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

Schneiderlin was very good yesterday I thought and has been recently. Not his biggest fan but he has to start.

Rather put Holgate there.

Rather put Holgate there.

I agree. But I think we need his pace in defence against lacazette and aubameyang.

A long rest till our next game, a little break for the players then slap bang right into the mix, with a run of games that sees us take in all the old money top 6, up first its Mikels boys and Arsenal.

A tough place for us to visit over the years, something I am likely to say for the next few weeks, but as somebody else said, we might be able to replace Everton that with Carlo that, man gotta dream! No doubt it wont be easy, but in football, everything is possible.

Much to everybody's chagrin Carlo does enjoy a lovely little bit of rotation, whether hes giving everybody every chance to impress or this is just the way he do, time will tell, but he certainly likes to mix it up and who are we to question such a man? With that in mind :

Pickford
Coleman - Mina - Holgate - Digne
Bernard - Gomes - Delph - Iwobi
DCL - Rico
​

Gomes, providing he comes through his run out is likely to come off the bench I would imagine, I just really want to start naming him in sides! No news regarding Walcott yet, but given his very fine recent form I suspect he will come in if fit.

COYB

Bernard on the right
Never going to happen
Bernard away from home ..........doubtful
Gomes starting .........doubtful


Pickford
Coleman
Mina
Holgate
Digne

Walcott
Morgan
Siggy ( Gomes after 60 )
Iwobi

DCL
Ricarlison

Could be bad or good, they lose their games and in a crisis or 2 games to improve

Sack Arteta before our game and get a new manager bounce against us
Everton that

Same side as yesterday except for Holgate back in for Keane.

 

[Brisan123]

I was there

The fact that your mother was pregnant with you at the time and your father brought her to the match does not count as you being there lol

 

[Hickson9]

Same side as yesterday except for Holgate back in for Keane.

I suspect he will bring Iwobi back in for Bernard as well, at a minimum.

Hard to see us getting any points, Arsenal away is, historically, a somewhat barren venture for us. Happy with a point but ...

We’re playing better than them currently

 

[Furey1878]

If ever there was a chance to go there and beat them it's this season, suspect a 1-1 draw though.

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Dominated first half there last season, but couldn’t convert a chance, Lacsz hit a golazo, and we folded. We’ve got a better attack now, their CBs are poor, and this is one team whose midfield might even be worse than ours. Carlo doesn’t let us fold this time. Smash and grab, 3 points.

 

[Furey1878]

If Richarlison really fancies this then I reckon we'll win.

 

[Gilbert..]

If we go there and perform they really are for the taking. Not easy but theres a win here.

 

[Chewbacca]

Arsenal 1-2 Everton

DCL and Richarlison

 

[Blue Sky]

Arsenal 1-2 Everton

DCL and Richarlison
