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

[Dublin blue 75]

Coleman back in the groove presumably means he takes holgate’s position at RB. Is it worth considering Holgate for the role Davies had tonight in CM for the United game?

Teams are falling
All around us
Blues are playing
Having fun
Is this the season, we don't sack our manager?
YERRY CHRISTMAS
EVERTON

 

[Dario Terracotta]

We're finding ways to win in spite of the problems surrounding our better players, delighted,Godfrey is looking the proverbial machine.

 

[Frenk]

Souness is scared, it's his worst nightmare his arch enemy Everton are up near the top again.

Please, all of you, for the love of God:

Watch AFTV now.

This is a gift that is continuing to give.

DT has just smashed his phone the absolute man child, INJECT IT.

Ewwww sticking the kettle on for when lads start posting snippets

 

[Andy Gray Diving Headers]

Lets be honest, it was a great win (especially as the players must be knackered) but I'm not going to be kidded in thinking that Arsenal were outplayed or Everton were great. However, many thought this was a 'should win game' and it was.......just. All players done their bit (even Pickford eventually) but Godfrey MoM for me. Now looking forward to Wednesday for a brilliant footballing Xmas!!!!

 

[Mikey O]

Smashing result and again we looked very solid save for Pickford's flap - delighted with defensive progress being made.

I believe there is a lot more to come with this team once James, Allan, Digne and Coleman are back.

Someone talk me through that Tosun cameo

And Seamus and Jonjo’s, Carlo just gave Arsenal the advantage they very nearly took, bit stupid that Carlo, and not for the first time with substitutions. Deserves a lot of credit for the other eighty odd minutes, but why create the panic that materialised.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Weird, for the 90 odd mins of the match and the post match stuff all the pundits and commentary team have talked about is Arsenal. We've had back to back wins against Chelsea and Arsenal at home and we barely get a mention.

 

[Tel001]

Thoughts on Saka in front of Tierney?

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

yeah, he’s very impressive every time I have seen him. Mostly at LB when I have seen him previously but a very talented player .. especially for 19

 

[chrissyjack]

Sourness raging why a big team like arsenal shouldn’t be getting beaten by teams such as Everton.

May their fume continue

 

[Steve EFC]

Great run of games now!!

Still upsets me more that we had that run of four awful results!!

I get your point but it’s a funny season all round.
Overall we’ve got to be satisfied right?

To be honest I'd keep the back 4 as they are. Godfrey and holgate are young and have pace. They're not as attacking as Coleman/digne but we're not getting caught on the break either. For the utd game, we could do with the extra defensive cover. Bring Coleman in later.
