Match Thread Ebepton v Woolwich - Tuesday 13th 19:45

[gonetomorrow]

Wenger's lads have feet of clay,
Everton will win the day.

 

[GwladysPhil]

This will either be a "spirited" and "well deserved" 0-0 or a complete battering.

 

[Milkman]

We'll win 1-0 and one of the fullbacks will score with one of our only shots on target.

 

[AndyC]

I just hope Gerald is the first name on the teamsheet and that he plays in the inside forward berth he played when inspiring the late fightback at Watford.

Come on Del Boy

Sindstadt ??
Surely dear boy you mean Gerard

 

[deipnosophist]

I have a bad feeling about this game...

 

[Khalekan]

No my mistake there Khal.

You had me worried for a moment or two there, Cheese

The way my mind works these days it would not have surprised me to show up at an empty Goodison this evening

grrrrrr........


wise guy

 

[D410]

Because the wheels are so firmly attached at the moment?

Getting hammered at home will be that moment. Lets hope the team save us from that sight.

 

[Lune1878]

I think we'll see an improvement, but still lose.

If you look at the games where teams have had relative success against Arsenal - you can start to see a pattern.

0-0 v Middlesboro (4-5-1 formation)

0-1 v Burnley (93rd min winner - 4-5-1 formation, no width, tight compacted midfield)

4-3 loss v Liverpool (False 9 formation. Pack midfield)

1-1 v Spurs (4-5-1 or 5-4-1)

Keep the game tight. Sacrifice any flair for more aggression. Lukaku up top holding the line.

Stek
Coleman, Williams, Mori, Baines.
Holgate, Gana, Barry, McCarthy, Davies.
Lukaku.

 

[ToffeeDan]

Robles
Holgate, Jagielka, Funes Mori, Oviedo
Gibson, Cleverley, Davies
Lennon, McCarthy
Niasse

Subs: Hewelt, Kenny, Charsley, Dyson, Connolly, Jones, Walsh

Because there's always a strong chance of a couple of red cards from Clattenburg to disrupt the Derby line up..

 

[Nil Satis Niasse Optimum]

In all honesty, I cannot see a 6-1 victory for Arsenal at all. I apologise for going way OTT earlier in the thread.

I think it'll be more like three or four nil to the Gunners. Maybe we'll grab a consolation, maybe not. Kind of hard to tell at the moment with Everton.

 

[Ashtonian]

Side note.

I'm staying in the same hotel as the arsenal players.
