• The choice of McNeil as as opposed to Dibling, makes little or no sense, he did absolutely nothing to improve play whatsoever, in fact I have been disappointed with most of his lacklustre displays when used. I am not anti-Moyes but some of his stubborn selection decisions leave a lot to be questioned....

• Prior to O'Brien's brain fart, (or some other 'Everton That' thing happening) I could see us getting a draw and if we really got the breaks - a 1-0 win The replacements for the missing and Injured didn't set the world on fire Allan @ 45; Well said, but Moyes is not the Manager who can properly handle a squad of 18 to 20 players, any of which who could lay claim to being genuine 1st 11 quality. So which do we fix first, getting 18 genuine 1st 11 starters or a Manager who can get a tune out of them? It's a bit of a cliche but the less choice he has, the less opportunities he has to dither and second guess himself. Any sort of draw or win and...from a personal satisfaction point of view he would've gone home to his tea thinking, how good was that - it doesn't get any better. ...

• It's about a nailed on Nil as you are likely to see, Arsenal could have brought their 7th choice keeper and he wouldn't have been troubled. We huffed and puffed but we were never going to blow Arsenal's house down. Plenty of heroic 50/50 balls won in unimportant areas and some throw-ins that we fought hard for, but Arsenal have about 6 players that are happy to attack the penalty area when given the chance, we have 2 and they aren't available. They can all pass when under pressure, we can't, I bet MOTD looked very one sided as they had about 5 or 6 chances to our none. Lastly, could someone have a word with Tarkowski. If he has to do one of his trademark bullet headers when the ball is hoofed up to him in acres of space, could he, just for once, send it roughly in the direction of an Everton player....

• Oh what a very Moyes shit show. Apologies, but I have spent so much time and money following Everton over the years and a lot of it has been watching DM hoodwink fans. Today I watched a team that was set up to not win, I don't remember us having a shot in the first half. We have a manager that knows a lot of the fan base will back him, knows he won't get us relegated and knows he is just protecting himself. His head is so far up his own arse the only thing that ever comes out of his mouth is shite. Now people will talk about a depleted squad, but ffs that doesn't mean you don't owe it to the fans to give it a go. Mcneil v Dibling - there should have only been 1 winner in that but of course the youthist won't pick a younger player. And yes we are missing players but I guarantee that Portsmouth will give it a go when they play Arsenal in the FA Cup and their squad is literally awful. Moyes will win a couple, lose a couple, win a couple, lose a couple and we'll be safe. ...

• Let's have it right, we never laid a glove on them tonight. I don't think we had a shot on target all game. The lack of creativity is worrying, yes we lost nearly an entire midfield, but we're forever being told it's a squad game, not for us, mcneil is definitely not a replacement for Ndiaye and never will be, totally anonymous every set piece rammed down the keepers throat. The only 2 players for me who came out the game with any credit were Irregbounam and Mykolenko. As for the forwards words fail me, yes the service was poor but the pair of them are atrocious. Goodnight all and happy Xmas....

• Get Grealish off the left touchline and get him involved in the middle. Dwight on the right? Ridiculous, he can barely use his right peg, should have been on the left. Was obvious to a few I spoke to before the match. Barry is soft and just doesn't get there quick enough. Praying for a load of decent business on Jan 1st. And the exodus of blues from the 75th minute was just embarrassing. ...
