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

[Luffto]

We’d be 2 up if we had a decent striker. Dominic Calvert-Lewin proving that even at his best he misses too many good chances

Better put on our other star strikers

 

[matty1878]

Yeh, bossed them
You must be a nightmare at parties

he’s a b him

 

[Dixie1sixty]

But putting him on the right gives him a chance to play into dangerous areas. It's the only place for him. Same for Iwobi on the left.

They've both played much better when they switched...

 

[buededw1]

Hardworking
Organised
Aggressive
Players getting close to Dom
Winning 2nd balls

Personally couldn't ask for a team thats had under a week to work with a manager and low on confidence. The goals will come, with the chances being created.

 

[dan7787]

We’ve played great so far, better formation, boys showing fight, only issue is scoring… DCL not good enough

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Transition (as in how we're set up/playing) woes...it'll come together if they stick to task today, or in the future.

 

[Rita_Poon]

More efforts on goal in that half than I can remember so far this season. Incredible.

Wonder if Lampard is watching...

 

[Bwana]

Let's jinx it: With this kind of performance we'll be safe.

Up the Poor language removed Toffees!

 

[Mr PEN86]

If I'm Frank I'm pisssd though. Doucs playing the best I've seen in over a year

 

[TheBigIguana]

Terrible back pass.

Before that

 

[Milkman]

Imagine, having a striker who's decent in the air and finally giving him service (again).

Won't be shocked if he manages to reach 10 by the end of the season if he's fit, no joke.

If there's one thing Dyche knows it's how to play to the strengths of a big number 9. Just need him fit and, preferably, scoring

 

[cronullasharks]

We have had 3 clear cut chances. I have no idea what you are talking about.

We have just outplayed the best team in the league. If we maintain that performance every week, we will win most games.

Who knows with this squad, we played well against city but then get smacked up by west ham and southampton etc

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

Good half there. Gana, Doucs and Onana is a good fit for Dyche, physicality, mobile, cover ground and protect the back four well. Solid through the middle.

 

[Del-boy]

Had some decent chances, but we all know how this will end up. Still positives to take.

 

[Muggins]

Better performance there.

Wish Doucoure would just be a bit more urgent with the ball. Sometimes he slows things down a bit for no reason or doesn’t release the ball when he should.

We are giving them a game tho.

Keep going Everton.
