Arsenal 0-0 Everton - the fans' verdict

- Published

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Arsenal and Everton.
Here are some of your comments:
Arsenal fans:
Rachel: The inconsistency of this team is thoroughly disappointing. I think we have to face the facts that we simply aren't good enough. Teams like Chelsea are in the ascendancy. Arsenal put in an accomplished performance against Monaco three days ago yet cannot find a way to beat a team 15th in the league. No more excuses, Mikel Arteta. You know what to do.
Richard: Another disappointing result for AFC. Home games against lower-half teams are "must win" for any team with title aspirations. As ever, Arsenal had a lot of possession and passed the ball around nicely, but failed to score. A striker is urgently required in January.
Ste: Up front we're less X-factor and more Y-bother. Upgrades needed urgently if we're going to be anything other than a footnote in this title race.
Kelvin: Not surprised anymore. We can only hope to finish in the top four. If we don't buy a good number nine, then I fear we will start losing some of our senior players to clubs who are winning trophies.
Everton fans:
Peter: We defended and disrupted well, but didn't make enough chances. Solid performance in all, but it would have been so sweet to nick a cheeky goal in the final few minutes.
Dave: Digging in for a boring defensive game does nothing towards entertaining the supporters. Boring boring Sean Dyche and boring football. Most Everton fans are used to this mind-numbing football now as Everton persevere with one poor striker trying to pinch a goal. If not, a bore draw is usually served up. Boring tactics to kill a game. Why can't the mighty Everton go into a game with attractive football expecting to score a few goals? Dyche out asap!
Andy: We showed very little ambition and parked the bus, but there is no shame in that against one of the top teams. Great shift by all concerned. Unexpected point to be honest. In future seasons we need to target giving Arsenal a game as equals. Dyche won't be part of that equation but as long as he keeps us up this season, I can't complain too much.
David: Good to see the re-emergence of our strong defensive work that was missing in the first few games of this season. A solid display and considering where we are currently and our history with this fixture a point is a massive bonus. Well done, Blues!
