3 Things We Learned From Arsenal vs Everton

Kieran Gibbs has wasted his last chance

Kieran Gibbs

In a game where there were a few positives for both sides to look at, there was one problem for Arsenal which has been the same problem for most of this season, the shockingly bad Kieran Gibbs. The fact that the unreliable Englishman gets the nod over Spanish international Nacho Monreal is laughable, and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will have to answer that question to angry Arsenal fans who just don’t quite understand whether he is trying to commit defensive suicide or whether he actually thinks Gibbs can bring something to the team Monreal cannot. Gibbs struggled to contain an Everton right flank that was full of pace and intent, and took time to get to grips with Coleman’s overlaps. Guilty of switching off, showed little attacking impetus, and failed to close down Deulofeu for the Spaniard’s goal. If Gibbs is not dropped soon, Arsenal will end up losing out on points that could prove costly come the end of the season.
