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

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.

You just know if we won we'd end up losing to Fulham the game after or something. Everton that.

Anyone else think we miss Ross Barkley?

Nope

 

[NewRadical]

Neither side is particularly good defensively at present. I can see us scoring, but can we outscore them? I'll just have to hope that given how average they have looked so far this season we can.

Remember the first half we had here under Martinez in his first season. Absolutely dominated them and it was a far better Arsenal team than we see now. We seem a million miles away from that.

Kanchelskis winner.... Just like the last time we beat them away - 22 years ago....
... Then again can't see anything other than a comfortable 3-1 for them.

*Orders a crate of bleach*

Can see nothing other than a big defeat,but this been Everton i expected us to win the last 2, so lets hope but probably not likely as it hardly ever happens for us that for once we go and get a nice surprise as in win a game that no one expects us to win

Nobody has said "This is a must win game"

So here goes:

This is a must win game lollollol

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Got this funny feeling Silva will go with Baines for this game.

 

[Lob]

Expecting a heavy defeat for us here sadly. We have been woeful the last 2 games and whilst i am optimistic that Silva is the right man for the job and will improve us, i think it is going to take a lot longer than 5 or 6 games. We will probably score with us having Richarlison back but we will probably concede a lot more than we score as our defence and midfield has got more holes in it than a tetley tea bag. Even the worst teams will and do score against us presently.

4 - 2 to Arsenal

Just play the new signings and help them get match fit.
We can live with it.

The match fit Koeman legacy players won't get close to Arsenal.
They couldn't get close to WH.

You can always take the view that our record at Arsenal is as good as WH was at Everton before last weekend!

...we may possibly, potentially click here... but I'm not sure.
It's also possible that we do an 'Everton that'...I'm much more sure about that.

 

[st.domingo]

Playing all our top scorers - seems like a good idea, given how leaky our defence is - means DCL starts with Richarlison-Sigurdsson-Walcott behind, plus Keane in defence if he’s fit.

 

[upthetoffees]

Got this funny feeling Silva will go with Baines for this game.

Aye, perhaps Digne as a sub on the wing like we did a couple weeks ago.

I'm willing to try anything to put an end to this poor start.

 

[Blue Juice]

Guaranteed to concede one if not two so likelihood is we're going to need minimum 2 goals to get anything out of it

Just hope Richarlison can pick up where he left off in carrying the rest of them
