Arsenal 5-1 Everton: 5 Talking Points 

#4 Everton's defensive nightmare continues

Everton's poor defensive effort did them no favours

Sam Allardyce's side was ripped apart and undone so emphatically last night, that it makes you wonder how they were holding together in the first place. Taking nothing away from Arsenal, their attack was exquisite, but Everton's defence didn't quite help their cause.

Ashley Williams, Micheal Keane and Eliaquim Mangala looked as clueless as three fourth-graders being handed a 10th-grade question paper. The trio had absolutely no answers to Arsenal's fiery style, and fell apart in no time, conceding 4 before half-time.

This isn't a new story, though. While Everton may find themselves sitting on the edge of the top-half of the table, they've already conceded an astonishing total of 45 goals this season. For perspective, only 3 teams in the league have conceded more, of which 2 currently warm the relegation zone.

Now, considering the fact that the Toffees have splashed a whopping total north of £300 million on transfers in the last 3 seasons, their defence simply cannot afford to leak as many goals as they currently do.

Sam Allardyce will desperately need to plug the holes in this Everton side at the soonest, or else it's only a matter of time before the team begins to resemble the Titanic... It too was expensive, widely spoken about, and expected to sail far and wide. We're all familiar with how that ended, yes?
