Everton v Arsenal (19:45 GMT) Goodison Park (Not live on UK Terrestrial TV)

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Nice save from Chesney.

Need someone to get this game by the scruff of the neck. The one thing disappointing me about Wilshere since he came back is that hasn't done it yet. Hopefully he can get it back into his game soon because we're rudderless out there.

AdamD

Cazorla's been muck. Not as if hes been marked out of the game either

and who's the co-commentator on fox? His voice is annoying as **** and hes clueless

greendom

Just unable to create anything out there

Because Arteta won the ball? :P

Sergio

Haunted Ref didnt give peno against Arteta's tackle

Fuzzy_Dunlop

The subs better not be left too feckin late this time.

greendom

This is poor from Arsenal

robby^5

Ox and Coq should come on for Cazorla and Ramsey. Both of them are being dispossessed way too much.

greendom

Close from Giroud - first decent Arsenal cross

Mickeroo

Not far off from Giroud there

greendom

Forcing Everton into making fouls here -

AdamD

What is Wenger doing....? Any chance of a sub?

UnknownSpecies

Subs are already too late, typical. Cazorla and Ramsey need to be taken off. We're getting into it more, I fancy we could nick it if the changes are made now and we get a bit of life injected into us.

Mickeroo

Didn't know thomas hitzlsperger was back in the PL

AdamD

79 minutes before he makes a sub. Bizarre. This commentators completing ridiculous too

Cazorla is awful tonight.

Mickeroo

Bah, reverse the roles there and that was buried. We've a goal in us yet.

Damnit Gervinho, it's not like your head isn't big enough!

greendom

ooohhh a couple of inches lower and that would have been 2 -1 Arsenal

Sergio

Cmon now ffs finish strong it be great to get 3 points here.

Mickeroo

fecksake gibbs, take it down!

Soups123

What's left lads, gis a goal gunners

AdamD

Cazorla....could he play any worse

greendom

nearly threw it away there Sagna was dozing

Mickeroo

Every match is either a total cluster**** or a frustrating bore these days.

Mickeroo

Great footwork from Gerv on the break therer I hhave to say.

keano_afc

I havent seen an Arsenal side pass the ball as poorly since last Saturday.

tayto lover

Absolute rubbish display.
What will this week's excuse be?

greendom

Disjointed overall - pretty solid defensively but very little going on in the final third.

KaiserGunner

We are quite an ordinary side these days, create feck all. Quite depressing really, seeing a once exciting side turn to this.

DenMan

Another disappointed performance. Can't wait to hear what Wenger has to say. Get Henry in January to boost morale and help confidence!

"I felt we lacked a bit of sharpness in the final third. Perhaps we were a bit jaded. We certainly played with the handbrake on".

We didn't get one decent cross in again.

Hold on... is that a quote? Ridiculous, they shouldn't be 'jaded' already. He says we lack sharpness after every poor display, he should be telling us how he is going to fix this lack of sharpness as opposed to throwing us the same line week-in, week-out !

Sorry to be pedantic but there were 2. Giroud just missed from Walcott and Gervinho needed a little more spring to get onto a decent one from Giroud. not enough though when we have such a good target man. And when the target man provides 50% of the decent crossses you have problems.

Giroud's cross was nice even though Gervinho complained about it after. He couldn't play it along the ground, defender would have blocked it. He took the right option. Sagna's crossing has gone to absolute shite though. It's so frustrating to watch our fullbacks kick the ball along the ground and into the first defender time and time again.

Walcott to Giroud was a wee bit too high but Giroud was unlucky..
The ball into Gervinho should have been to his feet. I actually think he was off-side too but it wasn't given. They were the only two balls put in tonight and none from the right side where I thought Sagna looked over-weight and was very slow to put a ball in. Didn't cross with his right foot all night and his left foot crosses were short and weak. This aspect of Arsenal's play is very worrying.
