Look what happens when we actually attack and don't have the shackles on...

[PeterParker]

Doku!

Donnaruma should join for every corner!

[branny]

Amazing how we keep scoring from outside the box when we shoot.

[Redna]

West Ham must win.

[PeterParker]

Instead of bollocking Pickford maybe have a look in your own yard, eh, Pepito?

[KinkyKinkladze]

Well done doku.

Semenyo, guehi, nunes, you all need a word with yourselves. Awful performances. We're all allowed a sub par game sometimes but not right now, not at this point.

Semenyo though, this has been a good 4-5 games in a row now. What are you offering?

Michael Oliver is a eunuch.

[Redna]

When opponents is allowed to kick and tug we struggle, but who wouldn't?

[bigblue]

lucky to get a draw, defense shat the bed, attack offered very little, but the ref was more biased than I can remember in recent years. let everything slide for Everton - constant late challenges, shirt pulls, holding back on giving out yellows, ignoring obvious fouls, etc

I always wanted Ederson outfield for a game, maybe we'll see a front 2 of Haaland and Donna and just lump the ball to them.

[Nick]

Doku class. Rest wank.

Guehi owes us a goal.

Re donna. Needs to learn to defend corners. Caused no chaos when he came up for ours and nearly got in the way of the doku goal

Arsenal's title
They were there for the taking and we simply fell apart when they got amongst us.
Great goals fom Doku but it matters not a jot.
Too many defensive errors, no bite in midfield. Cherki and Semenyo once again very wasteful . I'd say Doku was unproductive for most parts but it seems a bit churlish given he scored 2 great goals. Haaland not in that game, we gave him nothing to work with and once again fail to play to his strengths.
Referee was poor but fuck me, Everton ddnt need his help.
Guehi was poor tonight. Donna Rumma needs to watch how that dwarf Pickford commands his area at corners, because he's fucking useless in the air. I'll just tune in for the Cup final, League games are done now. Just in time for extra capacity in the North stand. Cheers Pep

[Kippax Sean]

When you don't give 100% effort for 90 mins shit like this happens. Majority of that team are soft and not used to fighting for a win. Too little too late.

The team picked was right, we absolutely battered Everton. Can't see what Pep did wrong.

Fucking pathetic mistakes at the back cost us tonight. 15 minutes of stupidity by Guehi, Kovacic being too weak and schoolboy defending at a corner.

Although we should have been playing V 10 for whole second half too don't forget.

You say 'they got amongst us'... Do you mean when the ref just let them kick lumps out of us without punishment. They were allowed to cheat.

We absolutely battered them first half, 100% agree. We started the second half and didnt have a shot on target until Haaland scored.. We seemed happy to keep it 1-0 and not go for the throat, that's not on the players, that's Pep's tactics second half.

Let's look at the positives though - no one had to watch Savio

[zuricity]

West Ham must win.

West Ham must not lose !

[Dubciteh]

Atrocious defending from guehi and kusanov, they were so poor with the ball first half too. Kusanovs head was gone in the first half with multiple mistakes and he carried into the second half. Guehi my god so poor, look at his face for when nidaye missed the first chance, his head was gone there and then.

Id be bringing back stones and ake for the rest of the season. A little bit of calmness and experience.

Its done anyway, relying on west ham to get something, no chance. They were the worst team to visit the etihad this season and nuno is a fraud. Burnley and a palce team preparing for the confernce cup final, no chance.

It was like madrid away, our weaker players shown up for what they are, a level below anything we have had in the past

Yes, they were quicker to press and challenge and their challenges were aggressive. The ref let alot go, but once it was obvious that's how he was going to ref, we need to step up and fight fire with fire. A measure of a good team is that they can do this. We can't do it, a lot of these players are soft and prefer to fall over and cry when the ref doesn't blow. Khusanov, Silva, Haaland, Reilly? The rest are jelly in the tackle, easily blown away. It was the right team but Pep need to get on that touchline after 5 mins into that second half and start screaming at them to put themselves about

[sheblue]

We have 6 or 7 players who have not been in this position before. A team in transition and pushing a team that took 7 years to build
Not bad.
