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

[IllinoisBlue]

Well done to all the players and the manager and the fans. Thoroughly deserved 3 points. This performance gives me hope we can stay up. Arsenal have been brilliant this season and I hope they go on and win the league.

Player's turned up Arrogant and Cocky, Mikel needs to nip that in the bud ASAP.

Doucoure and Onana. The Spine.

That bring the fullback into midfield tactic that Pep and Arteta are doing is actually crap and would never work in a world where teams didn't have overwhelming talent advantages. It helped us massively today.

So, you seem to know more than Pep and Arteta now, go figure!

Seems you can polish turds........

You can't, but you can roll them in glitter.

 

[Ring master]

Some doing that, 12 shots with only 30% of possession against a team with 1 defeat in 19 (early Sep) and who had won 16 of those 19 before today

Bring on the RS

 

[St Domingos]

We'll beat these.

Taps nose?

We've gotten 4 points from 6 off of them and to my eye the same problem happened in both games

The kip of Arteta's face at the final whistle. Looked like someone stole his best eyebrow tweezers.... furious

...at the fact Everton had the cheek not to roll over and lose.

I dont know . It was high tempo ruffling Arsenal’s feathers. I hope we can maintain that desire. Im sure Arsenal will be back on it next week.

Nice post match from Onana - he cited the mental work of the past week from Dyche. Clearly showed & was the difference IMHO

Taking over a group that's fractured and lacking self belief... That's such a tough ask.

Clear he's gone in and got the buy in from these players. It's remarkable.

Got a good stretch now before Anfield away. Time to praise them and get them believing they can go there and get something.

A word of caution, I have seen so many false dawns, I’ve seen so many corners turned only to find another corner but today is one of celebration. Everyone on the pitch, in the stands and the manager put in a shift, a shift that was very necessary.

 

[maccavennie]

What a massive 3 points that was. Bet Dyche was have fantasies about that last night, goal from a set piece from one of his old boys and a clean sheet. Perfect!

We're not 100 point city or 98 points Liverpool, we're no way near that good yet, we're still inconsistent, still raw, hope we respond next Saturday.

Time to go Salvage the weekend, Take care chaps.
