Match Thread Arsenal 0-0 Everton, Sat 14th December, 3pm

[Frenk]

Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford: "It's about how we apply ourselves - stick to the game plan and suffer. We suffered a lot without the ball. We dug a point out.

We're all suffering when Everton play Jordan. All of us.

Still, points a point.

I get the feeling he doesn’t enjoy Dycheball either.

Worked hard for that result and deserved it as well, the whinging from Arsenal will be off the map. Bring it on Mikel.

Reminded me of how Arsenal played against City.

The only difference is that Doucoure didn't take the guilt edged chance.

We suck the enjoyment out of football, but a point there is decent, both fullbacks and goalie had excellent games

Young did well, but thought Myko struggled. He tried, but he struggled.

A draw would be most fitting today.

Put in a shift for Kev.

A point a piece, big Kevin Campbell approves of this.

As I said! Kev will be smiling up there tonight.

In a strange way, that Ipswich goal and Wolves losing feels ok for me.

A draw is always preferable. But we need to effectively match Leicester and Ipswich over 23 games to their 22. And it's a nice cushion now to wolves of 6 points, goal difference and a game.

Long way to go but we're in a better position than 10 days ago.

A very welcome point

I get that. Wolves are fluffing their lines in their winnable run of games.

Don't think so Saka didn't get much out of him, thought he was a whole lot better to day than the previous matches

It's horrible. You don't have to leave yourselves open to do better in the situations where you have the ball in their half, which is a situation we do end up in often. But we just run into their players or give it away. Or cross it out of play or to the keeper..

As nobody in our fanbase, team or the opposition team have any expectation of us scoring a goal what's the point in even watching?

 

[Toffeeforme]

Play that style away at Arsenal good.
Play that style at home to Forrest poor.

 

[Professor Toffee]

I got the football match outcome wrong, anyway...

How's your anus?

 

[Ged G]

The miracle of Christmas will be getting anything out of this game, even a narrow defeat could be seen as a bonus for the goal difference!

Miracles happen it seems

I get that. Wolves are fluffing their lines in their winnable run of games.

Yes, my gut feeling is Wolves will probably eek out more points than Ipswich, who I imagine run out of steam.

Wolves run they are going into looks woeful. They could be buried by March. After next week, there doesn't look a game you fancy them to win.

 

[Ged G]

We're gonna get demolished and it's gonna be humiliating. I think we lose by at least three but probably more goals.

Nope

We've been conditioned to celebrate draws like they're wins.
