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

[billyblue80]

We are playing 541 and arsenal have had 17 shots on goal in 45 mins

The mind boggles with this side

No pressure on the midfield may as well go 433 second half

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Hopefully Arsenal find out the Spurs score at half time and the players bin it off.

We were tumbling down to the bottom though, just look at the results prior to that. If anything he steadied the ship. If Benitez were still here we’d be relegated.

I don't want to get into this now but I don't think it was going the way you were suggesting at all and if it was then it wasn't down to the ability of the previous manager but just because of the negativity towards him.

I'm not getting on the managers back yet. But he's hardly done anything. He basically got all the players back from injury, made 3 signings and kept us in the position we were already in when he took over.

We look crap against Arsenal here who also are playing for nothing as spurs were already 2 nil up at the time we conceded first and they knew that. I'm struggling to see how lampard turns this around next season because it's the worst Everton side I've seen for years and he's going to want to play us in a less effective style for sure

Very generous mate

And its longer than 27 years for you, cos we got utterly battered by United in that 95 Cup Final.

I remember on my way home how bad I felt with how badly we played.

LOL

But we also played really well on the way there.

Do you think they win the cup getting battered every week? That's the problem right now.

Yeah occasionally it works anyway because football is dumb.

Over dramatic here, after the euphoria of Thursday night the players will have flights booked to their holidays and will be wearing sombreros in an hour's time.
I don't know what style we will be playing next year and neither do you.

DCL looking a class above* this half.

Added: *the rest of his team mates

 

[Rook]

not saying Davies is the answer but we should have never picked Gomes ahead of him for any of the matches Gomes was in

 

[Mashtray]

Awkward when DVB scored and the commentators had to go with their unscripted material

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

Hilarious commentary on my stream. Hinchcliffe doing his usual anti-EFC negative stuff, and the actual commentator coming up with gems like "Gray scored in extra time" without letting us in on the secret about who he scored for or against or when. Anyway DCL looks like he's got his mojo back and Dele looks like he's up for murdering Xaka at some stage. Great stuff.

Seriously, it was. I saw a team that had no fight.

 

[ChesterBlue]

Honestly, that’s not entirely implausible, this Arsenal team have a shocking mentality

Lovely stuff.

He seemed annoyed at being subbed but NBC comms said he had an ice pack on so not sure

I didn't think ke looked annoyed. I'm guessing an injury sub.
