Why can't we play the Toffees every week? The Gunners were well rested, not having played any football since their League Cup semifinal second leg win over Chelsea. (I sure didn't see us play any football at Swansea.) And Everton were just the team to show us that as bad defensively as we have been, they were worse. The first minute featured Mustafi almost coughing up a breakaway, but it did not take long for Arsenal to cut Everton to ribbons. Three nice team goals in the first 19 minutes, and then a blatantly offside Obameyang dinks it over Pickford for 4-0. The second half was eerily like the Palace game, in which we sat on a 4-0 lead and managed to blow Cech's shot at his 200th clean sheet. The highlight was Ramsey completing his hat trick for 5-1.
What's wrong with Kolasinac? He was a beast early in the season. Now he's a liability. Mustafi seems to get worse every time I see him. And Xhaka still pisses me off, but I'll give him a pass this game for his winner against Chelsea.
Okay, NLD next weekend. I choose to be optimistic.
