Match Thread Arsenal v Everton - To Be Re-arranged.

[COYB75]

With our new central defence and midfield we'll be bullying them off the pitch. 0-2 to Everton. Begovic will have time for a nap in this one. COYB

Make Gordon captain

No he has to concentrate on doing his thing, one if the center backs can have it, they both do a lot of talking.

…we can make it difficult for them but we’ll have to ride our luck & it will be lots to do with how long we can keep them out. Terrific if we can Nick the first goal.

Gotta be this for me..

Although I'm thinking Lampard may just go unchanged from the derby and opt for Davies over Gueye..

Arsenal are open for the direct ball over the top counter mate to a fast team. Once they go behind they become more open to it as well as United showed (and that was away - at home they'll push even more)

Atm Arsenal are trying to be City without having the same quality.

Think Coady might be captain for this

….absolutely, as was clearly demonstrated at OT. Fingers crossed we can exploit them in the same way.

Be interesting to see how they get on in Zurich tonight. Arteta is bound to rotate a bit.

That's what I'd have thought too. Has the experience and know how to talk others through the game

Pickford injured?

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Pickford injured?

Yep. Out for 4 weeks apparently

 

[hktoffee]

Begovic

Patterson Coady Tarkowski Mykolenko

Iwobi Gana Onana

Gray Maupay Gordon

 

[Calvin]

Could go 4/4/1/1 if Lampard was trying to be tighter.

Pickford
Pats. Coady. Tarkowski Myko
Gueye
Onana. Davies*. Iwobi
Gordon
Maupay

Put an * beside Davies as could play Garner in there if he’s up to speed or another midfielder.
Lampard will probably go 4/3/3, but it’s good to see that there are now options to change formations depending on circumstances and still put out a strong team.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

If Davies starts I imagine that he'd get the armband.

This is true but Utd were lucky not to be behind first
Think that game would've been very different if Arsenal scored first. They are also much better at home.
Still though, we are not the same team we were and will cause a few problems
