Match Thread Everton 0-1 Arsenal Sat 20th December @ 20:00

Close enough, think he's from the Francophone part of Belgium (Wallonia). Always prefer the Flemish Belgians, seem friendlier.

I spent a lot of time in Belgium (field research) & agree 100& ... the good people of Flanders are very similar to the Irish & Scousers. The Wallons on the other hand are defensive and arrogant in too many instances. Only time I've ever shouted at a parish priest was in the depths of Wallonia.

Oh and Everton to struggle but grab an undeserved point.

Thanks mate. Think you've almost saved me there.

Who's starting then? McNeil or Dibling? Gonna be tough this one. Deffo one of those we could win if we are up for it. Kick off time favours the atmosphere I think. Also one we could get stuffed in. I suspect we'll know after 10 mins

 

[everton1953]

Frankly I can see a thrashing here. I will grip my seat and keep my head down. 8pm is a disgraceful ko time. Stuff the tv b.stds. Home by 1am probably.

The gooners away form,

Villa and the RS went
4231 and won,

Sunderland went 541 and drew.

So as we are :

Pickford
O'Brien Tarkowski Keane Myko
Tim Garner
Dibling Alcaraz McNeil
Barry

Also a team with the best defence around against a team with the worst attackers in world football.

This is a game for EVERYONE to see Barry's true ability. This mainly includes the numerous fans that think Barry has it in him to become a decent striker in the Prem Lge. I for one said, not a chance, even after only two starts.

Martin Keown would have you believe that they are invincible, they are not.

That said they will probably win the title comfortably, so we don't have to help them on their way this time and we'll have all the points ourselves, thank you very much !

 

[blueblood]

Think Beto gets the nod for this one, our possession will go through the floor without Grealish, Ndiaye and KDH. Just hoping for a few through balls from Alcaraz for Beto and a screamer from McNeil, its been a while....

I would have said that's all the more reason to play Barry. Beto's first touch and hold up play is woeful. Barry might at least help us get up the pitch a bit.

 

[Cels]

I would be happy with a draw, if I'm honest, but think it will be an Arsenal win

They are really becoming short of bodies at the back.

City winning is always a terrible time for football

Not if it is ahead of the saints of Anfield, surely??? Give me Citeh anyday in that two horse race

 

[Benicetoourboys]

For some reason I always think we can beat Arsenal at home, they tend to blow it around this time of year & the atmosphere we create seems to get to them.

2-0 us.

I don't even look at the top end of the table especially if it's those 2 battling for the title. It's like cheering on Stalin instead of Hitler

What on earth is our bench going to look like.
