Yes. Won’t be surprised if he pulled some warming up
A coupe of good saves from Pickford but herein lies issues with Arteta’s approach
We aren’t able to pull them apart, create space. Make their heads spin and get them into areas they’re uncomfortable being in.
They’re fine with us having the FB’s move inside, they’re just packing the middle
Will be harder to punish them with set pieces also, the team just isn’t one that transitions quickly and incisively.
Won’t win the PL like this at all
20 passes in between defenders, and another 50 passes in between midfielders to find one perfect pass.
This ball recycling possession style is just fucking boring, and not even effective now.
On the ground we’re often too easy to defend against
We shouldn’t even be thinking of that right now cause we just don’t look like a title winning team.
Everton well organised as expected. Chances few and far between but can up the tempo in second half. Still all to play for!
Looks like a good few of us from OA here today… one of these days must organise a drink and a group photo for the OA Members thread!
Right. So one moment. Ffs.
This game is looking eerily like the Fulham game
Well that was shit.
We slow the game down way too fucking much. We just stand there and pass across with zero movement, minimal attempts to dribble at defenders outside of Saka, no incisive passing or creative combination play.
You expect Everton to be horrible to watch but we are genuinely just as bad on the eye.
Saka is our only attacker in any kind of form. Odegaard just hasn’t regained real sharpness yet, Havertz looks leggy and overplayed, Martinelli just not good enough.
If we continue to play such football, We don’t deserve to win the league even if we somehow get the requisite points.
If they take the lead it’s gonna be nasty
Truly top teams should have a viable plan against the likes of this approach
Everton have come set out their stall and asked us “what you got?”
Nothing really is the answer
Big second half performance needed.
Come on
Pickford ffs
Incredible save
In addition to below average depth, this is why we look unconvincing at times
good start
So many keepers overperform against us
wtf ode
