Everton v Arsenal. 23rd Aug at 17.30.

He's not that bad. He's not good enough, but you go too far. He's trying his best.

"Naismith is Turbogash Mark III" is sarcasm on your position. He will terrorise their back four and create space for the beast.

Lukaku.

 

[paulbefc]

I predict limbs and scenes aplenty.

And also some pandemonium.

Mon blues.

 

[Titus Bramble]

I want pace for the full 90 minutes,

Mirallas and lukaku are no slouches like.

 

[Furey1878]

That's not good news. I think he's far better as a striker plus his pace will be a threat plus Giroud doesn't exactly frighten.

That's a very strong Arsenal side although I wonder why Konchelski is out - that's a big plus.

I'd play Sanchez through the middle in a front 2, like he does for Chile. Wouldn't play him through the middle on his own though.

That said I don;t want to kinx us so I'm going to shut up now.

 

[N.S.N.O.]

Arsenal defence isn't too spectacular.
Debuchy - Mertesacker - Chambers - Monreal

the good thing is, they've never played together before, unlike our back 4 who know exactly how to play together (stones looked lost at times last week)...monreal is a weak link, and hopefully mertezacker is lacking match fitness....

their midfield is quality though....

Looking at those sides, let's just say I'd be happy with a draw here.

Lukaku.

The only thing that ghost Naismith could terrorize is a haunted house.

We'll get friggin tonked here.

 

[Tubey]

We'll get friggin tonked here.

Can see a bore draw or a thrashing. But you never know, if we turn up we can do anyone on any given day.

 

[Petit]

Really? I think we should win.

 

[bluemangroup]

Behave lads, Goodison is not an easy ride for any teams anymore.

 

[davek]

Mirallas and lukaku are no slouches like.

I know, it's Pienaar and Naigood I'm worried about.

He's got Atsu there. He's a WC player. Get him on the pitch.

Martinez is farting around with this.

 

[marty mcfly]

We should have went with Besic, Barry and McCarthy. I fear we're going to have difficulty getting the ball of them.

We going to have to get in and give them a kicking before they get any sort of rhythm.

 

[FTY]

Behave lads, Goodison is not an easy ride for any teams anymore.

[Tubey]

Really? I think we should win.

That attack and creative midfield against our shaky early season defence is worrying. If we start on the front foot, we have a good chance, but they have pace and creativity everywhere on paper and we have looked turd in pre-season and carried that into the Leicester game.
