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

[andy4efc]

Better than his average in the first half then he gave away a terrible peno when Arsenal weren’t in the game. And disappeared in second half.

As much as I believe and still believe Davies is a terrible footballer who is stealing a living at Premier league level, I feel like our whole miefield sort of vanished second half so hard to pin him for it.

You're right though, his first half was above his usual poor self. Kept it moving, sometimes too safe with it but ultimately fought and kept the ball.

Nice one Mikel

Off to ask if he can see the lawnmowers that his sale funded.

 

[croatian blues]

James?

Can't believe there are doubters after 3rd consecutive win. Yes, we can lose next two, but we are not prime time Barcelona. Enjoy this is Everton!!!

Great win again ;-)
Easy to point fingers and complain about some players and even if we rode our luck, why not?
Great night to be a Toffee ;-)

Not sure we rode our luck.

Apart from Pickford coming out and making the usual divvy of himself flapping at the ball , he didnt have a save to make.
Arsenal were never gonna score mate.

Those pundits on Sky were all about Arsenal barely a mention of our team.

UTFT!!!!!!

 

[Toffeelover]

From comments, reports etc I have read Davies, Siggy, Tosun really need to be shown the door.

Digne, Coleman, Allan, Rodriguez...any team on the planet would miss these four....and we still won comfortably.......

Those pundits on Sky were all about Arsenal barely a mention of our team.

In fairness, redknapp was pretty praiseworthy. Souness remains as he always has been a filthy red.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Wasn't pretty. Wasn't comfortable. But it is another 3 points in a situation we often mess up in.

Hope James is back for the Utd game.

Another game where I have to listen to Jim Beglin as co commentator. He's far from the worst but they can't help but be annoying. This time he mentioned that even everton fans he talks to recognise that Richarlison can be a bit theatrical. Yes Jim, that's because we're capable of admitting to the flaws in our players. Something you won't be used to with the club you played for and their fans.
He even said he was doing it again at one point when the replay clearly showed the Arsenal player stepped on him.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

DCL messing around when being subbed would have added time too.

Doesn’t come close to accounting doe playing nearly 7 minutes

 

[Steve EFC]

Heart attack football from Moyes era but hard fought 3 points.

Not sure if this approach will be sustainable.

Agreed but if we remain realistic and consider that this is simply Carlo getting his best out of the squad it will be beneficial for our emotions.
Let’s not get carried away, he’s got serious work to do in the transfer window, that said it’s going well!!

 

[blue to the bone]

Which your entitled too, and im responding by saying stop looking for a negative when we've just beaten Arsenal, Chelsea and Leicester within one week, without James, Digne, Coleman and Allan (today).

ENJOY your Saturday we will be in the top four over Christmas.

The negative is tosun should be no where near the pitch.

 

[Death]

Beat Sheffield and city is a free hit imo. Then west ham soon after that has importance
