    Typical arsenal, great finish by Rooney after a Guaye tackle.

    How is that not a free kick. He got no ball. Arsenal out of luck these days.

    Didn't see it from all angles but was that not a free kick for Xhaka?

    Would need to see it again but looks like there was minimal to no contact on xhaka. He just fell down expecting the free.

    No need.

    Just make sure the ref does his job correctly.

    Did the ref include the tackle on Xhaka as part of the 3 fouls for Gueye's yellow?

    Still had studs pointing up and lifted leg towards player.

    Deserved equaliser there, not the most likely source of it anyway.

    How come Arsenal are wearing their change kit today? It's not like red clashes with blue. To be fair though, lots of clubs are doing similar, when there's no need to. Including us; the win at Watford springs to mind straight away. Is there some PL rule about clubs having to wear the change kit a specified number of times? Or is it simply down to marketing?

    Quick reaction by Monreal there; 1-1

    Bit unnecessary from Pickford goading Sanchez after the save. Expect Sanchez to score now.

    It was. Looked like the Everton player (was it Gueye?) caught Xhaka's knee with his.

    Away game, Sunday tv game that will attract plenty of viewers, all marketing ploy merely

    Well, with Wales being knocked out via his error, Everton having a rough ride, midweek shenanigans against Lyon and being subbed off today, and lots of criticism, generally for his performances and temperment, he isn't exactly flavour of the month!

    Second time this season he has been subbed off at HT and for an experienced international centre half, that is pretty embarrassing.

    Pickford aside, who I think is good, Everton have spent a lot of money on some very ordinary players. Looks like costing Koeman his job ultimately.

    Vlasic has been good and a decent signing.

    No clue what's happend to Siggy. Keane never going to look amazing beside Jags and William's. Considering concede every week

    The great Gareth Southgate looks on from the stands, plotting a quarter final exit in the upcoming world cup to a team ranked below them.

    Haven't seen enough of Vlasic but looks decent in this game.

    Davy Klassen, anyone could of told you he was never going to do anything in the premier league.

    Just goes to show having some money to spend does not always mean the team gets better. Ask a Liverpool fan!

    Same thing that happened to him at Spurs, playing him out wide. He's a number 10.

    Reminds me of Mark Hughes a fink. When he bought a load of flops at City.

    I like Vlasic. I wanted Siggy but looks a shadow of him former self.

    Rooney is scoring so can't complain much in that regard.

    Our back line is just terrible Pickford aside.

    What Everton have done is more akin to the “Super Seven” Spurs bought to replace Bale.
