Cornish Steve Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Shoot. Had to attend a business dinner, so I missed the last 15 minutes. I see that the youngster came on up front. How did he do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Shoot. Had to attend a business dinner, so I missed the last 15 minutes. I see that the youngster came on up front. How did he do? He won a header. Wasn't really much else but he was a willing runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeQuince Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Still can't wrap my head around what happened at the end of the game there. Just watched that sequence again and holy fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Pete, it was McCarthy that made that challenge I think.Thanks Romey. Hopefully he's back to his best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyblue23 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 He won a header. Wasn't really much else but he was a willing runner. He looked good minus a botched clearance. Was running into space but Arsenal was closing down on Coleman and Barkley well on the right side so they didn't have much opportunity to find him.

Paddock Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 What a performance. What an atmosphere. So glad I was a part of it. Big difference in the players when it's not like a library isn't there Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Shoot. Had to attend a business dinner, so I missed the last 15 minutes. I see that the youngster came on up front. How did he do? Won two headers from corners, defended two headers at our end. Made a good run and challenge for the corner which left Williams a free header for the winner. Also was a nuisance for their defence. Pretty impressive for so little time. nyblue23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baines block in the last seconds was literally worth two points. Sibdane and nyblue23 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rusty747 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 It certainly was a great result and a great performance. But it only remains a great result and a great performance if we can carry that intensity into matches against lesser opposition - starting next Monday night. Lets see the Old Lady really rockin lads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Ian Wright made a tongue in cheek comment about how Everton had 12 players on the pitch and once "they came on" it was always going to be unfair for Arsenal. The thing that caught my eye the most was at the end. It was backs to the wall stuff but they survived. So much different to last season. We even had a chance to kill the game and make it 3 at the death. But at the final whistle we saw Baines and Coleman just overcome with emotion. It showed us that some of these players do care about the club, that recent performances have been eating them up. Now they have to extend this moment for as long as possible because when Everton play like that they are irresistible. No team in the land could cope with that level of intensity. To be fair, 9 times out of 10 we would have conceded. 2 chances in the 18 yard box with the keeper nowhere. We got lucky whereas last year Baines clearance would have probably hit Funes Mori on the arse and back into the net! Not that I am complaining mind you!

MikeO Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 EvertonTV commentary at the start of the game... "These sides have met in the last seventy-three seasons now incredibly in the top flight of English football, this is Everton's sixty-second consecutive top flight campaign and Arsenal's ninety-first." How does that make sense ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that make sense ? I'm guessing "in the last" shouldn't be there. In other words, they've met 73 times in the top flight - including in 62 consecutive seasons and 11 more before that. This is the only way I can make sense of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't add up either, we've only been out of the top flight four times in the history of the league so if this is Arsenal's 91st season we've played against them in 87 seasons.

In that case, maybe the commentator quoting numbers was previously a spokesperson for Brexit. Matt and MikeO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
