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

I am surprised by the defence. Thought he might have gone for Godfrey. I also don’t think Coady alongside Tarks works. Especially against a side as quick and incisive as Arsenal

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

What minute do we think VAR is going to miss Xhaka snapping Onana’s shin? Absolute certainty.

Gonna be a tough watch this

 

[Axlswhk]

McNeil ahead of gray is not going to help him win over the fans.

 

[Noble Savage]

Let's hope he can find McNeils other foot. Or his pace. Or his shooting boots. Maybe his brain.

 

[Street end man]

Dyche is probably setting us up to be solid, hard working, hard to beat.

He'll likely use Gray in the last 20 minutes to try and nick the winning goal (if all goes to plan).

Agree with that.

I wonder if that will be 4-4-1-1 ....

Pickford

Coleman Coady Tarkowski Mykolenko

Iwobi Onana Gueye McNeil

Doucoure

Calvert-Lewin​

Im actually up for that. Doucs is far better when he’s further up the pitch. He hasn’t become a bad player overnight.

 

[DanB90]

We will win this. Bet placed!

If we had any chance, it’s now gone thanks to your bet.
I hope you’re happy with yourself.

4411 with Doucoure behind CL? That will cause some chaos

Whats up with Gray?

My guess it will be size... Look at the spine Coady, Tarkowski, Onana, Doucoure, Calvert-Lewin. Some big guys there...

 

[allen]

I wonder if Doucoure’s name fell into that position on the team sheet by mistake?

Onana most likely to be furthest advanced, isn’t he?

 

[Street end man]

Doucs close to Calvert Lewin up top make one big unit.

 

[tnc85]

Is the BBC wrong or is that Doucoure playing the second striker role.

I think he will.
Iwobi will be asked to play on the wing

 

[DanB90]

Is the BBC wrong or is that Doucoure playing the second striker role.

Did he not play there very briefly under Paelladyce and got a goal and a couple of assists early in the season?

 

[Street end man]

It's all making me think Dyche has seen something he likes in training.

Well, this wouldn't be half as a fun as Doucs in the "hole" and you know it!
