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

[BornBlue76]

How the Arse didn’t score in the last 5 I don’t know...

Went with DCL. Godfrey was superb but still had issues with his man at times.. DCL was all but flawless tonight... did everything except score and the OG was his too really.

Was happy with the first half to a man but many players seemed to lag in the 2nd.. massive gaps opened up in the middle and they had way too much space.. Allan was missed but thank G-d it didn’t cost us..

Richy needs a break but when he doesn’t play we lose so just keep rolling him out i

Thoughts on Saka in front of Tierney?

He looks like a superstar in the making, just 19.

...he does, Zat. I was very impressed with Saka, Arsenal need to ditch the deadwood because they’ve got some fine youngsters.

merry christmas everyone.

With the injuries we have, I'm delighted with those 9 points. No team will consistently perform missing key players.

Will be great to have Seamus and hopefully James back on Wednesday, but I'm going to enjoy this weekend first.

Ground out wins are the foundation of good seasons. Did we only deserve a draw? Probably... but we found a way.

Deserved to win mate...looking forward to seeing Rodriguez next year....perhaps ?
