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

[thevorpalblade]

Somewhere, according to multiverse theory, there will be an Everton winning 4-0 away at Arsenal... In another, we'll be on the wrong end of a similar scoreline.

Let's be honest, there's more chance of a Gunners OG than us hitting the back of the net.

Our current decline has coincided with the tenure of our current owner.

Not looking forward to arsenal game we would have to play out of our skins to get something tomorrow

I would take a point tomorrow and hope arsenal have a off night

 

[Swartzy]

Wife and I find out tomorrow if we are having a boy or girl. Hopefully it’s a bit of a good luck charm for the match tomorrow.

All the best for the happy day, And be sure to post the outcome just to add a bit positivity to all on here...

Optimistic Me: I fully expect us to get another 1 nil win to give me hope.

Reality 1: We get the 1 nil win then lose away to Notts Forest

Reality 2: We get spanked by Arsenal, then lose away to Notts Forest

Reality at 10pm tonight:

 

[GoldenToffee]

At least 3-0 to Arsenal.

I think every goal we have conceded recently has been 100% avoidable. Technically most are, apart from some worldies and true quality of buildup, but ours have been started by an individual idiot, then followed by one of more subsequent idiots not doing the obvious (like taking a yellow on the halfway line).

If it’s one of those games where everyone is on it for 95mins we can keep them out again. And bizarrely you always can tell it’s one of those games if Coleman is our stand out player. He is the barometer for our defensive performances.

3-0 Arse.

Think we play the same way we did against them at Goodison, frustrate the Emirates crowd and nick a point imo

 

[GraemeS1980]

The absolute best we can hope for is an extremely scrappy 0-0 which would be classed as victory imo

The absolute best we can hope for is an extremely scrappy 0-0 which would be classed as victory imo

The best we can hope for is a win seeing as we beat them a couple of weeks ago

 

[Voodoo Billy]

1-1 or 2-1 to us. Just a feeling, had us at 8/1 to win at Goodison. Come on Bloooooooooooooooos!

 

[mikel_88]

Your first two paragraphs had got me humming Spirit of the Blues, starting to believe the lads will be fully focused and that they've got this tonight.

Then you predict a 3-0 hammering.

Don't do this to me, it's usually our players who shatter my hope come match time.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Hopefully no injuries....

Yeah i could have easly said 25 years. But we had times not long ago we used to get at teams at home. Score 3 or 4. The cahill, pienaar baines osman sides were not that bad.
Last 5 years the football has been as depressing as i have seen. We're such a dour side.

We’ve had to put up with way too much grim football since Moshiri bought us. Cahill’s probably still better than half our current midfield.

Luckily I struggle to take midweek games seriously
