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

[Nymzee]

Only players I fear are Lacazette and Auba. Rest are crap.

It'll be interesting to see how this goes in the middle because their midfield is pretty crap too and despite that they'll want to pass the ball around like we also will. An old fashioned midfield crap off. Hopefully we can get direct at the right times and score a few here. It is a winnable fixture.

Bypass the midfield go long and get DCL to bully their defenders.

 

[Nymzee]

I want another performance from Dom like the one where he got their whole defence booked last season.

 

[Mosh Pit]

Just realised we don't play Arsenal today.

Me no like.

 

[TyphooToffee]

I can't remember the last time I was so confident of beating Arsenal. I'm even losing the feeling that going behind means we won't win. It's amazing what confidence a world-class manager brings.

 

[Caolam]

I think we should be going to Arsenal looking to beat them by 2 or 3. I would definitely start Iwobi, nothing like a bit of payback to get you going. Hopefully Gomes is back and able to play at full pace. Again I would start him and replace him as he falls of the pace. In DCL and Richarleson, with an on song Bernard we have enough up front to torment, just need midfield to defend and to get the ball to forwards quickly, Carlo's vertical passing.

This is the worst arsenal team in a generation with a very weak keeper and back 4.

Arsenal 3-1 Everton

Nullify subs and martinelli and I’m confident we can win

Speaking with my Arsenal mates they say something very similar about us, naming Richy and Bernie!
Love to win at their place, I really would

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Have to go 3-5-2 like at City but this time hopefully having Gomes in the midfield will give us more ability on the ball.

The midfield isnt good enough to have 2 in there against the better sides - having Schneiderlin & Delph sitting deep with Gomes just ahead given free reign to spray balls out wide to the attacking fullbacks and to our front two would be our best bet of getting a result imo.

 

[Toffeelover]

This game is so far off, the players will be stale.

To be fair the Arsenal fans probably think similiar of us.

I think it will be a tough game, they have a better attacking threat than we’ve played recently. This will set us up for the harder run of games coming up.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Play well and get something

 

[deipnosophist]

I detect some germ of hope is being nurtured in the hearts and minds of many GOTers

Such does not augur well.

I suspect our brave lion hearts, playing under a degree of pressure,(due to expectation), will remind everyone naive enough to even contemplate a win away at Emirates, that ‘it’s the hope that kills’.....and ‘Everton that’

NSNO

This match as well as the three after that now takes on massive importance with the Man City news.
