Match Thread Arsenal 5-1 Everton

[Everton1654]

Disgraceful lineup. Admitting defeat before a ball is kicked to an arsenal side in crisis

 

[CRIMHEAD]

Again, no one to carry the ball and transition. Davies is the only one as Klaassen isn’t playing. My guess is that we are asking Gana to play that role. It’s just not his best role.

But At least Gana is in. Had fears Morgan would be put in in place of Gana.

 

[VentureBrosEFC]

To be fair it at least looks like we have a plan, that has potential to be a lightning quick counter attack

This. I dislike the man but I agree with Sam that any back four we put together would get walked through by Aubameyang, Ozil, and Mkhitaryan. Not crazy about the cm pairing but the bench is very attacking.

Well that's another Saturday ruined. Tells you something about the current manager when a new 27 million pound striker who hasn't even had a chance to show what he can do yet cannot start a match against a team like Arsenal. Will honestly be glad to see the back of this clueless gutless Manager at the end of the season. Going to be painful to watch this. Not sure the pitch is even big enough for our buses.

 

[GerryLives]

Wow. Mad changing the teams so drastically after an important win.

Shoehorning mangala in. Scheiderlin and gueye proven not to work but playing together.

Hope I'm wrong but this could be bad.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Davies or Rooney instead of Morgan and it would be OK.

It's a real shame JMac went down tbh. This is one of those games where I would have him and Gana as the pairing

 

[Mrk]

That team is pathetic.

 

[Blues Harp]

Expected loss with 2 home games v palace and Brighton to come..

 

[GwladysBlue]

That team makes me feel sick. I hate Fat Sam.

 

[Deckard2049]

If you want to know why our manager has never won anything this lineup is all you need to look at as to why that is.

 

[emik]

big sam needs to go

 

[hktoffee]

Sam Allardyce eh.

Still, again are we all deluding ourselves? When was the last time we won at Arsenal?

Hopefully the game plan of frustrating them and doing them on the break.

Plenty on the bench in Sigurdsson, DCL, Rooney, Tosun and Davies to change it if needs be.

Even against some midtable teams away let alone the Sky 6, it has been proven having a go does not work under this team and manager. I am being realistic if we get a point it is a job well done.

 

[chrismpw]

That is the kind of lineup that makes you want to watch from behind the sofa.

 

[Royalbm1]

Can't wait for kick off with that team

 

[scratchnsurf]

When was the last time we fielded so many black players in a starting XI?

Not even being funny here, think it's great and I'm genuinely interested to know.

I'm more interested to know when such things will be viewed as totally irrelevant.
