Cant see Carlo moving him there mate

Unfortunately I think this could be a shocker....no matter what Arteta says he will not want to lose tomorrow. 0 - 0.

I expect this also.

Olsen
Coleman - Mina - Keane - Godfrey

Iwobi - Holgate - Doucoure

DCL - Richarlison

 

[Sharpies volley]

Never optimistic in these games, but at this present moment in time, at home, we should be beating these.

 

[Frenk]

Anthony Gordon time me thinks. Or our Tom lad.

 

[The Legend of Southall]

We're currently in good form, finally defending with purpose. Our attacking threat still looms large. Arsenal have been leaking goals, not scoring, and where camped in their own half against Southampton. They also seem to be getting a lot of red cards at the moment.

So 3-0 to Arsenal with Doucoure sent off

 

[Caolam]

Can’t see anything other than a home win but then again I couldn’t see anything other than an away win against Chelsea. Everton that.

I think there might be a couple if players rested tomorrow. Mina is quite fragile so I can see him dropping to the bench and Holgate playing central and Coleman on the right. I would also be tempted to use Bernard instead of Iwobi.

 

[Wat Tyler]

I’d be amazed if Holgate plays cm, CA has literally never played him there and he has Gomes and Davies fit to come in.

Rodriguez - DCL - Richarlison​

Yes, remember holgates motm performance against mu in that position.

Agreed. Feel like it’s gonna be Davies. Hasn’t Godfrey played midfield previously too? Wouldn’t hate having him in there breaking things up.

 

[Stanley Parker]

Everton; third game in 8 days; James Rodriguez is still recovering from a calf injury but Seamus Coleman is available.
Arsenal; third game in 7 days; Xhaka and Gabriel are suspended, while Thomas Partey remains out. Bellerin returns.

Big game for both teams. Everton look more settled, while Arsenal can't score. Great opportunity for home win in front of fans.

 

[JMT]

Don't think we need to play Coleman when he's just got fit, No need to chuck him straight in when we've won 2 on the bounce, It's gotta be the same team but obviously someone switching with Allan.

Playing Gomes or Davies in the Allan role is a disaster. Neither can tackle or breakup attacks, which is Allan's most important job. Andre is the worst tackling CM I have ever seen and his defensive positional awareness is horrid. Davies has the energy but lacks the needed athleticism and steel.

I'd rather see Holgate or Godfrey moved into that spot and Coleman or Kenny played at RB depending on Seamus' fitness.
