Arsenal 2 Everton 3

It's time for a win. We'll go three up after about 75 minutes, then hit the panic button. COYB!

Hey mate, can I have one of those exotic toads you’ve been licking?

I thought FSA said Coleman wouldn't be playing? Seems to have been confirmed by the player himself in the Irish Times this morning.
"I want to play against Arsenal, of course, but nowadays with sport science and things like that it's a lot more analytical. Back in the day you'd be thrown back in and left to keep going. But we have a good team here behind the scenes who know what they are doing. I am just happy to be back out there. When the manager needs me, I'll be ready."

Just hope we go with the most attacking side we can, these are nothing special, yes I know neither are we but if we go all attack with the new signings from the start we can win this

Coleman to come on for Kenny at 60 mins, Williams on for Mangala at 75 and Klassen on for Davies or Rooney at 80

I think Davies energy is key for this one - The Arse dont like it up 'em!

Papers all calling for a high scoring game so hopefully we can sneak a point in a dissapointing 0-0.
If we sit back and defend we will lose.

He’s going 5 at the back with 2 holding midfielders

Don’t even kid yourself that it will be anything else

The bus is pulling up now

Well if it's a 5-3-2 it could maybe work?

The 2 man counter attack will work well

The 2 man counter attack will work well

Arsenal don't really defend well from midfield. As long as you get past the initial press and past Xhaka then it's only the defence to worry about. You need pace up front to cause the Arsenal defence to panic.

I watch a lot of Arsenal and tbh, this game is perfect for someone like Bolasie and Walcott on the flanks. Monreal and their CB's (Except Kos) can't deal with pace and trickery. Bellerin would handle Theo well but he's not very good at timing tackles so someone with some good dribbling could get the better of him.

They would absolutely destroy us.

Get the defensive shape right and attack when we can. Any other strategy is based on the deluded belief we have players as good as Arsenal's and also overlooks the fact we are away from home.
