Exactly, too sentimental to Championship players. This should be the last of Rodon, James, Gruev and Piroe starting.

These top teams starting 11 and the bench are all match winning players. We're nowhere near that level.

Just gotta suck it up and learn from it Leon

If they didn't already know they're in the Prem, they do now.
I agree. No harm in getting a battering from the best early on.

I know he misplaced a pass for their second, but is Gruev the only one who can tackle?
I’ve counted five inc blocks.

We were taking the piss out of West Ham yesterday but this is a lot worse than their performance...
I made the point that all Arsenal's signings were over 50 million. How many of those do you think we can make? Maybe 1. And that will make no difference at all. Adding depth and spreading the money is the only way we're going to establish ourselves. And we'll beat worse teams than Arsenal this season

Only Liverpool should be as tough as this.

Gotta learn from this experience.
Hope so, James, as this performance is nothing short of dreadful.

Well that's an insult. Bringing on a 15 year old against us. That's just rude

Doing it cheap? Haven't we spent £100m? Farke is picking his favourites rather than the best team. 8 starters from the Championship says it all.

And one of those was Perri who's looked very poor so far....

Stach for sure, maybe Bijol, Okafor should be.

Here comes Okafor with Aaronson

We've evened it up by bringing on Aaronson

Good grief. At this rate we may see Farke putting on the No 9 shirt and putting himself on

Aaronson first touch is a wayward pass, the trend continues.

I just caught most of the first half on the mobile, but thought we were doing ok.

Bear in mind Arse will be challenging for the title and the UCl. So this is as hard as it can be for a newly promoted team.

So, the front three who struggled to make an impact on the Everton defence are off.
