Why both playing three counter attacking forwards when there is literally nobody in that team capable of playing a through ball? These are awful at the back and good on the ball - you couldn't pick a more unsuitable team to play Arsenal.

If I were a betting man I would put 50 quid on zero Everton shots on target. Prove me wrong blues, prove me wrong.

No need for through balls mate, it's just going to be hoofed from the back, and those forwards will be expected to run around like chickens with no heads.
 

Please this not be true!!!!

7 defensive players against a team who was just beaten by swansea. Inviting arsenal to just attack, is not the way forward, especially with Niasse and Bolasie, who due to an injury isn't really on form. Awful selection.

Well, they've lost 1 home game in 16 or something. They're a very good side at home, dreadful away (in the main).

They're likely to play 3 at the back so it was always likely we'd try and match them.
 

If that team is in fact the correct one, then it almost wreaks of another scatter gun approach to team selection rather than building consistency.

While I understand some may suggest that need to counter Arsenal, such an approach hasn't worked against other opposition - Spurs for example.

I'd rather we play our own game and field the same XI that won against Leicester bar Seamus obviously who'll need a rest.
 
I was hoping we wouldnt see that fraud Bolassie for a few weeks, and how can proffessionals being paid millions of pounds not see what ourselves and the pundits see?

Schneiderlin is trash, Bolassie is trash, Gueye is amazing EXCEPT for when Schneiderlin is alongside him

Its a 3:30am kick off here in Australia i have waited up all night hoping for a hardly changed squad to put up a good fight... ripped off... do one Allardyce, as soon as we hit 40 points pack ya stuff take your payout and be on your way
 
Just proves Allardyce's mentality. We have a chance to take a risk and play more attacking thus fighting for 7th place or we can go defensive and play for a 0-0 with the aim of trying to beat relegation.

He chose the latter.

Taking a risk against Sky6 does not work. Go and park the bus and hoping for a point.

I want Coleman plays not Kenny Sorry.
