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

[chippy1722]

Arsenal price has shortened in the last hour, I can see why with that team.
Is Bernard injured, he’s the one who actually gets us on the front foot, and attacking.
I can see a record amount of sideways and backwards passes today.
Arsenals midfield is average but still better than ours.

Exactly, Gbamin needs some company in the treatment room.

It's a muscle strain. Expected back next week

Getting nervous anybody? Let's finally kick that old familiar dread. out of our hearts and heads NIL STATIS NISI OPTIMUM. COYB

Feels good to have a game with something worth playing for again. Forza Carlo

Did not start last away game either.
Carlo rotates his team

 

[Mashtray]

They should be knackered by 60min

 

[Archie Knox]

Yep..correct team!

Shows just how awful our squad is. Sigurdsson and Iwobi as wide men when they are both woeful out wide. Bernard should be starting if fit. I suppose Carlo thinks we can frustrate them and push on after some changes (Bernard, Gomes) in the second half, which is fair enough if so. Desperately hoping Iwobi decides to up his performance given he should be desperate to his his former club what they are missing.

That midfield seriously depresses me mate. Schneids and Siggy as wide men. They have the pace of a comatose sloth.

If that's the team my guess would be Iwobi on the left in the drifting Bernard role. Sigi in the middle. Sidibe expected to get forward as much as possible with the extra midfielder covering.

Grim midfield indeed though. Be surprised if Gomes doesn't start following Carlo's comments.

 

[John Barton]

Be surprised if Gomes doesn't start following Carlo's comments.

Think he will start v Man U

I’m thinking 1-1 to be honest

Can’t see us not conceding

Standard Everton training session they must kick lumps out of one another.

Yes Joey, and rushed back too soon by Silva IMO

Think our defence is a week point. They seem to have 5-10 minutes most games were they go to pieces. And there is always a mistake in Pickford. If we could sort that out we could win this.
