Siggi booked for a silly tackle, he's late no doubt.

Are we going for a record . The most misplaced passes in a game

Knight of Thorgothshire Sat 21 Dec 2019, 2:06 pm

Ancelotti with the 1 mile stare in the stands. He's not impressed, I can tell you that.

Knight of Thorgothshire Sat 21 Dec 2019, 2:07 pm

Aubemeyang off for Lacazzet. Pretty sure I spelled both of those name wrong. Laughing

Knight of Thorgothshire Sat 21 Dec 2019, 2:08 pm

Keane with the pass of the game - under no pressure he belts the ball straight of out play and out of reach of Digne.

Knight of Thorgothshire Sat 21 Dec 2019, 2:09 pm

Sounds like Kean is coming on. Yes he is, Tosun is going off. I'd say Tosun was the invisible man today.

Knight of Thorgothshire Sat 21 Dec 2019, 2:10 pm

And Tosun has stormed down the tunnel.

Knight of Thorgothshire Sat 21 Dec 2019, 2:10 pm

Yep.

Michael Keane sums up the afternoon with a pass that goes straight out of play. The camera cuts to a stoney-faced Carlo Ancelotti.

Knight of Thorgothshire Sat 21 Dec 2019, 2:12 pm

This is I believe one of the worst games I have seen. Not just from us, but as a game as a whole.

Knight of Thorgothshire Sat 21 Dec 2019, 2:15 pm

Mina is down holding his groin.

Knight of Thorgothshire Sat 21 Dec 2019, 2:17 pm

We have a freekick from the left side of the box.....

Knight of Thorgothshire Sat 21 Dec 2019, 2:18 pm

This is so bad even the commentators are taking the piss.

Pathetic is an understatement when describing this game.

Richie and an Arsenal player are down. I just assume that Richie is down because, well, that's what he does.

An early Christmas present for insomniacs.

Freddie Ljungberg and Duncan Ferguson bow out with a game I implore everyone never to talk of again.

Knight of Thorgothshire Sat 21 Dec 2019, 2:26 pm

Well, we did get a point. Better than no points. That was the positive thing that can be taken from the game.

Armchair Sat 21 Dec 2019, 2:27 pm

A strangely subdued performance but we'd have taken a point at kick-off.

Despite some good results and lots of passion, you can't really say that we've played well under Duncan. The 442 keeps things tight but means our fullbacks can't get forward much.

'Scrappy and leggy but we fought it out'
Everton 0-0 Arsenal

Everton

Everton interim manager Duncan Ferguson on BT Sport: "We wanted three points but what a fantastic performance from us. I couldn't have asked anymore from the players - they've been fantastic for me.

"It was a bit scrappy and we were a bit leggy after Wednesday but we fought it out and we got a point and a clean sheet."

On the appointment of Carlo Ancelotti: "It's fantastic for the club for someone of that pedigree to come in at Everton. I haven't spoken to him yet but hopefully I will tonight over a couple of glasses of red wine."

He is clearly referring to the effort, but my oh my, we were totally shite.

hairy cataract Sat 21 Dec 2019, 2:44 pm

Dreadful, but happy to take another point. Big Dunc has done a more than decent job with a reduced squad - which was underperforming even before we got all the injuries.

I think we've learnt that the players bear a lot of responsibility for getting Silva the sack, but Silva himself couldn't get a tune of any sort out of them, whereas Big Dunc at least stopped us losing.

I have absolutely no idea why Ancelotti has taken this job though. I mean, he doesnt need the money, and he could have taken six months off and picked up a CL team to manage anywhere in Europe. Why come to us with our shite squad?
