Compelling first half. We started at a blistering pace and Everton couldn't handle it, we could have been 2 or 3 up after half an hour. Great start. Credit to Everton though, they've worked hard and have pressed us well, they started to force a couple of mistakes. I think we just needed to get hold of the ball in the later part of that half. It's got nothing to do with 'scared tippy tappy' rubbish, it's about keeping hold of possession in order to relieve pressure and control the game.
I typed that before the replays so I assumed it was the line and I don't feel like editing it since the IPad is a bitch to use
No, it was tippy tappy rubbish as we've seen for much of the season, with a healthy dose of giving the ball away needlessly. Not good enough from 25-45. You can credit Everton all you like, but the stupid decision making and poor passing in the last 20 had nothing to do with Everton.
Good first 25 or so minutes, then a poor 10 mins where we seemed to be playing slightly too slowly due to evertons poor pressing at the start of the game. Looked like we came back to life in the last 5-10 though. Overall a good half, we just need to watch how we play it out of defense. If we are wanting to play it out like we are then we must be quick about it and not invite too much pressure. Walcott and Rosicky have played well and it seems when they are playing well the rest of the team do better. Rosicky has had a slightly more free role than other wingers and this has allowed him to get across and walcott to get forward. I am actually impressed with the formations Wenger is creating at the moment, i think he is going for a 433 442 hybrid!
JAYRAM - you do over use the word **** !! However we have become casual AGAIN like we used to...... Wenger put a rocket up 'em.
it wasn't stupid tippy rubbish though we did it on a few instances Poor decision makin I agree But Everton improved since Moyes moved up Fellaini
Oh and other than the obvious miss infront of goal i think Ramsey has been pretty good - i think sometimes he trys a little too hard and messes up - he needs to relax into the rhythm of the game a bit more. He is a young player and developing well - lets not get on his back.
Ramsey isn't a flair player, but he is a grafter.And whilst some will inevitably concentrate on what didn't work for him. He's had a decent first half
1-0 vs Tottenham 2-0 vs Chelsea 1-0 vs City That's just a few Everton results at home. We're doing well
Don't think he is developing well - if anything he is going backwards. OXO wide - Rosicky in the middle. That's what is needed now.
You said he was a 'very good player' the other day, that was after calling him ****. You don't seem to know what you're talking about
2nd half coming up - we need to keep good possession in this half. And that folks .... is not tippy tappy rubbish
