Match Thread Arsenal 5-1 Everton

[Fansince1988]

Davies has been awful all season, he really doesn't bring pace, he is actually incredibly slow.

If that is the team Niasse will be very, very isolated and I can see us going back to our good old zero shots on target scenario.

Well putting Snides back in midfield, Tosun up front we will be back to our old style of zero attacking football. So we will lose anyway. Niasse drags defender to him and makes space, something DCL rarely did.

Yes it sometimes how a players style can make others more space.

Agreed, i don't think Davies is a particularly brilliant footballer, but he bring something to the midfield and we alway seem more attacking when he plays...

COYFBB!​

That's a bit radical.

It’s quite sad that we’re beaten before we even start games against these type of clubs.

We definitely won’t win, I’ve got no doubt about it.

Rooney will score as he normally does against them. Let's hope the ref thinks it counts. I wouldn't want you reffing that's for sure.

If the rumoured side is correct, I would be disappointed. I fully understand the need to rest Coleman, but why change a winning side? The proposed side is too defensive which invites the pressure that Arsenal are well equipped to exploit. I’m actually surprised at how much of a ‘tinkerman ‘ the bulbous gravy boat is proving to be.
Be a bit bolder for gods sake.
Course ,if we nick it he will be vindicated.

I'd say Arsenal are far better equipped to take apart a foolish midtable side that thinks they can go there and beat Arsenal at their own game. If we go and attack we will be ripped apart. We've got to soak up the pressure and counter.

Understand what your saying, but we haven’t had a decent counter attacking since Moyes departed, and with those full backs in the rumoured side, we still haven’t.

I hope Walcott plays. Imagine the scenes if he scores.

 

[Encoder]

Think I'm gonna actually cry seeing Schneiderlin on the team sheet @ half 4

Full backs have crippled our attacking play all season. Sooner Coleman starts every game the better.

I do understand why everyone is so desperate to see us 'have a go' but it'll probably result in us losing 4-0. For me we do have to defend well early on. Atmosphere will turn toxic if we do.

 

[Wat Tyler]

And yet we consistently win more when he is in the team...

Understand I'm in a minority on this, that's fine. I don't rate him though.

 

[Pete Campbell]

Any team news?

 

[Death]

Did we get sued by Everton farm in the end?

The problem is that Sam would be absolutely made up with a nil nil which is why we’ll set up completely negative. However, after some dodgy results for Arsenal with a very shaky back line and defensive mid and given the excellent way we pressed high against Leicester for about 70 minutes in the middle of the game we should be going there for a shock win against an out of form team.

Not just this, but it's about time we had a good go instead of rolling over at a top six ground. Our record is horrible.
