I think that this is the type of game to give Pépé a run on this wet surface

Godfrey again. He should have been sent off twice

So Dean didn't forget to bring his yellow card today

Godfrey gets the most deserved card in the entire history of football.

That’s a red and 2 yellows Godfrey has had so far but only 1 yellow to his name

Bring him on to stop Saka getting kicked off the pitch

I think it’s worth putting him up against Godfrey. One more bad challenge.

Looks like more of the same in the second half

Edit: phew

Brilliant. VAR absolutely stuffing them.

Got away with one again

That’s offside. The 18 yard box line is doing the var line for you! Richarlison is past the line and the arsenal defender isn’t

..and everyone

Second goal please Arsenal, asap.

Time to freshen it up Mikel.

Martinelli should have passed to Lacazette

Oh yes. That’s the Xhaka that we are familiar with. Slow followed by a clumsy foul.

The irony being that Var has only stuffed one team tonight, both Everton goals were correctly ruled off

If Pépé can't be trusted to play 30 minutes in a game where our attacking players aren't doing anything to threaten then surely we should just try to sell him in January

It is stuffing Everton, in the sense that without it they would have had two goals.

Spatially accurate yes, but hugely frustrating for them I would think.

This would be a big 3 points if we can hang on

Still losing too many second balls and hopeful punts. Mike Dean will do his best here to ramp up the pressure

I don’t get the substitutions sometimes I really don’t

Goal please Eddie.

We’re going to get 6 plus minutes added on here for sure

Is anybody actually enjoying this game?

Are we trying to get Nketiah to sign a new contract? Seems like it shouldn't be a priority here...

That touch in such a tight area and to win the free kick was brilliant from Saka

Lokonga or AMN for Xhaka?
Xhaka will tire fast. And can get a second Yellow for fouling.

Of course an Arsenal player will be booked for the slightest hint on time wasting. We have to wait until the 90th minute for opponents usually

Another card not given, that's as nailed on as it gets

So you have nketiah on the left wing instead of Pépé.

We’ve seen reds for that as well. Not even a foul. It’s late over the top of the ball and on the shin. Awful

Not me

Well we deserved that. And you could see it coming.

We were playing scared and paid for it.

Tavares with a terrible throw

So poor. Messed up a simple throw and then we’re wide open in central midfield. We don’t deserve to be winning though

We need a leader. Need some leading.

Of course we don’t deserve to win but let’s remember once again Everton should be down to 10 for that Godfrey stamp to the face. Then that one by Gordon has been a red before.

We can be awful AND get screwed by the ref
