If we'd binned Frank after Bournemouth we'd play playing for Europe now.

No but binning him after the Arsenal game (5:1) last season would have been the intelligent thing to do.

 

[TheBigIguana]

That bring the fullback into midfield tactic that Pep and Arteta are doing is actually crap and would never work in a world where teams didn't have overwhelming talent advantages. It helped us massively today.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Set pieces will be better. Defense looked great

 

[Bkk Andy]

Great result. 100% effort which is the minimum we should expect. We fully deserved that.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Can't say my prediction was far off, was expecting a Gray screamer last minute and a loss.

Hurt's all the same lol. Still in the title race, absolutely, still got a game in hand, but 2 points if city win tomorrow going into Brentford, we need to win and hope spurs do us a big one.

City have got at least one more slip in them this year. Best case scenario played out for us today with player effort and crowd noise. Not often Arsenal have looked overwhelmed this season and I doubt they will again too many times.

COYB.

Got a funny feeling you're board will take the Credit for that win lol

"We told Sean, if we didn't turn up there would be no animosity, no pressure"

 

[PITA]

What's weird is that Big Oil said we're lining up in a predictable drab 4-4-2 from the off and we'll get picked off.

Hm.

Why does anyone correspond with that cockwomble? I really don't get it.

There's always going to be peaks and troughs. For your sake, and that of the league in general, I hope that's one of the few troughs from now until the end.

Your record at Goodison isn't great, like ours isn't great at the Emirates.

 

[arbok]

Looked like he had fun too. So happy for him

he had a good game - his job was simplified just defend and link up the play.

I thought if Bielsa came in, Doucoure would feature, he has a huge engine when fit. I was surprised he was picked today (only because I figured it was 442, but this formation also works).

That's the face of man just told it's sausage & mash for tea.

Loving the fight from this side today. In Dyche we trust

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

New manager bounce?
I hope so.

Hey guys Everton who have won 3 games in the entire season just beat league leader arsenal , big iguana will soon release a 3 paragraph post on why the win was poorly executed due to certain technical flaws in tactics and other insightful strategic analytical scrutiny..

 

[efcforever]

Told you guys, Arsenal playing us at Goodison when we’re on a bad run isn’t good news for them. GTFI

If we put this level in a week on Monday at the pit with another week behind them, I can see a repeat happening

Reminds me of the 2-1 and Rooney winner in late 2002. It ended an undefeated streak of over a season for Arsenal.
