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

[Arteta10]

Your ratio is based on December - February when he's been at the club since 2017.

And again alot of his goals have been tap ins from defensive mistakes or bouncing balls from set pieces - again nothing wrong with that but you wont always get that fortune/ mistakes the higher calibre of teams we face.

Long term if he doesnt start to show he can take on defenders / score from 1 on 1's, score outside the box etc alongside the tap ins for me he should be utilised more as an Origi type off the bench.

Ancelotti tends to rotate alot anyway so its not like he'll never play but we really could do with a quality CF alongside Richarlison for the big games - someone like Immobile, Werner etc.

No, my ratio is based on THIS SEASON.

If it were based on December - February it would be a lot better still.

He's 22 and hes got 11 prem goals by February. Thats good going.

A goal is a goal at the end of the day, doesnt matter how it comes. If you want to make that argument then i can counter it by saying he hasn't scored a single penalty. Pretty much all the players with more prem goals than him this season have scored penalties

A goal isnt just a goal though - look at Sons winner against Villa- 1 on 1 with the keeper- if he doesn't score that its 2 points dropped.

Against teams with 10 behind the ball or the sides like Man City where we will be relying playing on the break / counter - he has to start showing he can take the limited chances & chances where he has time to think.

Start Iwobi, there is a story in there, ...

hopefully

No Walcott means surely we'll go 3-5-2?

Cant be doing with Sidibe out wide infront of Coleman.

Sidibe crosses better, but gets caught out to far up when counter attacked, needs back up behind him , i would prefer both on that side Sidibe as winger if Walcott is out.

 

[Furey1878]

It’s gonna be Sidibe in place of Walcott init?

 

[Igrok]

If we score first, we win...

 

[Jadubsee]

Yep

 

[blue to the bone]

Arsenal at home to everton.
Charlie nicholas prediction will be predictable!!

Tbf mate, going off every single time Arsenal have hosted Everton since like 95 or 96, I think going for an Arsenal win is probs a safe bet.

They aren't great. They draw a lot. They have taken nearly a full team abroad tonight

We will get something here, but I believe if Gomes is coming back we will go very much 4-5-1 with Bernie and Rich either side of DCL. Gomes, Siggy and Morgan in the 3. We have to be adaptable. 4-4-2 has served us well, but last game the switch won us the game. I wouldn't want to be giving them too much time and room in a 4-4-2 with Gylfi and Morgan.

The story will be: "And THAT'S why they couldn't accept Everton's bid quick enough."

If we were playing accrington Stanley he would write the same drivel.
Different arsenal team now to the great ones as well.

Prediction based on nothing - We will get first pen of the season

 

[Death]

Let’s get wild

 

[DaChunk]

My guess would be Iwobi and Sidbe on the wings
