God damn that was a fun game. Thought the subs should have happened earlier but can’t complain about the result.

Fun game, especially given the result. Should have cruised to a 3-1 win. Saka and Havertz missed sitters.

Still give up way too many goals to counters. Dominated the game; but it came down to the death. United are dangerous on the counter, but offer nothing else.

All in all, well deserved result, but it was in the balance until the end. Arsenal need to capitalize on their play, or else a title chase will pass is by quickly.

2.5 to 0.9 xg, SCH will be here to tell us stats don’t matter.

Taylor wanted so bad for United to get a result, glad it backfired on that fraud.

I hated I didn’t get any analysis or interviews after the game since they cut Goal Zone on my cable.

We don’t seem to be able to buy a goal until we are down which I don’t get, and we suck at corners and counters are killing us. That said going from being really pissed off and disappointed to elated in 5 minutes is always nice and it’s 3 points and plus two on GD so in the end the results were great. Now if my Tigers can pull it out tonight

I'll say it, this is Sakas worst form in his career. That said, still has 2 goals and I think 1 assist in 4 games

Partey injury a blessing in disguise. Big Gabi back in defense due to it and White at RB meaning the holy triangle of Saka, Odegaard, and White is all the way back.

I expect us to beat some peoples asses after the international break.

Really not a better time to get an injury than right now. Does Viera play exactly where Havertz has been playing?

If so it's clearly time for that switch to be made. We are so much better with Viera in and Havertz on the bench it's kinda crazy.

So sick of Parteys injuries.

Bench him and let Rice run the lone pivot. Worked amazingly last game

Timber getting hurt sucks big time for our defensive depth.

At least it doesn't sound like Partey will be out too long

I remember seeing a lot of hype for this kid a year or so ago. Not much lately though.

Nicolas Pépé to Trabzonspor. Looks like his contract will just be terminated.

Nicolas Pépé
Thanks Raul.
Kinda feel bad for Pepe because he was judged on his inflated fee. He doesn’t fit the system and he needed to go but still scored 27 goals and had 21 assists in 3 seasons.

Still better production than Sancho and Antony without being a shite heel

Yeah I think Emery got a raw deal there, he wanted Zaha. But I’m happy with how things are. Both in turkey now.

For this season I’m just worried about our defense. We just have to hope for no injuries. Idk, prob should have kept tierney. Nothing has shown me a Tomi or a zeni can last an entire season either.

Basically we spent a shite load and I feel like we only helped the partey situation. That’s it. Maybe Kai comes good, or one of the other guys steps up in that position. But I feel like we are short players again.

Bought cover for Zinchenko, sadly got injured for the season the 1st match. Rotten luck.

Needed striker depth, and another center mid. So need to hope Nketiah continues to improve, and need to hope Havertz shows a pulse.

Gabriel came off injured for Brazil last night and was icing his thigh. Hopefully just a knock .

Interesting that Timber made the 25 man PL squad

Massive game this weekend. Need to keep pace with City and we haven't won at Everton since 17/18 season.

Time to exercise some demons!

Ramsdale benched. I figured it was coming after the international break
