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

[Roztitute]

What a day. Anybody know where I can find any extended highlights? Ta!

 

[stony]

@stony Hope you enjoyed that.

Certainly did mate

 

[degsy]

Only one substitute though?

Strange?

Not really, reading between the lines DCL, looked preplanned, for the rest - it wasn't broke why upset the balance by changing it.

You didn’t flinch when we scored? You do you, but I prefer to snatch the joy that comes our way!

Dyche was all over the shop most of the time, just at his least animated when we scored.

I liked this moment:

Recent 'performances' have meant I'm inured to feelings of happiness with this team. I was however bricking it with 5 minutes to go - and 6 added - as I dared to believe we could actually hold on. My lad was going crackers when we scored. He's young tho so he's not nearly as cynical as I am.

 

[degsy]

How many of us actually believed we could win today . All put a shift in UTFT

Me

Loved his reaction. Mine was the same. Get the job done then celebrate.

Lol - I have become a bitter and twisted barsteward when watching us.

He looks like Simon Pegg run to fat there.

 

[OzyToffee]

Thought he was crucial in closing out the game. It’s all about opinions

Could have at least replied in French.

 

[Klinker]

Myko - finally looked like he understood what was being asked of him

Coleman - Was just coleman. Last of a dying breed !!!
How so many people on here seem to slate him I will never understand.
He would carry this club to safety on his own if he could....

I don't think Myko didn't know what he needed to do under Frank, It was more that Frank asked a lot of him going forward which he is not as good at and put him in compromised positions. Dyche basically just told him to stay wide and focus solely on defending.

That was pretty good. More of that going forward please.

 

[Dundee Blue]

I thought Doucoure was excellent in the more advanced midfield role when he doesn’t give the ball away in dangerous positions. He harried their defence to give DCL a break. DCL also did well against two top defenders. McNeils crossing especially from corners very good. Maupay came on and took over when Dominique left the field. Clever to get himself in a scram mash wasting at least a minute. Back four solid again after a few last games and a mention to Gana Gaye who did a lot of dirt work but didn’t so unnoticed.

This, and he had help in front of him, not Gordon wandering off
