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

Agree from an injury perspective but not a performance one. Has to be played when fit for me.

How much effort is Mina gonna put in mate? He's a free agent in the summer, he'll be wanting to keep himself fit between now and then to get a good offer. Another injury puts potential suitors off.

I'm certain that's playing a role in Dyche not playing him.

If there's one thing I'll say about Keane is that he'll provide more of a threat from set pieces than Coady. Him and Tarkowski together might actually be able to ask some questions tonight should the opportunities arise..

I think you`ll be surprised, Coady has been dreadful lately and Keane used to be good for us. Dangerous in both boxes, when was the last time you saw Coady win a header from a corner? Its all Tarkowski, another threat with Keane who used to score regularly from set pieces.

Defo would have dropped Coady myself for mina or Keane, just got to trust Dyche with the decision he has made.....

Except for Mau-F`in-Pay..... WTF (Hope he has a good game to shut me up)

I had a feeling that Dyche would just keep selecting Coady so I’m pleasantly surprised he has dropped him. Mina is the better player but can’t string a run of minutes never mind games.

5 defenders on the bench and Michael Keane starts. We are the most relegated team that was ever relegated

*4

But true, the poor kids.

Also Maupay again on his own ffs

It's just too rigid for me, same players, same set up, same bench, 1 minor change.

I don't see where any goals are coming from. I just think there'd be no harm putting Mills or Price on the bench or going 442.

 

[nsno_traditionally]

Keane up front surely?

 

[roy vernon]

Wife and I found out this morning that we are having a baby boy. Let’s hope we can top the night off with a massive 3 points. COYB!

Congratulations mate, enjoy every minute of it, it passes by so quickly.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Keane in for the goal threat
Unfortunately that threat is at both ends

 

[ForeverEverton]

Pleased to see Keane come in for Coady.

Hope he gives a good account of himself.

Exactly this, Keane suffered alot from our slump like every other player. I do feel he gets singled out for abuse though... I think Dyche can get the best out of him, I certainly think if he can find form he would be a better option than Coady.

Mina I think is on his way out, cant be trusted with fitness.....

 

[windymiller]

Maupay, lol. Everton nil then, I assume.

 

[Leylo]

People saying mina in ... what for 10 minutes he's not reliable

 

[Marius57]

Thought we had seen the last of Keane. 4 sub CBs and he is the first choice out of them. Doesn’t say much for the others.

Hope he proves me wrong but him and Coleman were abysmal playing in a defence together last season.

Maybe it's a "we beat them like this, go do it again"

Forgetting we're awful away.

 

[Davideeyore]

Come on Burnley Everton

Dyche had Keane so well rated that when we paid £30m or whatever we did fans were over the moon.

He's a better defender than what I've seen of Coady - he needs a lead centre half next to him though.

Forget Mina - waste of time. He's already on his way out the door.
