Does anyone know if Emile Smith Rowe is injured, or is Arteta giving him a rest?

He was reported to be assessed before the game with a tight groin, so I assume he's injured seeing he's not on the bench.

Thanks Haz

Any links please? No Socrates tonight?

16 minutes in and a very poor game so far.

Partey shot. A bit less than 4/10.

Saka looks in trouble here

We haven’t got the players to move the ball quick enough. Everything is telegraphed it’s so easy to defend against. We need a few skilful midgets

Shocking game so far

Gabriel careless there. Luckily sorted out.

No red card oh *%^@ off

Another Mike Dean / VAR classic.

Quite unbelievable.

Godfrey knows what he is doing. Idiot!

*%^@*** unbelievable. So it's ok by Dean to rake your studs deliberately in an opponent's face.

Just *%^@ off that is an absolute disgrace. Absolutely totally absurd.

He’s all like “whoops” but never looks at tomiyasu. If I accidentally step in someone’s face I’m going to naturally make eye contact to see if they’re ok. I think that’s deliberate and he’s gone in on Tomiyasu already which is why he’s done it. That a red. Dark red at that. *%^@

He should have got yellow for the one on saka.

I can’t believe that

At least VAR spotted it, Dean deserves another suspension in fact he's not fit for purpose and should be put out to pasture and out of our misery.

.
Everton planning a walk out protest against mismanagement so Arsenal are bound to hand them a moral boosting 1 - 0 win .... it's our way .

I’ll say it again, who was the last opponent to get a straight red for serious foul play against us? It is a joke

Isn’t his boss Mike Riley? Enough said.

I think that one is on VAR, not Dean. He never looked at it, did he? Must've gotten clear word from the VAR room that it was nothing.

This is a poor performance so far. Totally toothless.

What is amazing is that Stuart Atwell as VAR called it. It’s quite unusual now for a referee not to overturn his original decision.

Oh. Is that what happened. Even more remarkable then. Two duff decisions.

That’s a foul, *%^@ off with that too

Partly putting in a 4/10 performance so far. Caught in e ball far too often.

We’re slow and passing backwards and sideways. Second to virtually every 2nd ball.

This is all the worst things about us on display today

If any ref is going to be completely arrogant enough to disregard the opinion of the var ref then it’s Mike Dean

So very true.

So far Godfrey has cut Saka down twice and stamped his boot in Tomiyasu’s face. It happens far too often against us that players are allowed to continually foul, dangerously with no punishment

Lacazette barely had a kick.

Some stinking performances here.

Duh!

Or not….

As it turns out.

Why did Ødegaard turn and pass that back????????????
He had lots of space to run onto. And Saka was already running forward.

Everton are literally allowed to kick saka as much as they like

Big reprieve with the offside to disallow that goal. We need to wake the hell up. I knew that free kick was going to lead to a problem for us

With every passing game it looks more and more like our string of good performances earlier in the fall was a blip rather than us finding a new level. Very depressing

We got lucky with that disallowed goal. Bang average performance so far, although we should at least be playing with an extra man.

Ødegaard!! That came out of absolutely nowhere

Unbelievable. Who would have seen that coming?

Ødegaard!!!

Nice work by Tierney too.

This is bloody awful.
Everton are on their second longest run without a defeat in their prem history, their fans planned a walk out and we turn up to give total encouragement to any team no matter how awful or low on confidence they are

Ødegaard!!!
