Match Thread Arsenal v Everton KO Sun 23 Sep 2018 4pm

[Charles Hawtrey]

That said - this is Arsenal not Man City

 

[Brisan123]

We have drew 3 of our six games.

Only played 5 in the league
I assume you are counting the cup game

 

[Jamalio Danubio DiCanio]

Got to keep faith with the current style of play. Things will get better eventually. Might tweak things a bit and have another midfielder play. Richarlison will definitely play and Walcott for his pace on the break. Maybe Calvert Lewin to hold up the ball, with Walcott and Richardson either side and Sigurdsson sitting a little deeper to make a proper 3 in midfield.

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

I will be very surprised if we don't respond from the West Ham debacle. We may not win, but I believe we will watch an Everton side we can be proud of and gives us hope as we move forward.

Bernard to come on for DCL with one of Walcott or Richarlison to play centrally.

If we score 2 I'll be happy. When we've got Keane back I'll start worrying about defensive performance.

 

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

Anyone else think we miss Ross Barkley?

I'd play Bernard from the start. I don't know if Mina will start.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Anyone else think we miss Ross Barkley?

As a player yes.

As a person definitely not.

Time to get over him. He didn't want to play for Everton. We've lost far better players than him.

 

[dholliday]

We'll play a plucky draw and it'll get our hopes up until the next time we lose at home to relegation-battlers.

The cycle continues.

 

[Sona]

I'd play Bernard from the start. I don't know if Mina will start.

Where would you play Bernard though mate? I fancy Walcott against his old club plus Richarlison has been our best player this season so far playing wide left, so I’d be loathe to move him into the middle from the off just yet.

 

[bol-uk]

Pickford
Kenny Keane Mina Digne
Gueye and ??
walcott Bernard Ricco
Tosun

It is imperative we keep ricco on the left with Digne, he tracks back very well and they could be our new "Bainaar" imo.

Also, Tosun played better with Ricco and needs to be given another chance upfront on his own.

 

[Toffeelover]

The way our lot are going on this looks like a hiding.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

As much as this is likely to be a drubbing, there's a part of me that also thinks we may potentially click here. Would be very unlike us like.

 

[billybadger]

I can only see an away win with our keep a clean sheet at all costs mentality and a super show from the outstanding referee in Jonathan Moss
