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

[The Missing Lineker]

We’re 100% a Dyche/Allardyce project. We’ll forfeit unwinnable games and concentrate on dog-fighting the handful of games we think we can win. It’s exactly what we’ve been threatening to be for years.

 

[spudmuncher]

we have wasted money on a stupendous scale in the last 30 years, I'd love to see the ratio of successful signings compared to duds.

I was at that 7 nil

I just laughed whilst shaking my head at each goal, done this since the Bournemouth games, highly recommend this approach, a lot less stress on ya

What were you like after the two games we won.

It’s not all doom and gloom. At least we’ve got another trophy to adorn the trophy cabinet at Bramley Moor.

The We’ve Been Tanked 100 Times by Arsenal. Good times.

Luckily for us, in the Premier League teams can't batter other teams just cos they really want to, and also luckily for us we have tactically excellent manager who knows how to remove space from the opposition (unlike the last guy, who wanted us spread across the width of the pitch leaving huge holes everywhere).

We'll either draw or lose narrowly. Gonna be tight.

Sadly I was exactly right and you was wrong

1 win away at Arsenal since 1996 is it and that was with no fans. Not expecting anything than a battering tonight due to Arsenal wanting to beat us after us beating them a couple of weeks ago plus it's there game in hand which is massive for them. 4-0 Arsenal

Predictable

Not so sure about that...we just need to get Dominic Calvert-Lewin fit ASAP and get rid of those mistakes.

Personally I don't think we'll see him this season. Just a hunch

MoM Pickford. Dropped a bollock wanting more of this. He must be a more understanding Evertonian than I am

My neck felt a lot better, this head shaking sure does take its toll.

 

[Carlito]

Maybe they could spare us talk of new contracts after this one.

No way will he be at Everton next season, PL or Championship. His contract extension simply gives Everton more leverage on the asking fee whilst providing the player with an immediate increase in his salary for the duration of his limited time remaining at the club.

A Painful, Painful watch

just leaves you feeling as down as the team our

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Horrible result and performance - but expected by most of us.
It's a game that showed just how weak and clueless we really are - and which players Dyche can rely on - more importantly who he can't. Hopefully he's learned a lot - but he doesn't have much time or resources to implement change. He's our only hope though - so buckle up for the ride. Not much else we can do.

Wouldn’t bother buckling up, the ride is nearly over.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

As ever the result was poor but the performance was worse.
Any hope that the initial performance v Arse kindled has been well and truly doused by the subsequent insipid performances.
