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

[JMT]

Hmm familiar.

Do tell.

Before the Chelsea game I expected to lose to both them and Leicester, and to have a good chance against Arsenal.
After winning them two I fully expect Everton to lose tomorrow. Arsenal is the easier of the three games and it’s not Everton like to come out with 9 points.

Olsen
Coleman - Mina - Keane - Godfrey
Iwobi - Holgate - Doucoure
Rodriguez - DCL - Richarlison​

Olsen ain't playing Carlo stated it before we kicked off last game - just rotation.......

 

[Wat Tyler]

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.

He will play Doucoure there

He will play Doucoure there

Yep.

Less box to box, more box to half way.

 

[Devanski]

If James plays and takes Gylfi’s place in the same set up as the last two matches, then I wouldn’t want to see him moved to any other position.
Would have to be out of the squad or, at best, only on the bench as a direct replacement, should James tire at 70 minutes or so.

 

[LEONARD]

I'm worried about this one.

Arsenal are on a terrible run, their confidence is rock bottom, and the manager is under real pressure.

Guess who they play next?

We did it at the beginning of the season.

We had a great run of form under Silva.

Time to turn the corner. We want more, let's elevate our expectations.

Arsenal are in terrible shape with morale on the floor. So expect a win for them. When you absolutely need a fillip come to Goodison Park where dreams come true. I remember Martinez leading us out against Sunderland who were adrift at the bottom and we were scheduled to hit third. We lost 1-0. It all went south for him after that.

 

[TheBigIguana]

0-0 is the result that scares me the most here.

 

[Bigduke1234]

I want us to stay compact and let them have the ball and hit them on the counter, really suits us. Could see us winning this 3-0.

 

[Toffeelover]

I won't be able to watch the game either on TV or a computer stream, Daughter is coming for her Dinner and watch Strictly!!!

 

[Roachey11]

Need to take these to the woodshed

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

If we stay compact Calvert Lewin and Richarlison have got more than enough to hurt them at the back. I expect a big game from Iwobi too. He owes them one.
