Everton didn't have to step up at all today, just stay tight and pressure us into our usual fuck ups.

Im not down because we got beat, im down because the opposition didn't have to break a sweat to win that game today and that is not acceptable.

Definitely seemed to be a collective dropping of heads when the 2nd went in including on the bench. Like you say, that is not acceptable.

Don't worry we'll roll over for you next time we play or Wenger will make sure you walk away with the points.

You're deluded if you think teams don't fancy it against us and see us as a more beatable scalp than the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs etc.

Yep they know work your bollocks of defend like fuck and you will get 1 chance and it be a goal, so there is the encouragement for other teams from the start! Dont like going back to Mancini but he changed the attitude of our players and fans! That performance against the scum where we had to win was everything Mancini was to us.

Exactly. I'm sure when the likes of Leicester face Chelsea they still go in to the game fired up, but do they actually believe they will get a result?Yep they know work your bollocks of defend like fuck and you will get 1 chance and it be a goal, so there is the encouragement for other teams from the start! Dont like going back to Mancini but he changed the attitude of our players and fans! That performance against the scum where we had to win was everything Mancini was to us.
Teams go in equally fired up against us and because we frequently go a goal down or have a really hairy moment or two at the back the opposition gain more and more confidence from it and that in itself gives them the encouragement to keep up the intensity.
Wheras when they play Chelsea, Spurs etc, they'll invariably go a goal down and the intensity drops because the momentum has been taken away.
It's plain to see, I can't believe people are denying it's happening. It's nowhere near as simple as saying 'we're not trying' or 'we're lazy'.

The fear factor created by Mancini obviously more so at home has well and truly been shattered to pieces,remember teams lining up in tunnel you could see the fear in some of them knowing going out onto the pitch they could well be on the end of a battering..
Imagine our plight if they had stepped up.Everton didn't have to step up at all today, just stay tight and pressure us into our usual fuck ups.

This "teams upping their game " is all bollocks, if we match the passion, fight and effort of any team in this league we will usually come out on top.
We have a soft underbelly and teams know this, we think we can just rely on some brilliance to win a game and we can't.
