Everton embarrassed themselves with a pathetic performance to lose at home, again, this time to Arsenal who everyone has been beating lately.
The blues were so bad even The Delusional One was forced to accept it and failed to use the word phenomenal once in his post match comments, such was his distress at the ‘effort’. Speaking to the official site after the game:
“We have never performed in this manner. The disappointment of today is that we were second best. I thought Arsenal had a bigger bite and more intensity. We looked like the team who`d had an extra game so it was so disappointing in contrast to the performance seven days ago.”
“We had a big player missing, Gareth Barry is someone that gives you something extra but that is not an excuse.”
“We never got a platform in the game and we were ineffective with the things we were usually good at. Arsenal were better than us in every aspect of the performance.”
Arsenal lacked form and fitness throughout the game but will never face an easier match in the Premier League, there is no convenient excuse of the Europa League this season for why Martinez is getting away with a mid table finish with the players at his disposal, but he will.
