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

[McBain]

Arsenal’s most exorbitant, and often enraging, asset has quietly reemerged from a trial with Emery that has encompassed the better part of this season without the familiar grace of teenage sulk and stooped shoulders. There were the training ground strops, the mysterious lapses in his immune system, a tentative toe into the January transfer market to assess what suitors might be lingering on the periphery. Yet the 30-year-old’s unassuming return, without any cultish or divisive fanfare typifies the transformation and trust Emery has extracted from his players.

The less recognised sight of Ozil charging back to the quarters of Arsenal’s own box, tucking into the half-spaces in midfield, and abandoning those spells of mindless floating like a goldfish lost in an oversized bowl, proved his willing to adapt, a gracious adherence to Emery’s way at Arsenal. One which wasn’t scared to leave him behind, and in turn served to level all egos.

Against Newcastle, Ozil covered 10km, had 83 touches and made 63 successful passes in the 84 minutes he was on the pitch. The No 10 has started Arsenal’s last four games and, in those, they’ve scored eight goals and conceded just one. Tucked in ahead of Aaron Ramsey, who himself has adapted to a less glamorous role in the centre of midfield without any fading enthusiasm, there is an air of strength to Arsenal’s spine.

Thanks mate. Basically got his butt handed to him for acting like a prat.

350k a week and played half a season. Value for money.

Given the cautious optimism throughout this thread, I think I can safely say we are in for a thorough walloping... 1-7

We never seem to do well against Arsenal. Going to be a hard game, but we must win if we want 7th.

​

2 London teams, 2 wins, up next The Londoners from The Arse.

Managed by 1 time Everton wishlister Count Emery, we face a bang in form Arsenal side, 4 wins 1 draw in their last 5 games and recently a bit of bogey side for us, but which top 6 side isnt these days. With the boys in blue also in fine form this has all the makings of a good game of footy.

No reason at all to make any changes, I think we all agree that everybody on the pitch today more than earnt their spot next week, COYB.

Goats 11 to start :

Picko
Colo - Zoomo - Keano - Digo
Gano - Gomo
Rico - Ico - Berno
Domo​

Full homo and no ragrets

No predictions this time from me and still debating on watching. Last minute I saw was the 45’ of the Chelsea match and I turned off the TV with disgust.

Was very tempted to watch last weekend but thought ehhh better not. Now I just want to be able to watch a game that we win for the first time in months.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

1-1 or 1-4 to them
