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

[Eggs]

....concern is playing a high line with defenders unable to cover the space behind. Sidebe’s main error was injuring the lad who started at LB. Still in the game, though, and we are carrying a bit of threat.

 

[irishtony1878]

Undeserved but I’ll take it big time. Schneiderlin and Sigurdsson off for Gomes and Bernard please.

Really? And leave Iwobi and Delph ON?
Is this your 1st game?

 

[Toffe3m4n]

In all seriousness though we have massive issues on our right currently. Sidibe & Iwobi up against Auba & Saka.. no wonder we're struggling. Need some sort of reinforcement there but options seem limited.

Really positive that we've still scored twice despite being below par, no matter how they came. Dom and Richalirson both scoring again. Need to find an extra gear second half though.. this is an Arsenal group who travelled to Greece on Thursday so, in theory, we should have more in the legs.

 

[Milkman]

Not Iwobi's fault this, lids.

 

[Archie Knox]

Iwobi, Delph, Schneiderlin, Sidibe should hang their heads for that performance first half.

Schneiderlin is on a yellow so he'll come off for Gomes as some stage.

Iwobi has to come off for Bernard.

Sidibe for Coleman if we take the lead and need to sturdy up the defence, or Kean for Delph and go 433 Sigurdsson in the middle if we concede and are chasing late on.

 

[Seathestars]

Poor at the back this Arsenal side.
We’ll win this on the counter.
i know it’s two set piece goals but we’ll score on the break as they tire even more

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Funny half. Arsenal improved immensely when that Sako lad came on. Their defence is terrible but ours have a mistake in them also. No idea how the second half will go

 

[PhilM]

hate to be that guy but we just need to get the ball in the box quickly and try to bully these

I don't care how we play if we get a result here. Like you say, their defence looks shaky at best, so let's put them under pressure and get more goals.

 

[toffeejack]

Kid on the left wants to get up the field all the time. Huge holes being left behind him

He's a winger isn't he? Need to get iwobi off now, either get Kean on and have richarlison running at the young kid or get Bernard's intelligence on, I can't say iwobi has intelligence or skill tbh.

 

[YoboCopter]

Souness wats dcl goal ruled out

I hate him

 

[davek]

Bernard and Gomes on, please.

 

[maccavennie]

Souness the fkin rat

 

[Azza]

Shock as Souness acts the tit.

 

[the golden visionary]

Souness. That is all

 

[Nymzee]

They need to be got at. Also don't play such a high-line please. Shame we have no legs in midfield.
