Match Thread Arsenal 5-1 Everton

[trueblue10]

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

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.

Yeah Oviedo at United is our only win away at ‘top 6’ in something like 50 matches. Not gonna change any time soon either with the attitude in Sam’s conferences... saying that though I recall him pinching a few wins he shouldn’t have over the years so maybe there’s a bit more optimism in what he says in the dressing room.

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.

Rooney should be playing, not after the big lump's performance against Leicester.

I don't think he should be playing.

Any team news?

...probably blag, but i’ve been told;

Pickford

Kenny
Williams
Keane
Mangala
Martina

Walcott
Gueye
Schneiderlin
Bolasie

Niasse

We may just park the 2 buses mate instead of 3, that will be more attacking for us.

 

[Smig1878]

I honestly think we’ll do ok today. But a score draw probably 2-2 Walcott 1st goal, won’t celebrate and will go the wrong bench when he gets subbed!

 

[AsiaAsia82]

Back 3 v Arsenal I reckon, mangala, Keane and Holgate
Seamus flying down the right as well

Let's stuff these Moshiri rejects!!

Ha ha. You need to change your user name to Hans Christian Anderson mate. Imagine the manager going with that line up?

Good team though. Possibly only change Keane for Williams. Pull Rooney off after an hour for either Vlasic or Davies depending how the games going. Switch Bolasie for......... Oh, wtf happened to our wingers?

 

[Pabbers]

6-0

 

[Muggins]

7-0.

I do hope you're right Eggs.

About it probably being blag I mean.

From a footballing point of view thats possibly the worst Everton line up I have ever seen. There isnt a single player there that gets his head up apart from possibly the keeper.

This will be a game of hoof and hope for the best if ever I saw one.

Game plans obvious. Sit deep, stay compact & hit them on the break.

Could work, the Emirates is a big pitch, they’ll be a lot of space for Walcott, Bolasie & Niasse to exploit. Especially if we sit deep and invite them onto us.

Mate.

There isn't a single player in that team apart from Pickford that is capable of lifting his head and picking a pass to one of our forward players. Not one. This will be a case of punt it long and hope for the best. That is not an example of playing on the break. Far from it.

Hopefully that team is not accurate.
