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

[Tony1985]

Going to be backs to the wall defending and probably a loss, hoping for a draw. In fact we desperately need a draw, big Mick Kegs with the set piece for a 1-1 finish, lol.
COYB.

Interesting

Has anyone got any way to watch the match tonight?

From behind a sofa

 

[riddick]

Maybe i just missed something but where are Garner and Patterson? Neither even on the bench? And Garner was meant to be out 2 months when he hurt himself during the WC break, that was November ffs

 

[Mozza1987]

Don't get why Maupay is playing

 

[Saint Domingo]

Can’t wait to see Keane jumping with his eyes closed under the ball, bringing it out from the back only to take a fat touch then fall over and give it to the opposition, ballooning it against his CB partner from a yard away during a routine clearance, or maybe it will be the ball down the channel that he misjudges the bounce and goes straight under, or the half hearted leg dangled towards a shot that deflects in, or his classic own goal because he’s too late getting back into position on a cross.

I wonder which of his greatest hits we’re going to see tonight.

I think he’s crap and should absolutely not be leading the line but what he does do is constantly occupy defenders and make a nuisance. Look at Coleman’s goal against Leeds and see him hassle and get the ball off to I think Gana who played it to Iwobi for the assist

Neither shown much for the U23 tbf.

 

[Azza]

This will be horrific.

Cause there's nobody else. Simms has shown he isn't of the quality required either.

 

[Nymzee]

I'm dreading it mate I really am. There's too many players who just aren't very good with the ball at their feet. There's not enough pace. There's just no quality in the key areas.

It'll get to the point where the "expected defeats" need to be "expected wins".

If we go and give it a go tonight and give the travelling away fans something positive to go home with I'll be happy. A performance dished up like the last 2 aways against the rs and West Ham is what I'm fearing

I understand Gray maybe has doubts about his work rate but without him there's zero actual quality.

 

[Paul Rideout]

This will be horrific.

I see you have the same pre match chatter as my mrs at bedtime when I’m feeling frisky

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

If we can keep this at 0-0 in the first half then we would likely see Gray come on for the last 20 mins. Or if we are chasing the game he may come onm a little earlier.
Our primary goal tonight is to keep a clean sheet.

 

[Tony1985]

Just looking at the state of that bench, coupled with our first team, I was born in 85 and I think it’s easily the worst squad in my lifetime.

Patterson picked up another knock apparently
