Match Thread Arsenal v Everton - To Be Re-arranged.

[Groucho]

Arsenal.

The Arsenal.

I hate playing these, and I really went off Mikel Arteta. He’s roughly my age but someone must have a painting of him in their loft.

I see the progress being made under Frank Lampard and it reminds me of the early Moyes days but with him actually being able to attract a player. We do need to win games at some point though. Having said that, two wrongly disallowed goals on the bounce that would both have been winners suggest we are capable and I’m sleeping a lot easier now than I was through most of last season.

I was actually reasonably happy with the strengthening of the squad. Indicative of this is Demari Gray being the only outfield player starting the Derby who also started last season’s Goodison derby.

All that deadwood we said we needed to shift for ages? It’s mostly gone or going.

Up the toffees!

Pickford
Patterson Coady Tarkwoski Mykolenko
Gueye
Iwobi Onana
Gray Mauay Gordon
​

Arsenal are a strong side and I wouldn't be surprise to see them beat us. That being said, we should have enough to make it a competitive game and hopefully we can catch them on the counter!

In line with our recent results I am opting for:
Arsenal 1 - 1 Everton: Maupay

Dangerous for me to be so far off topic right at the start of an 'official' thread, but I remember nearly wetting myself at that M&W sketch right back in the day.

Feels like a 2-1 loss, with us having a man undeservedly sent off, and a good goal disallowed.

Yes if they would of got a win against united id of wrote this game off still going to be tough they’ve looked really good so far but after seeing us last weekend no reason we can’t pick a point up or better need another big performance off Pickford a win at the Emirates could really kick start our season.

I like this team, Davies wasn't terrible against Liverpool but it looks more balanced with Gueye in. Should give more freedom to Onana and Iwobi.

I've always felt that playing these so called bigger sides on the back of a defeat is a potential banana peel as they would be pumped up to turn it round.

But I always see the glass half empty with Everton

Arsenal play Thursday don’t they. Hopefully it takes a bit out of them.

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Good feeling on this one. May not be logical but side is coming together.

3-0 smashing on the back of an all time great performance by Iwobi, HOW YOU LIKE ME NOW

 

[Ivo]

Need to keep that Jesus quiet... He always seems to score against us and has looked quality since his move.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

A draw would be great... but we saw against United that they can be vulnerable on the counter. We need to try and exploit that.

That team pretty much picks itself right now, be the same following week too

 

[Chrismac]

Smash them through the middle of the park and counter at every opportunity.
Need Gordon to be on top of his game and rip White a new one down that side.
1-2 ?

 

[brieverton]

A draw would be acceptable again, all things considered.
We're capable of a result here, and its a big test for this group.
