Everton is typically a team that finishes the season in a good enough table position to secure a UEFA Cup, the new Europa Cup, spot. However, today they got off to a rough start against Arsenal. The Gunners are the Big Four team in question if any but they put on a display that sent some Everton supporters home as early as the 50th minute. It's not good to lose your first match of the season. It's worse to lose it in front of your own fans but an abomination to lose 6-1 at home.
I only caught the second half of the game but I saw all of the goals through highlights. Tim Howard was rocked in the Everton goal mouth. He had no help from his defenders who were dreadful defending set pieces. Both Gallas, and Vermaelen scored from headers, virtually unmarked. However, it wasn't the two Arsenal defenders that opened the floodgates. It was little Denilson who curled a beauty into the top corner. The woes continued for the Toffees in the second half. It just seemed like the Arsenal players were to quick and fast for Everton. I felt like Everton was playing without a midfield. It was evident on the 4th goal. A quick counter attack broke down the Everton defense without a problem leading to a clear shot for Fabregas. It was right at Howard who was nutmegged. The match was all but over at this point. On the second Fabregas goal, which was dedicated to Dani Jarque by a jersey with his name and number brought off the bench for Cesc to hold up, the Spaniard brought the ball from inside his half to the edge of the area before scoring. He was unchallenged the entire way. It wasn't like he skipped by a couple defenders. The last goal was just a sad sight for not only Everton players, and fans but for everyone. Arshavin toe poked a ball lightly from the penalty spot in a scramble that beat Tim Howard, rebounding off the post and cleaned up by Eduardo. Everton salvaged a goal late on via Saha off a rebound. A 6-1 disaster for the men in blue.
David Moyes has a lot of work to do if Everton want to challenge for anything this season. This is the worst possibly start they could have asked for. Morale is surely down. Toffee supporters will hope this doesn't lead to a string of bad results.

Yepp gr8 result for Arsenal, Lescott aparntly told Moyes he wasn't readi 2 play in dis game, ( fink it was more mentally den physically), nd i fink now Moyes may ave 2 sell, especially if Lescott reli doesn't want 2 stay nd he's creatin a negative atmosphere on the team, in other PL news Liverpool lost 2dai :), Chelsea scored a l8, l8 goal 2 get the win, nd Utd won by a single goal against Birmingham so Arsenal lookin the best out of the top 4 so far..
ReplyDeleteAlso Bobby wot u fink of the madrid game? or did u not get a gd enuf connection 2 c it?
Yeah if lescott doesnt wanna play at everton, the fans won't want him their either. just let him. go, they are getting good money for him. Arsenal were great tho. Me connection for the madrid game a was poor. I did manage to see the wesley freekick. Have to run tho. its almost midnight here. and my first training session of my own preseason is later on at midnight

ReplyDeleteIn ofa news reports in spain ave aparntly said dat Negredo may now join Real Zaragoza rather den Hull..
I like Negredo, I hope he finds a good place to play because he doesnt seem to have a set future in madrid. Zaragoza, Hull, where ever it may be, he'll do well. Im on the eastern sea board of the United states so 6 hours different from you. ur ahead. But i'm an attacking right back. Kind of like Sergio Ramos, only i try to do a bit more getting back lol
