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

[ADT]

Need to be beating the teams below us

 

[Zezti]

Hoping Walcott will be fine because Sidibe doesn't really work as a winger. Doubt Andre will be straight back in the 11

Pickford
Coleman Mina Holgate Digne
Walcott Schneiderlin Delph Bernard
DCL Richarlison​

Sidibe should start at RB

I predict we will finish 1 point behind 4th... forcing me to obsess about that 90 seconds against Newcastle for the next 5-10 years

 

[Pejic300]

The game at Goodison before Christmas was one of the worst matches I have ever seen. Neither side could string two passes together.

Obviously we're a different prospect now and as long as we can iron out the Keystone Kops defending in our own penalty area we have enough to win.

0-1 Blues.

this isn't like any other season

there isn't any reason why we don't go there and beat these

they are dreadful minus a couple of attackers

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

They're not scoring many but we still occasionally have a defense that looks like they've never met before. Could see this being a 2-2 but it seems so far away, so much could change.....
knowing our luck we will pick up another midfield injury in Gomes' friendly game.

 

[Tubey]

We absolutely have to win this game.

They only have 4 wins at home - Burnley, bournemouth,villa and man utd [6 wins all season],scoring 18,con 18, we have 3 wins away scoring 16,con 24

 

[daza_1973]

Never have a better chance to break one of our many away day hoodoo's - I think kanchelskis scored last time we beat these at their gaff... shocking stat.

 

[Zezti]

Sidibe should start at RB

Honestly they're about even for me. Coleman doesn't get caught out of position but Sidibe can put in good crosses. So I don't really mind which of them starts.

Coleman kills our passing because the midfield is so terrible. The build up play is noticeably better with Sidibe. I think that matters more than the questionable defending at this point. Once Gomes comes back maybe that changes.

This will be a tough game I reckon, even though they are an average Arsenal team, they have what none of our last few opponents haven’t got, that’s goalscorers.
If Palace had a decent striker last weekend would have been closer.

There does seem more resilience about the team now, and I think the realistic chance of Europa League will spur the players on.

You've dropped schneiderlin who was brilliant yesterday for delph who is a bad gimp

Goat I don't care for your selections feller

WOW! You're easily pleased.

Was saying the same thing to my lad. Defensively we'll have too tighten up against Arsenal and cut out the silly mistakes.
