The desperate ones.

Some of the negativity on here is mad, but some the opinions that are coming with them are completely insane. Is this how it starts when they're on the road to entitlement ?

Doubt it since he signed a new contract end of October The guy is most likely just not in form at the moment. Main responsiblity lies with Howe having the guts to bench him if he isn't showing any improvements in traning up until the Everton game. Would love to see the direct, hard working goal threat of last season next sunday. This version that just half commits to pressing, doesn't track back, misses easy passes, can't control the ball, doubles down on dives by staying down feigning injury rather than getting up and chasing back if he doesn't get the free kick he was after doesn't offer us anything.

Thank fuck for some sense.

The only thing that makes me slightly confident is Branthwaite joining Tarkowski on the sidelines. Let's say an awkward 2-1 minger.

God I hope Isak plays, otherwise can see a cagey 0:0. We can't seem to play well for a full 90 either. That's twice now we have come out slow in the 2nd half. Gordon is all bluster with no quality at the moment. Need to start with Barnes left, Murphy right and play with speed and intensity and score early. Otherwise it's going to get nervy as hell as Pickford wastes time all game.

Not been the same since Southgate/England benching. Not sure what's going on with him. Surprised he was kept on.

Absolute rubbish . We were playing our plan b to start with with 5 at the back.

Oh FFS. Here's the 8kun battalion. Eddie won 3 of 4 against the clown.

Did you watch the game after our substitutions?

Other than the goal (which was a gift from Gordon) I don't think Arsenal did anything special in the 2nd half.

He lacks quality options. He'd do much better with that Arsenal squad than Arteta.

Yep. Ambition is fantastic, provided you earn that level of ambition.

Has to start Barnes on the left. Gordon offered nothing for months now as well as he always looks really bad vs Everton.

I reckon should have kept him on the pitch and play Gordon up top instead of Osula

We've won more points from losing positions than anyone except Liverpool and Man City "Doesn't have a plan B" ffs

We seem to play better under pressure, at least.

I get the feeling he thinks he's better than he is. Maybe as far as thinking he is better than Newcastle.

Feels a bit like the Liverpool league game before we played in the final. We are keeping our powder dry for next week, no margin for error, but 90 mins should be enough to put them to bed.

7 halfs to 1, 3wins to 1, 1trophy to 0. Even a blind squirrel happens across the odd acorn

If Isak is fit then we need that front three of Barnes, Isak and Murphy Gordon struggles against Everton when in form, not a chance I'd play him at this moment, too much riding on it

Bingo. Bring Miley into a 433.

Bollocks. He doesn't have the players, man. He's more than capable of matching wankers like Arteta

Give him a break been playing out of position. If I was him I'd be banging on Eddie's door to ask why he's not playing on the left - was bang in form until he was shifted on to the right.
