Match Thread Everton 1-1 Arsenal. Sat April 5th. 12.30pm

[mccole]

After the dead rubber of a Derby, I hope to see what potential we have for next season.

I think Tarkowski needs dropping but Moyes won't. We have to try out O'Brian eventually at centre back because he is the future of the club.

I think Patterson again needs to fight for his spot and these final games, he should be given a chance at least. He could surprise Moyes and save us a lot of money in the summer.

I think Doucoure has started his last game so let's get cracking with a 3 man midfield to support Garner and Gueye.

Harrison is hopeless so with Ndiaye and potentially McNeil back, shove him back to the bench.

Beto is staying so why not have a proper look at Broja now that he is fit and potentially we could rearrange another loan if we see fit.

My XI v Arsenal

Pickford
Patterson - O'Brien - Branthwaite - Mykolenko
Garner - Gueye - Iroegbunam
Alcaraz - Broja - Ndiaye

Patterson lol about 8 managers haven’t seen fit to play him. His positional sense for a right back is shocking. Hes an awful player.

 

[Vaughan]

Given it's inevitable anyway I would like to add 1 if not 3 points to our tally to ensure mathematical safety

It’s not even about the points, I want more goodison memories and a boss day for all in attendance

 

[RomanReigns]

Early kick off

Suspicious

 

[Vintage]

We peaked here. Have been in free fall ever since.

If my memory serves me right my best memory from that game was Coleman doing the keepy uppys down the wing

why would Tarkowski need dropping, he played brilliantly the other night

Like the thinking outside the box. We could just play 3 at the back with Patterson and Myka wing backs. Then Jake the trouser snake can cover Patterson defensively.
Would love to see someone, anyone beat a defender and put a cross in the box or go on the over lap and put a cross in. Instead of farting about with it 20 yards from their box. Or relying on our slowest counter attacks in history of footy.

He did play well but he ultimately should have been sent off for a stupid challenge he seems to do EVERY game and now that he has done it against the RS, he will definitely be punished every single time.

He is the captain of our club and behaves so stupidly when he doesn't need to.

Also I want Branthwaite to stay and him with O'Brien would be excellent

Patterson won’t be starting. Tarks is still one of our most consistent players and will be our starting CB next season, he isn’t being dropped.

Alcaraz needs to be down the middle. I’d be very surprised if doucoure doesn’t start. He made the most tackles vs Liverpool and moyes will want him in there to do the same to Arsenal (just ignore that he passed the ball straight back to them after making the tackles). So likely Alcaraz gets forced wide again or doesn’t start.

Ndiaye will not start is he was no where near fit on wed.

For me, stick broja out on the right (like he did for Albania). And Harrison on the left (as poor as he is, is is better on the left than the right).

All great options but just think Patterson's pace and strength in overlapping will unlock a different strength of attack for us.

Look how many times Mykolenko gets a chance to cross and is very unsuccessful, we put Patterson in that position and we would reap the benefit.

He is poor defensively but him in a 5 man defence would suit me also

So many managers hzve looked at Patterson they can’t all be wrong
Harrison must be benched had his chances in recent games but he proved not a real premier team player

I want Patterson to get a chance and agree, he is our best offensive fullback option, but can’t see it during the next 4 games. Maybe in the Ipswich/fulham/saints games he will.

 

[matty1878]

these are getting bummed 3-0

sniff it lego head

 

[heatmeiser]

With Ndiaye back in the roster I hope to see some quality offense from Everton. Arsenal will flop all game and will probably get a penalty kick but I think Everton with their full-pitch press can hold out and edge a victory.

Was it convincing?
