That's a bit better! Dan James gets a shot after a beautiful long pass from Stach. Shot was deflected...

I think we should start playing time. A 0-0 draw will do.

Just kidding. Im hoping to be 2 up by half time. But I'd be OK with 1 up.

Day and night from Everton. Not taking anything from Arsenal but we aren't doing ourselves any favors at the moment.

Look at the speed of a quality press, our players have zero time to think let alone make the right pass.
