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

[ToffeeScot]

We are quite unlucky that Saka is back but their defence is really thin currently and Gabriel will be a big miss. If Kiwior plays then we should target him.

Pickford
O'Brien, Tarks, Branthwaite, Mykolenko
Iroegbunam, Gana
Broja, Alacaraz, Ndiaye
Chermiti
​

Obvs this will never happen.

Need to see what some of these can do though. No point in playing Harrison, Doucs etc.

 

[maccavennie]

Sounded to me like Doucoure will be in the team tomorrow again.

 

[Marius57]

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

So many? You mean Lampard and Dyche?

The Lampard that picked him when fit and the same Dyche who looked at O’Brien and refused to pick him?

 

[Marius57]

Sounded to me like Doucoure will be in the team tomorrow again.

Don’t know why people think he won’t start. He is a nuisance and makes tackles. Made the most tackles of anyone on the pitch against Liverpool and I can confidently say that Moyes will be wanting that again to disrupt arsenals play.

It does ignore that he gives the ball immediately back to them after making the tackle, but it disrupts their flow.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Did a journalist just ask Moyes about what Everton players do on social media, in response to an Everton player receiving death threats on social media?

Kin hell

 

[degsy]

I fancy us to win

 

[ToffeeTim]

I can see a nil nil draw

And ours.

And ours.

Oh totally. But until we have any more availability (Ndiaye/mcneil being ready to start) I can’t see him dropping doucoure to shift Alcaraz more central.

 

[Toffeelover]

Moyes needs to develop a better strategy than that in the Derby. Attack and go at them from the off and press them for the whole game also be quicker with the subs. One big comment don't play Harrison or Doucs.

 

[Mr PEN86]

I don't care about how it impacts the title race, I want to win this. Living in London I know far too many Gooners. If we're to use Anti-Dychism, it's actually 1 win in 7 which isn't great. Really want Moyes to switch it up an try something like this.

I'd rather just put a traffic cone on top of a squirrel and select that than have Doucoure mate. It's just dreadful to watch moves break down time after time after time and the reason being that he's there because he's good off the ball.

My mums really good off the ball, my dogs really good off the ball as well. They're both probably the same ability wise as him on the ball.

Oh well, hopefully he pops up with a goal or some kind of positive contribution and every game that passes is a game closer to seeing a bunch of players who aren't good enough leave.

McNeil on the grass !
