Arsenal’s manager, Arsene Wenger has gone on to show his frustration over the way http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darron-Gibson-c10368 deserved
to see red in the game, but feels that the referee was far too lenient in the game towards the toffees.
Gibson went on to make a very cynical tackle on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Theo-Walcott-c34873, and with him already being on a yellow, it seemed like he was bound to see a red card. However, the referee didn’t go ahead and show him any card, which is something that the Gunners boss has
gone on to question.
Wenger seems to also be disappointed with the result, simply because of the fact that it doesn’t help his team to secure a spot in the top four, since a win was something that they were desperately looking to get out of the game.
"We should have won the game," said Wenger.
"It keeps us in a strong position in the race for top four.”
"The game was intense physically but I felt in the first half the ref didn't deal well with the intimidating challenges. We responded well and we had a fantastic commitment.”
"Their tactics were detrimental to the fluency of our game. Yes, [Gibson] should have been sent off.”
"I never speak to the ref. You should ask the ref why he wasn't [sent off]. He should have had a yellow card even before the first challenge.”
"You must respect Everton for the fight they put in. They decided to make it physical. Sometimes they went over the edge but it's up to the ref to make the right decisions. Protecting is a big word; it is just up to him to make the right decisions.”
Nonetheless, Arsenal need to learn from this draw and then go on and approach their upcoming games with a lot of intensity. The Gunners can’t afford to drop any more points in any of their upcoming game, which is why they can’t afford to slack off again.
They need to start coping with their opponents and the tactics which they deploy.
It is now going to be up to the team to prove just how badly they want to win their upcoming games, as they look to secure a top four finish once again.
