Moyes is guiding us to safety so it would be wrong to be critical puzzling as it is to see Harrison and Doucoure as regular starters. Hopefully, once mathematically safe, a little more experimentation and ambition will become apparent.

No shame in drawing against Arteta's Arsenal.

May wins be around the corner.

Up The Toffees.

Totally agree. And if I may add Patterson, to make a quintet of undesirables.
Some people may disagree, but I cannot see a Premier League Player in Pattterson.
He just seems out of his depth.
He may prove me wrong and I would like nothing better than that, for the Benefit of the Club. But, in all honesty, I can’t see him being part of the Bigger Picture.. yes !. The one we are all waiting for.. false Dawns aside!

With some getting late season injuries, perhaps Moyes is reluctant to risk crucial players, resulting in rotations rather than combinations of them. Credit is due for improving defensive assignments after lost possessions and preventing Jorginho or Rice from enjoying playmaking space. Given the overall lack of squad speed, they were unexpectedly good at frustrating Arsenal.

We still waste too many good advances with a lack of intelligent runs and decision making that would indicate high football IQ and productive partnerships. That may be harsh given the recent turnaround but it is still frustrating to watch.

Overall, I am satisfied with a point from a losing position against the 2nd placed team. UTFT!

Horrific call on the pen, but we'll take it. Honestly, that's a really soft pen and if that went against us I'd be apoplectic.

I looked that the schedule. Since Moyes took over we've played 13 games, won 4, lost 2, drew 7. If my very fast math works, I do stand to be corrected.

That's 18 points in 13 games, which trends to 53 points over a season.

We are so much better off right now than were we've been in a long, long time. I think the core of this squad is actually pretty solid. To proclaim the broken record battle cry of the soccer ages: we need a striker.

Do that, make some small improvements, and I think we'll find ourselves much higher up the table next season than many of us could imagine a mere few weeks ago.
