It's always because of Chamberlain fluffing in attack that we get hit on the break and lose a goal, ****s sake, why didn't he pass it to Bellerin? He does that, and we don't lose the ball to get hit on the break.
First half analysis: Sick of Chamberlain costing us goals on the break. Other than we have been looking good.
Just about to watch the second half my first glimpse of football (with a proper ball) in over a month. Let's hope we can add an early goal in the second half and put this game to bed and celebrate being top of the league !
Good half of football overall. Everton have sat deep and then closed the spaces well, making themselves hard to break down. But we've had a few wonder passes from ozil and Cazorla which have opened them up. In particular the crosses for both goals were very good. Unlucky deflection for there goal, nothing much could be done about that by the time the shot was coming in. Oxocube hasn't been playing particularly well. If he doesn't up his game we are going to miss Ramsey. Oxo doesn't have the same defensive ability and still seems naive with his decision making at times. Cech has had a couple of shaky moments, palming it out into a dangerous area (though the wet conditions may have had something to do with the direction the ball went) and jumping for the ball and getting it wrong towards the end. But I'm happy we have him in goal, he has the highest ratio of saves in the league this season. In general I've felt Koscielny has kept Lukaku out if the game, pleased with how he's dealt with him so far. Having the option to play Giroud in games when teams are sitting back and it's difficult to find spaces for intricate passing, is a great option and with Walcott for our counter attacking game I'm actually quite pleased with our CF options at the moment. Both of them seem to be in form and thriving off the competition. In the air we have been totally dominant in this game and on corners and free kicks with Gabriel, Kosc and giroud in the box we are getting on the end of almost everything. We need to be wary of the counter attack, keep the ball and close out this game.
I was do hoping that oxo could rediscover his early season/preseason form but he really needs to step up and stop being dispossed so easily
I can't understand how Ox looked so good in pre-season and looks a shadow of the player at the moment
