Match Thread Everton v Arsenal - Monday December 6th. 8pm

[blue to the bone]

Three points is not vital? Really?

Not the most vital thing no. These players got well supported last Wednesday early on and hid like cowards .

Get behind the team tonight. Forget this mass walkout crap

We get behind the team every time we play, sell out away ends etc.. Fans are entitled to their walk out tbf.

 

[chippy1722]

How much is Moshiri paying you? lol

Jokes aside, I'm certain more than a few of the players are fed up with the direction the club is going.
I reckon we'll see some of the players mentally leave the game tonight after 30 minutes too...

A fair few have done well with the direction we took. They wouldn’t have got the contracts and wages anywhere else.
Hopefully some will pull their finger out for a move to a new club.

 

[ElGato]

FSW to trial a no man midfield, a la false 9, and play double GKs instead.

Begovic
Pickford
Godfrey Mina Keane
Coleman -------------------Digne
Holdgate----------------------------Iwobi
Townsend----Rondon------Richarlison​

Snatch it 5-4 Delph off the bench

I don’t think enough will walk to make a massive difference on screen, it will then be spun by the club/media that it’s a minority that are unhappy, and Benitez has a lot behind him.
Even though it’s probably not the case.

Keane is decent when he's next to Yerry usually. Apart from his terrible start to this season, they're one of our better (or only) partnerships.

Have to disagree. He has the odd decent game. Maybe one in every 4 or so. He isnt evertons worst players. We all know the others. But keane sums up everton for me. Lower end table average who has been a mainstay in our capitulation over last number of years.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

What will it actually achieve apart from giving more ammo to the RS tossers

It isnt about them. Who actually cares what they think. I think it's good to make a point to the board. This isnt good enough and let them know that evertonians will not accept it. The importance of that cannot be overstated.

 

[TheAlmightyFloater]

The world isn't interested in us

True & most of our fans aren't interested in us at this point either. Which is exactly what the board needs to recognise.

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

I’m taking my nephew tonight, one of my mates has bailed out so I’ve took his ticket. My nephew has only been Cup games so I’m hoping we can get a win and put a performance in.

 

[FrenchDarrenBent]

We're due a win

I'm behind the protest but this is kind of the issue now - it's already achieved a reshuffle at the board level.

Now, if results and performances carry on like they are doing, it'll show that Benitez is an issue and also needs removing, but these fans kind of went to pains to say they know it's all not Benitez's fault (it isn't) and wanted change above him. But the thing is if we'd won 2 of the last few games these protests probably wouldn't be happening (maybe the derby result was enough alone, though). And those results are down to Benitez.

Rondon is probably injured anyway. I would play one of the youngsters upfront give that defence something unpredictable.

How would anybody be able to tell if Rondon is injured?

It hasn’t really achieved a board reshuffle though Toff, all that has happened is that an under achieving DOF who happened to be co-opted to the board has been sacked/walked, whichever version you care to believe. He has been used as a sop to the fans to stop them drawing attention to the awful way this club continues to be run by the current incumbents.

If we lose tonight we'll have lost more games than Burnley (18th) and Newcastle (19th).
