What I did have a problem with was their lack of ambition in the final 20 minutes and blatant time wasting tactics. It truly was pathetic and it is the reason why Everton will never be a consistent European side if their manager tells them to settle for a point in games when there is still plenty of time left to go for a win.

was going to ask for 2 or 3 but give me one instance of time wasting last night ?

You do know simulation aka cheating is against the rules and is a yellow card offence and a red card offence inside the box
=============
You need to tell the FA this red card in the box rule, as all of their refs give yellows..

Samir I didn't see second half so can't really comment, maybe we were wanting to hit you on the break, but it has been a long standing problem of moyes to sit back when he should attack

No, I was talking about the Miralles foul that injured him.

Just because the ref fecked up and didn't give a foul doesn't make it right...

Can't see any foul committed in this video

I kinda see where the OP is coming from. A lot of our players were exaggerating when it came to the tackles.

That doesn't excuse Everton from playing the dire football that they did though.
You have to at least take that on the chin.

Come on now it's not as if Arsenal played brilliantly, they didn't, they were very average, even the crowd was on their backs

The only time Bakley was near wilshere was when he dove in two footed.

That's just proves you talk out your hoop,as it was a clean but hard challenge. The press and sports presenters all claim it was a fair tackle.

a draw was a fair result, you played no better football than us, don't know were you're coming from with that comment.

I said this on an article yesterday, but the constant moaning from Pienaar at the referee, particularly in the final few moments of the match, as well as Fellaini going to the ground rather dramatically too and conning the referee. Not to mention your manager as well bringing subs on to waste time.

Look overall a draw was the right result. But the way you approach the bigger teams away from home really hasn't got you anywhere and your record against the likes of us, United and even Spurs has shown that.

Mr Reasonable

You had every man back in your own half and your players were happy to keep possession in your own half. The only reason there was wave after wave of Arsenal attacks in the final 20 minutes is because your players dropped deeper and invited pressure. I only recall you catching us on the counter once in the second half.

Tbf Wilshere was acting a bit like a mug yesterday. I can see why opposition fans dislike him.
He's a but he's our

"Come on now it's not as if Arsenal played brilliantly, they didn't, they were very average, even the crowd was on their backs"

Arsenal weren't very good, yes. But why didn't your team go for it?
You guys could actually have won if you did.
Instead, your coach decided to sit back, and play a bore fest of a game. Shocking display.

"a draw was a fair result, you played no better football than us, don't know were you're coming from with that comment."

That's not the point, though. We at the very least tried to play football.
You guys refused to and just hoofed the ball up for majority of the game.

Why can't you admit that?

I was listening to talk sport today,and they were all saying what a good game it was,even the Arsenal fans. You're just bitter dubbed because I was proved right about Fellaini walking into the Arsenal side.

Their deluded fans just expect their team to just turn up and be granted 3 points, and when it goes wrong the dummy comes flying out of the pram

So wait. You didn't watch the game. Yet you're here arguing so aggressively about it?
You've confirmed what a massive idiot you are once again.

Don't think Everton sat back against us those last twenty minutes, after all they had brought on Jelavic to play up front with Anichebe, no?

I thought it was more a case of us taking the ascendancy once we brought Podolski/Ox on. It was class inevitably overpowering regular grit, that's all.

This is exactly the point I've been making to the Everton fans but they keep ignoring it and think I'm brutally attacking their team.

By the way you guys, Anichebe was garbage. He's been a pretty important player for you guys this season, but he was absolute trash yesterday. I can't actually remember him doing anything right as the lone forward. Koscielny had him in his back pocket the entire match.

Didn't over power it enough though AHB,

And sorry. How were you proved right exactly? You're a massive b3llend.

BBC Website stats we both had 10 efforts 5 were on target by us and 6 were on target by you.

I'd say for an away side at the Emirates that matching Arsenal for shots during 90 minutes were commendable.

Now I'm waiting for Ramsey to comeback to disprove these facts like he did for the fouls the ref missed.

samir
rubbish answers, fellain was fouled and i'm assuming we made the same amount of subs as you,

dubbed wenger
you're actually ridiculing your own team with that comment, the reason we "sat back" in the last 20 was because we were pinned back by your team being roared on by 60,000 fans desperate to score, you could bring on quality players we brought on naismith and jelavic who have been poor players, the players that stayed on were out on their feet

Not trying to be funny, but Anichebe did nothing right the entire match. They may as well have put a statue up front, he was hopeless. They tried to launch the ball up to him on several times, but to no avail.

Jelavic did absolutely zilch when he came on, too.

Even so, despite the subs Moyes made, you could see his players were content for settling with a point and although we did really go for it in the final 20 minutes, I think we could easily have lost if Everton kept up their intensity and tried to get at us more.

Personally I thought we were there for the taking, especially in that first half. Everton did not capitalise on it though.

Fellaini was fouled? Really? If that's the case, then for a big guy, he goes down very easily.

And you call our players wusses...
