Match Thread Everton v Arsenal - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Leylo]

Spot on. I just hope the board stay away. That would be the best thing for the club. The crowd dont need any distraction from just supporting the team and watching a footy match. If they turn up they will change the atmosphere from positive to negative.

It's the only way it's on us now

Think we will go 442 tomorrow;

will definitely be without Andros Townsend and Nathan Patterson, James Garner is still nursing a back problem too.

Michael Keane and Ben Godfrey are edging closer to returns from knee injuries but also remain out. So starting lineup;

———————— Pickford.——————
- —————Coady. ——— Tarkowski.———
Coleman.—————————— Mykolenko.
—————— Gana. ——Onana.—————-
Iwobi.—————————————- Gray.—
——— Calvert Lewin.—- Maupay—————

Think we will be very compact. Long ball up go DCL and try to get Maupay, Iwobi and Gray close to him to get the knock downs and flick ons.

I haven't looked forward to a game for ages but I'm really excited

The problem is we arent in a position where we can accept defeats anymore. We need something from the next 2 games, for morale and so we arent cut adrift. Unfortunately we could well and easily lose both due to our lack of top flight quality

We need 4pts from the next 2 games but even Dyche wouldn't be able to hold a straight face whilst saying he believes its achievable.
Arsenal and Liverpool as your first 2 games While your trying to build belief into the squad...
We really do help ourselves don't we..

Playing Kashmir on Spotify in the excitement of the build-up.

I went to the friendly against Arsenal and the most noticeable thing was how much higher a tempo they could hold than us. If they find that we're done. So I imagine it'll be a full on shithousing display.

Best team in league vs worst team in league. There’s only one winner here. 2-1 to Burnley.

 

[GoldenToffee]

The most Expected of Expected Defeats this. Might get quite ugly quite early. Imagining 3-0 to them by half time.

 

[ParkhallToffee]

I think we're playing this season's champions tomorrow so don't expect anything from it, but the performance is important.

Put on a good showing and that can be carried forward against the Sh'te, a much poorer side than Arsenal and one we can take a point off, then the season really begins.

We might win the following statistics:

• Number of goal kicks
• Number of yellow cards received
• Number of fans booing the team

Everton have often played better against sides at the top end for quite a while and that's what I'm hoping for, together with
some new manager bounce.

I've just read the last ten pages and I don't understand the fear about next week. Have you not noticed what's been happening
there this season?

 

[Luffto]

I don't know why I'm excited by this match. Assume it's because we haven't played for a while and the new manager bounce expectation.

 

[cronullasharks]

Interested to see how our new signings get on.

I don't know why I'm excited by this match. Assume it's because we haven't played for a while and the new manager bounce expectation.

Hope that doesn't get wasted early on a 3 or 4 nil horror show
