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

[Walter Ego]

Shameful display from everyone involved

Really?

 

[PhilM]

Exactly they have to play gray up front not for me sad times

The more I think about it, the more I feel as if there's something Dyche doesn't like about Gray otherwise I'm not sure why our top scorer isn't playing.

He must be starting, let alone before Maupay.

Imagine how draining it must be playing in this team knowing that once you concede there’s absolutely no chance of your attackers getting you back into it.

Imagine playing in this woeful team but still going home with 50 grand+ per week!
I have no pity for these overrated, overpaid shambolic, so-called footballers.

 

[DanB90]

This group of players has shipped this kind of score line to the Brightons and Bournemouths of the world this season, so it’s hardly a massive surprise when we turn out to be absolute mince.

 

[Street end man]

We're getting an update on how the apology goes in here or are you starting a new thread?

I'll update as soon as i've finished washing the dishes, making the bed and giving the stairs a good bottoming

Sad state of affairs when your joint 3rd highest scorer is Own Goals

 

[Bulgarian toffee]

Any proof of that?

That we wanted him, or that he scored against Spurs?
There were plenty of links in January and I remember having read after the window that we offered 25 million with add ons, they declined, and we pulled out because we didn' t want to go "above our valuation '. And still we gave 15 million for an absolutely useless lump.

And your second highest got sold in January without a single player being brought in.

He must be starting, let alone before Maupay.

Back to the first game, we were leading against Arsenal and Gray was mucking about on the bench. Think it started with that, Gray is just too comfortable to take it seriously.

 

[Devanski]

Mate, I think there have been so many incremental steps to this point that it's pointless to go over it all.

But, any other team playing like us and with our squad "depth" and we'd all be calling them as dead certs for the drop. I can't get past a post here from a while back - there has never been any interest in the club being run well. I don't see fight, application being enough. We're just not going to get the goals.

My head, eyes and gut tell me this.
They just need to have a word with the heart and I’ll be sorted.

Just in the car back home now, just no hope at all at the moment, cant see us suddenly improving on Sunday either, terrible times.

That we wanted him and you basically proved it that there were links and reports, no actual facts that we even bid

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

The performance of a team that won't be in this league next year, hopeless.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

My head, eyes and gut tell me this.
They just need to have a word with the heart and I’ll be sorted.

Feel your pain, brother, sincerely.

Maybe so. Dyche doesn't like changing his teams (he's quite one-dimensional in that way), yet in this situation I think we need to have our best players playing.

Gray is clearly one of our best players.
