Match Thread Arsenal 2-0 Everton. Sat March 14th. 5.30

We need to leave a couple up front on their corners, they’ll have to respond with defenders, meaning a less chaotic box.

I would agree with that completely but I am sure Moyes would will not agree.

if branthwaite is not available (as some fear) then we need to put JoB to centre back. The Keane partnership turns tarkowski from our best into our worst defender.

I look forward to the inevitable overreaction from the same posters who went missing the last three weeks should we suffer the indignity of losing to the first placed team in the league.

This is it, the end of all things. A team that can't score vs a team that try not to score... negative score incoming... and a corner routine that causes a break in the space time continuum where we all wake up in a parallel dimension as Liverpool fans...

Andy Madeley ref . Not confident.

We really need whichever of our Strikers he starts with to score as we have been over reliant on the rest of the line-up to get on the score sheet which we have been fortunate with really!

It's all about this - For some unknown reason though Moyes loves Keane - it's a joke really but ok.

I think he starts Beto. Played well the last few games and has the pace if we manage to get him in behind

I’d celebrate a 0-0 here.

Watching Arsenal tonight and possibly my favourite premier league player right now (besides our own) Saka, looks knackered, so does Declan Rice.
I think we have a real chance on Saturday.
If our little Senagalise magician plays like he played in the Newcastle game I can see him doing some damage.
We need to take any chances we create.

They will be on here at 5.31 moaning, it’s not as if they attend games.

So they don’t count

Them not being comfortable in this tie is a positive for us. I presume they’re playing the reverse fixture on Tuesday. So hopefully we can put pressure on them in what is a complete free hit for us.

I’d celebrate a 0-0 here.

A point away at Arsenal is a good result in almost any era.

A fixture we haven't won for beards (covid training game excepted). I'd normally just expect another defeat here, but for some strange reason, I think we can get a result, given our general away form. Despite our inability to manufacture a shot on target in the home game, I wasn't overly impressed with Arsenal. There's no way they cruise to the title, its their time of the year to wobble. A strong willed away performance gives them a real game here, provided of course that Moyes doesn't bend over in historical awe.
