Match Thread Arsenal 0-0 Everton, Sat 14th December, 3pm

[Toffeelover]

need to go all out for a draw, that's the best we can get ... although I think Arsenal have a better chance in title race than Chelsea...

Had to laugh when I seen that. That is always Dyches plan.

 

[Toffeelover]

@edge this is a possibility more likely a probability. The set piece kings of the PL against each other. Did you see what Monaco did against them at corners? Monaco left 3 players upfield so Arsenal had to leave more players back and it upset Arsenals set piece plans

That is tactics, a foreign word to Dyche. He would never dream of doing that.

 

[Vintage]

Think it might be the type of game to start Lindstrom but Dyche will go with Doucoure

Another capitulation in the tunnel before a ball is kicked.

If we can keep them down to three it'll be a result.

 

[Pejic300]

I see the 4th official for Saturday's game is Andrew Kitchen and the assistant VAR official is Dan Cook

That’s a recipe for disaster.

 

[HappyJack]

That’s a recipe for disaster.

Someone at The Premier League is cooking the books if you ask me…

Can't see anything for us in this one. I'm just hoping we don't lose too heavily for GD purposes.

 

[Lob]

No such thing as an acceptable loss when you are being watched like a hawk by the new owners. We will get beat of course but i want to see passion and effort and a game plan of how we might be able to win it, not just negative to keep the score down.

 

[Curtis]

If we setup for the counter they're beatable they have a major injury crisis at the back. I'd put broja in with dcl as a front two

 

[brian labone]

I hate the way we don’t leave at least one player up - automatically takes two opposition players out of the game

I have been saying this for a long time but Dyche will never do it. (sack him now)

 

[brian labone]

Must admit.

I've stopped watching Everton away at Arsenal.

I know, I know.

But it's the biggest write off/waste of time of the year.

It's the only game I avoid.

I'll honestly just keep occasional glance on flashscore tomorrow.

Bad fan me but be arsed depressing myself on a festive weekend.

This could be the one for a win.

 

[St Domingos]

My lads just shown me a screenshot of Arsenal versus Monaco from a Arsenal corner, 3 Monaco players are stood on the halfway line. I don't know if anyone has posted this, but Sean if you are in here

Had to laugh when I seen that. That is always Dyches plan.

No matter who we would be playing as well mate.

 

[Gilbert..]

These are great games for dyche. If we get mullered he'll claim they are title contenders and most of the damage was caused before he got the job. Win or draw and the damage that was caused before he got here wont be mentioned and this result is down to him.
Can i call it now?
15 minutes competitive
Full time Arsenal 5 0 Everton.

Just for once Everton shock me.
