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

[lungo]

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is so bad in front of goal it kind of beggars belief. Pure Ade Akinbiyi vibes.

He has done science on coming to late and jumping to early.

 

[TGW89]

Why not? It's not a bad shout, now I think about it.

Perhaps this is why they went on Wogan in 85

 

[Bishop Thumpety-Thump]

You don't even no which kick I'm talking about

You don’t even know which no/know you’re talking about.

 

[DanB90]

It honestly isn’t hard to get Goodison onside is it?

Like our fans have this reputation as expecting too much, but deep down we’re simple creatures.

Put a shift in, close down the ball. Win your second balls. Play a bit when you can.

And they’ll be right behind you.

Some doom addicts in here trying very hard to criticise what was a solid first half.

 

[Blue_Eagle]

I dont understand how its this drastic a change in just a week. Like, how hard is it to say "keep your shape" and have players listen?

Football and life is 90% mental.

Dyche has been studying football management ALOT longer than Frank.

He's made things nice and simple for the players with his setup / instructions.

"Your job is to get the best out of who you're marking".

[Leylo]

At the game did I bash my head on way in

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Dreaming of a one nil to the blues.

 

[lungo]

I’m not one for hyperbole, and I rarely jump to premature conclusions based on minimal evidence, but I think from that 45 minutes it’s clear to see that Sean Dyche is basically like a hybrid of Catterick and Mk 1 Kendall

Not hyperbole yes.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Can we put to bed the absolute myth many on here were spouting "No manager could get more out of this group of players", you know who you are!

 

[cronullasharks]

Why has the kopite owen been shoehorned into the studio feed we get here

 

[john jako]

Enjoyed that first half

 

[Street end man]

Onana is scaring them to death here, he looks like a man playing in an under 15's match at times. We've put so much into this I just hope we don't run out of steam around the hour mark.

Mate a few of them do. We look so much more intimidating today, especially on corners. We look ultra physical in the main.

 

[Melchizedek]

Impressed with what Dyche has been able to do in under a week. We have looked like a completely different side.

Still a half to go, and arsenal aren't the league leaders for no reason, but we at least look like we can compete.

 

[peteblue]

Reminded me of the old dogs of war the way we are closing them down. Best first half for a while.
