Schär most likely needed the rest as he hasn't been playing much for ages. Much rather throw Clark in to play in the game where we have less than 5% chance of winning and guarantee you have Schär for the Man U game.

There are no fucking options in this squad ffs. Howe puts Hayden and/or Hendrick/Longstaff to midfield and he gets slagged off for picking shite players. If Krafth was starting instead of Ritchie, you would be slagging him off for having Krafth on the pitch. Schär most likely needed the rest and Clark is sadly the only option right now.

What a fickle bunch of cunts. Imagine writing off Howe after a handful of games where most have been lost due to individual brain-dead moments.

Dubravka gave away the corner and I would expect a goalkeeper to deal with balls like that so close to his goal.

Can't blame just Clark, that's equally terrible from Dubravka.

Saw a few stills of that and it honestly should never have stood. Attacker makes that run in an offside position and it would always be taken off by VAR. Harsh on TAA but it's all on Dean.

We were a lot better than I expected, has to be taken as a positive despite the scoreline.

Class shot but fucking hell Dean, just retire.

Dean is taking the piss here, fucking hell.

He clearly went through Fraser first, what in the absolute fuck?

We were really unlucky against Brentford and Norwich tbh so think that’s a bit unfair on Howe.

Howe and Fraser urging the team to press higher from a throw-in and it just doesn’t happen.

I really don’t see it this way. We have 10 players who are there solely to defend, he absolutely should be saving energy for the few bursts forward in a game like this.

ASM is doing exactly what is expected from him in this system and he had a good half. No idea what people are moaning about.

Me neither but Dean must have an xray vision to have seen it from that position. So we probably tried to cheat but still got cheated by Dean.

Hayden was probably fine but I’m also almost 100% sure Dean couldn’t have seen it from that pile.

VAR respects the ref's original decision way too much considering it was originally brought in because the refs are shite. Game is so fast now that it's completely understandable that refs will miss things but I have no idea why those wrong decisions have to get so much respect from the VAR team. I was never expecting today's to be overturned despite it never being a foul in my opinion due to that. It's been a lot better this year in not giving penalties for every contact but still mightily struggles overturning a decision when there is contact that is never a foul like today. It will never get better unless the referees watching the screen get better and I don't see that happening anytime soon. The best solution would be to not have the VAR team consisting of referees but some independent party that wouldn't be scared of hurting their friends feelings for overturning a decision.

That's terrible from Ter Stegen.

That's bullshit but it's not VAR's fault, Oliver is still making the decision.

Amazing finish by Demiral, 2-2 with 20 minutes to go.

Eh? Lascelles is the only unpopular forum pick on that lineup and most probably expected him to start in any case against Burnley.

Everton’s squad is really weak and Rafa has been missing three of their best players for a large part of the season. That has to be a factor when you are saying how poor a job Rafa has been doing this season, no? I really disagree with most of your opinions about both Arsenal and Everton squads too.

Arsenal’s squad is so much better than Everton’s that it’s unreal. DCL has been out for a while, Richa has been in and out and Doucoure had an injury. They have to play shite like Gordon, Iwobi, Davies as there simply isn’t anyone else. Rondon and Coleman both look finished but they don’t have any other options. I’ve watched them quite a bit this year and I don’t think he’s lost the dressing room either outside of Richarlison who seems to think he has outgrown Everton which tbh is probably fair. Rafa could easily get the boot but I doubt there is a manager who would have done any better with that squad and Gray and Townsend have been their best players available all season.

Maybe they should stop being dimwits and use it properly then.

I don't see any risk in us being banned from spending money in January. More risk that no one wants to come here but money should take care of that, world is full of players that could improve us.
