Buendia just scored, sign him up
Actually funnyWell who got Gabriel as the answer?
If they can do it with Walcott, we can do it with what we have.
Your second paragraph is the key. We showed good commitment apart from the first 20 minutes. By which time, we were a goal down trying to salvage something with a group of poor, scared and demotivated players. We can't expect anything and Arteta needs to stop micro managing abd sit down and allow the players to express themselves. Saka playing outside the rule nook gave us hope.Given the circumstances a draw feel like a good result.
Overall I thought the players showed an improved commitment bar the first 20 minutes and there were flashes of decent play going forwards, most involving Saka and Auba linking up.
These individual calamities leading to sending's off really are unacceptable though. That's three time recently. We could quite easily have had 5-6 extra points without them. It's letting their teammates and the club down. It needs to stop. Individual responsibility is needed.
When push came to shove it was Saka who stood up and took the game by the scruff of the neck. He was jinking though Southampton's defence like a slalom skier for Auba's goal. Magnificent stuff.
Credit to Holding too, not my favourite player but he was excellent at the back after Gabriel's sending off. Very unfortunate with his header too.
Saka. Best player at the club
It was shocking watching Romeu pass the ball casually in front of our box with no pressure on him. ****er must have felt like prime Cesc
What made yellow is not the foul itself but the phase of the game and position of the play. Southampton were in attacking transition in our half that's a yellow. In addition, considering Theo's pace, he would have been one-on-one with the keeper.That's not yellow card offence lol.
Regular foul with no malicious intent, talking to or a warning.
Never a second yellow or red, to clarify.
I honestly can’t imagine that really happens but I’m normal so it’s hard to fathom
Theo probably would've scored on that run itself.Wouldn't even surprised me, that the red card prevented us from losing.
Southampton needs space behind the last line and with all men in our own box, they nearly had no space to attack us.
Otherwise we still would play with high line and they would score some counter goal.
Thought we have looked better attacking wise the last 3 games.Hard to know how to react to that game. I think many people were expecting us to lose, so in that sense a point isn't terrible. And the red card skews things. But then by any normal metric it was another absolutely terrible performance, so it doesn't make much sense to point at the positives.
Idk either way you cut it things just aren't improving, are they.
Why is everyone so obsessed with me having lacazette as my avi He looks handsome and thats all I care about mateYou've got Lacazette as your avi, you're far from normal.
Our forwards pressed most of the match today.. though the midfield wasn’t aligned with this.Southampton play pressing football, Ings and Adams can do it all game...none of our forwards have the intensity for that, bar maybe Eddie.
this guy
Some hipsters said he was past it.Everton doing well enough with the manager we should have appointed. How could Arteta or the idiot Emery be a better choice than a real legend like Ancelotti.
The old Theo would have tripped over his own feet after beating his man. Not sure about Theo the Celtic Warrior.Theo probably would've scored on that run itself.
He'd be the closest to 'replacing' Cazorla. Not at the same level of ability, but close enough for what we need.Buendia just scored, sign him up
