    Phil Jones is lucky there. Didn't think that was much of a foul.

      Agreed. Just as I was typing this Valencia shoved the back of Alonso with far more force as he released a pass. If that was a "shove" or foul, that whistle should be non-stop today.

        This may be the year Everton gets relegated.

          What a turnaround! Down 0-2 to go 3-2 in front. 12 minutes of extra time!

                Wenger called Sterling a diver...I mean I'm biased but I thought it was a penalty.

                    Fun match. Biggest difference? Chelsea had a creative mid in Fabregas who could open the defence and link with Hazard. We didn't have one. Mkhitaryan badly needs Pogba or Carrick to have an influence on the match and he's been out of form for a while now.

                    A more pragmatic approach probably would've been better for us results-wise. Can't have too much of an attacking mindset when your most creative midfielders aren't out there playing.

                        TBH, 1-0 was flattering to United. Bakayoko missed a few good opportunities, as did Morata, Hazard, and AC.

                        Leon,

                        If you need a 36yr old Carrick to unlock your offense than I don’t know what to say.

                          Yeah, I just don't get this or even the "well, once we have Pogba back" excuses (because that's what they are, right?).

                            Why blame himself for his team selection, and continued reliance on players which have shown they should be dropped when he can instead vilify a young opposition player?

                              He was definitely offside, but honestly that was embarrassing. Like 5 Arsenal players COMPLETELY STOPPED inside the box with theithe hands up.

                              What if he wasn’t offside? What if it was a legitimate close call, he was onside, and the linesman got it right? Then you still have 5 players in the box who think it’s offside, standing there waiting for the call.

                              Also, how does Wenger start Iwobi over Lacazette?

                                This is all that matters.
