Re: I’m so sick of Kompany
Way more experienced managers than we have now such as Ten Hag (great at Ajax), Tuchel (serial winner), Pochetino (got Spurs to a CL final, Spurs !!!) can't get a consistent tune out of their players and teams and it's taken Arteta 4 years at Arsenal and hundreds of millions spent on players to do ...

Re: Premier league title
It would take a brave man or fool to predict with any certainty who will win it. I suspect if Liverpool had won today more would fancy them tonight.

In his very short time on the field last night he did his trademark trickery which tested their goalkeeper, yet he's been absent for most of the time he's been fit this season It's really been difficult to accept as can be witnessed by the many comments throughout the season.

Re: Six Points From Safety... Everton A Must Win?
I'm certain we are good enough to keep the unbeaten run going. I'm less certain we are good enough to provide the killer touch we need to produce in this key game.
Confidence in the officiating is at a low and will always affect our thinking. We really do need that balancing out we always hear about.

Re: Free Kick Or No Free Kick
The simple answer is that it wasn't a foul. The pace of the game is so great you see these given all the time so no special criticism of the ref from me.
I wouldn't be too harsh on the defending of a great free kick delivery.
