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

[Buckers]

I’m looking forward to this now. It’s a good old fashioned underdog comeback story til the end of the season. Then we sack Dyche appoint Bielsa and do it al again next season.

I sense much drama ahead! Isn't that what football is all about? Who needs middle-table mediocrity with nothing to play for? Football is entertainment and I see this game as exactly that. There is no fan passion to be had from knowing the game is rigged due to FFP so the minnows never get a look in regarding the higher echelons.

This game equals passion and I believe we can pull a rabbit out of the bag.

This lot are champions elect and I think we'll find out why that is on Saturday. That said, I think we'll see more from our team than we have so far this season.

The squad we have is what it is. But I hope Dyche sets out to play an agressive game with plenty of long balls in an attempt to unsettle their defence. Just maybe we could nick it 1 nil and another 7 games with that score would probably see us safe (probably living in dreamland). When all is said and done I feel the fans can play a big part on Saturday.

Getting a bit sick of the negativity surrounding the club, protests and all the bollox. Since when have we become Kopites. Maybe it’s a generational thing, we’re Everton ffs, we’ve always been [Poor language removed], apart from the 80s. Yes expectations have been higher due to the Moshiri money, but we are were we are. The boards always been [Poor language removed] aswell, it was Moyes who shielded it for all them years. The boards going no where, and if they do, it won’t be down to protests etc. so let’s all stop [Poor language removed] whinging and get behind the team and the manager, the off field [Poor language removed] will take care of itself. Everton will beat the arse 2-0 on Saturday, we should all be putting energy into what we do best and support the team, they’re gonna need it more than ever

Only been good in the 80's? Do the previous 100years not count like?

Sounds strange but I would prefer it to be someone like Arsenal than a team currently around us. If it was a repeat of Southampton or Wolves it would get ugly really quick. We aren’t expected to win. Crowd will be up for it early on so go out and fight for it.

Misogynist - reported

you misunderstand me my sheep loving friend, I wanted to enquire whether we could play our women's team against the gooners mens team. They'd give us a better prospect of winning.

0-3. Lots of effort, lots of blocks, lots of tackles. No shots on target.

 

[LocalNative]

A valiant 2-0 defeat

Boooooooo

Would be so delightful to win. But not an effing hope. They have even killed hope

Hope was looking to come to Goodison Park during the window but sadly saw a club in crisis and decided to go to Southampton instead.
