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

This game has proper ‘Everton, that’ vibes to it. Arsenal in terrible form and Everton with the chance to go second.

I think we all know what happens next.

As much as I hate to admit it but we will not win this league

No worries; I'll take a Champions League place as a consolation...

Today is the day we get our revenge of the Arteta to Arsenal saga and all that followed.

Was it a saga? At the time I remember feeling that we’d seen the best of Arteta.

Billy Liar not reinvesting the money was the real saga.

If we beat these subtle we have never been this close ever in the prem era so close to the top going into Christmas?

And we have been depressed for most the season. Mad.

Do we have to be subtle to beat them?

 

[TyphooToffee]

No, bans are specific to competitions. If he got booked today he would miss the game on Boxing Day

Fixed that for you. It's posts like that which highlight the need for proper punctuation to avoid confusion.

I don’t remember him drastically dropping in form and he couldn’t wait to go and then how he acted on the pitch against us as if we treated him terribly. Being ultra snidey like he never was for us.

All the chaps can do is to prepare well, respect the opposition and follow the Manager's instructions. Hopefully, that'll see them over the line.

If they buy into some of this, "Arsenal are dreadful" stuff, they'll come a cropper.

Have you posted that from 1950?

If we win this and we’ve just beaten Chelsea Leicester and Arsenal without James Digne Coleman and now Allan, it will be one our best runs of form in the premier league, no doubt about it.

No I’d much prefer a Coleman playing keepy uppies and pissingon anyone daring to get near him while winning 3-0. But I’d take a subtle 1-0 today. Spelling errors aside.

No Allan or Delph, James still out, Pickford back in goal, and Coleman now available to play. Will be interesting to see what direction Ancelotti goes with his tactics and setting up the team. Holgate is more than capable of doing a job in the midfield in place of Allan if Coleman returns to the R/Back position, but I have a feeling that we'll either see Tom Davies or André Gomes playing instead; if that is the case, I don't see us winning. Anyway, my team would be:

Pickford
Coleman Mina Keane Godfrey
Doucouré Holgate
Sigurdsson
Iwobi Richarlison
DCL

Holgate in midfield is a great call. It's not like he hasn't played there before

Sorry, I'm in a sarky frame of mind this morning

Far, far too much confidence being shown here. Nailed on home defeat.
