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

If 8th gets europa then that's realistic. I can see us finishing around 7th or 8th.

Fourth or fifth is going to be very very tough. I'm not sure its realistic.

Whatever happens, we're going to be a far better side next season.

Lose this and seasons over.

Having calmed down after VARgate just now - 1 point is acceptable but 3 would be great.

4 points minimum over the next 2 fixtures.

Not quite, a point is ok.

Not sure about that when we’re looking at another definite win for Man Utd and Sheff Utd, and Chelsea v Spurs so at least one of them will take points there.

Edit: Wolves are winning as well.

Nothing is decided in one week. And this is still one of our toughest games.

I'm looking at 7th/8th tbh still. Dont think we're good enough for 4th/5th.

Not one week, but the combination of this weekend and next weekend’s results will decide whether we’re in the race for 5th or not. If we fail to beat Arsenal and all the other results go as expected, then it’s looking like 7th is the absolute pinnacle for us this season.

Are any of the teams in contention for them places good enough? All pretty bang average sides, tbh.

They currently occupy the actual positions.

The season hasn’t finished. We occupied a relegation spot not long ago. The only time it matters is after 38 games.

The point is there are no exceptional sides in contention for the CL places. All are average and all are very inconsistent.

the manager is good enough for 4th, the team is good enough for 6th, with the individuals and their self destruct potential probably only 8th

 

[Seathestars]

I think we have momentum, means a lot in footy, I'll stand by original prediction, we absolute rinse this lot.

 

[Brownie]

We absolutely must win this game.

What happened to 6th?

 

[Billy Dean]

Still a lot of football to go, even if we lose this. All the teams from 4th down are very inconsistent so there will be plenty of fluctuation between now and May IMO

My clients got me a ticket for this game. It will be the first time I have gone to an away game and not been with the Everton fans, so if you see me getting a beating once we score after my loud cheer, I would appreciate some help haha

Depends where you’re sitting in the ground. Most Arsenal fans sit in the lounges and don’t bother watching the match.

We need to stick in there before the final 5 games and if we are in the mix with 5 games to go, I know we can get 13 points from the last 5 to get into Europe. If we are 3-4 off the places going into Southampton Home, I'd fancy us
We are going to need to pick up points from the next 4. I don't see why we cant get points in every game but at present points are better than being unbeaten so 2 wins and 2 defeats are obviously better than 4 draws! After the tough run we've a really good end don't forget. I don't fear Arsenal, United or Chelsea personally
