Unless his name Saka. Stop lying mikel ffs

He's telling some white lies here, there are definitely players who are undroppable Saka, Ode, Saliba etc.

He masterful l*ar every press conference there 3 lies at least.

What did Rice do? Hardly noticed him. Everton are the worst team in the league they have 0 threat.

He did everything he had to do ..

 

[Sapient Hawk]

...love him

He's a certified tw*t but I feel a kindred spirit in our shared pettiness. I feel so conflicted

I thought the guys controlled the game well today. Well-defended front to back, although Everton didn’t really look like they wanted to play football.
I’m no rules expert, but Martinelli’s goal has to stand, doesn’t it? I don’t understand how that’s offside.
I’m seriously sick of watching teams manhandle Saka every single game with no real consequences. I thought the league protected English superstars.
Finally, Trossard’s world class finish reminds us how much attacking talent we have. I don’t believe we’re gonna struggle to score goals all season.

Looking forward for CL game our positive season start hopefully create nice atmosphere at Emirates in Wednesday

Harsh on Tarkowski.

Sure, he was hanging off the backs of our players in the box like an overeager chimp at a jungle gym but he did his level best.

The amount of grappling Everton players were allowed was absolutely through the roof.

I wish this talk of dropping would disappear. It's a squad game ffs. You gave a spine but you also have players for games and you have 16 players who can participate in a game. There's no point in having a strong bench if the players are kept sat on it.

For example, I'd be very tempted to start Kiwior against PSV and keep Saliba on the bench, Tross for Martin and start with Nelson or ESR against PSV. Good to keep the opponents guessing and the players on their toes and knowing they have a chance to play. And keep the freshness for the game against the arch-enemy.

But why do you always do this? Deliberately ignore important factors when you make your points?

When last did we win at Everton, and what are the reasons for that? An absolutely **** team, who were also quite **** at the end of last season, put 5 goals past full attacking flow Brighton toward's that season's end. Do you understand why that happened, particularly looking at the way Brighton play?

Sometimes its important to apply context bro.

That Brighton win was a freak result. I don’t see why our poor form at Goodson is a factor. A bad team is a bad team, Everton are a bad team.

Trossard’s shot goes in off the post and it’s all “solid away win against low block”. That shot is 5 inches to the left and it’s meltdown cos we played a sh*te team and couldn’t create enough attacking chances.

Think our attack has become a bit predictable. Remember last season that Martinelli at times would come out to the right to combine with Saka, this would cause trouble for opposition.

Hopefully when Jesus is firing on all cylinders again we'll see a more dynamic attack again.

It always looks predictable when Nketiah plays. Jesus is the difference between us being a good attacking side vs a great one.

The shot went in, happy days. Whether it went in or not, doesnt take away from the fact that it was a solid performance.

And no, it wasnt just a freak result. You get those results when you lose the ball high up the pitch against a low block with pacey out ball runners. The tactic works well, and it got Mourinho's 2005 Chelsea to 95 points.

There's context to football. Its not just Everton are **** therefore Arsenal performed poorly, that's just lazy.

 

[andeoch1]

Did you watch the game? We took quite a number of shots from outside the box.

Zingy did anyway, toooo many

The rules of the game agree with you, but VAR doesn't.

Another rule left to interpretation that many believe is hard facts. The goal could have stood then ffs

 

[andeoch1]

What!
He wasn’t even tested like at all.
Did he even have to make challenging save?

Max 7/10. He didn’t make mistakes. That was his highlight.

He did take a few crosses cleanly without flapping at ‘em

The rules of the game agree with you, but VAR doesn't.

So to me it looks like the rule says the ball has to be "in control". In this instance it wasn't in control, even if the player deliberately played the ball.

What a weird rule. The pass wasn't intended to Nketiah and the opposition player kicked the ball there, so I think this should be a goal. But it seems the rules are not very good regarding this.

That shot went exactly where Trossard wanted it to go - just outside of *******ds reach and in on the inside of the post - brilliant

Thought we managed this game really intelligently. When VAR disallowed our goal, it invigorated the Everton fans and moments like this can lead to a shift in momentum. Instead, we took our time and controlled possession and didn't become emotional. We killed the crowd dead.

Think that's an example of growth if you compare that to Liverpool (A) and Everton (A) last season.
