I thought Iwobi looked pretty good at Arsenal the couple of times I saw him (a mate has seats in hospitality through his employer so I occasionally got invited as a guest). Whenever I mentioned this to Arsenal fans though, they always laughed. I guess the jury’s still out then?

When you say someone looks decent and they burst out laughing... Its not a good sign like

It was Sunday....and we were ****, and I’ve not been around to talk about it. Without Richarlisons drive and being a constant outlet for Rodriguez to hit, we had no width. As Iwobi is utter dogshit, hence why he was hooked at HT. Godfrey isn’t a full back and proved it, as he offered literally nothing going forwards, so we had nothing down the right flank either.

We improved 2nd half and looked capable of getting back in the game before the sending off, but that killed any chance of that.

I thought we’d fall down there, and so it proved. One game though and we move on, but with another suspension.
Pity I missed the 1st half as obviously you don't get the full picture unless you've watched the whole game. Richarlison's been impressive so far this season and I guess he's a large part of the energy and drive which seemed missing.

You seem to be saying that the squad you have isn't yet good enough...which is fair enough given Ancelotti has only had one main window to shape and mould the squad.
 
The jury has been in for ages, he’s absolutely ****ing mince, and an awful piece of business last year. We were in for Zaha and ended up with that donkey ffs. I’ve always thought he was ****e, but was prepared to give him the benefit, but he’s done nothing to change my view on him. He’s clumsy, half arsed and imo plain thick.


<laugh> Don’t beat around the bush mate. Say what you really think.

West Brom only 3 touches in the Brighton box in the first 40 minutes, not looking good for them.

Strong enough to win the league? No, is it **** as like.

Literally no Everton fan expected us to top the league after half a dozen games, and yet we are. Unless you’re City you don’t have players on the bench good enough to replace key first choice players of the quality of Richarlison.

If it makes you feel any better, we took your money and then doubled it on Pepe.

What was your thoughts on the red mate?

Seems an odd one to appeal as even if not intentional it clearly endangered an opponent.

Reminds me of the Vardy one which injured Virgil and cost us a trophy :(

I can understand why it was given, but I don’t think it was intentional and as many pro’s have said since, you can’t send people off for an accidental catch when running at full pelt. Equally it looked ****, so I get the converse view.

He has all the attributes, but no end product. Just needs to release the ball, take fewer touches. Loads of times he turned back, let the CB get settled and put in a ****e cross.

He has pace, is strong and has some skill.....but my god he makes Barkley look intelligent with the ball!

Don't think the fact he went for him prior to it and then chased him 20 yards helped his case tbh.

He’s ****ing thick mate. Gives the ball away constantly even when no under any real pressure. Makes the wrong decisions, his shooting is a lottery, then occasionally he’ll do something and you think, that was decent, but it’s rare.

I can't disagree, he has the football intelligence of a ross barkley recovering from a brain injury. If getting hooked at HT doesn't get a reaction from him then we are fooked. Nobody will save us from him.

Pretty sure he’s been hooked at HT by Carlo on a few occasions. Another one we’ll struggle to give away. Not Brands finest hour him.
