Everton 2 v 2
Arsenal
This was the game
with the “fancy a toffee” and “chew – nil” texts.
Sczezney
Debuchy Chambers Mertesaker Monrael
Flamini
Wilshire Ramsey
Oxlade-Chamberlain Ozil
Sanchez
No
target man replacement for Giroud, then. Sanchez starts up the
middle. No Poldi either? A sign, an omen, or is the poor bloke just
knackered, or injured again? On the way out, says the smart money.
Otherwise,
the World Cup winners have returned.
I like
Roberto Martinez, he seems a thoroughly decent bloke and is a manager
determined to succeed playing football the right way.
We
conceded a poor goal, and then were very lucky not to give away a
penno, before conceding a second. Mertesaker didn't need to dive in
and get properly rolled, Chambers needed to stand up and not get left
behind on his arse. It shouldn't take an age for cover to
materialise. Yes, there was a foul, and yes it was offside, but yes:
a total lack of street smartness from our players, in an area where
it was desperately needed.
At 2 –
0 down, I really wasn't expecting anything, not against a very good
Everton team with a very good record.
Two
goals, and a late, late draw, a point that feels like a win.
"Chew - chew" the text said. "Chew-all".
