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

[ForeverEverton]

I`m gonna stick my neck out here..... It may be controversial but I think Gomes still has something to offer.

I thought we`d get beat today, especially after the 1st half. I said "We will not score 2". I was wrong.....The only time I`m happy to be wrong

COME ON YOU BLUE BOYS

Lets keep our feet on the ground, that is just 1 result, 5 points from 27 with some more tough games coming up...

Feeling a bit more positive, a long way before I get of RBs case though, if we make Europe as he says I`ll give him the benefit of the doubt. I worry about his signings though....

Carragher: "Benitez will be turning his attention to sorting out the academy next".

Carragher, you patronisng get.

'kin Liverpool are route one you squeaky voiced spanner.

Is he smart or thick, I'm not sure? You seem to use him both ways.

Pickford 5
Godfrey 6
Keane 7
Mina 5/Holgate 5
Coleman 4
Allan 6
Doucoure 7
Gordon 7/Iwobi 3
Townsend 5/Gomes 8
Gray 8
Richarlison 10

Pretty much what I thought with the exception of Doucoure, I thought he was better than a 7, he got through an insane amount of work.

I'm 80 years old. Went into hospital for a kidney transplant on Saturday morning. Did three hours pre op, and transplant was cancelled because donor kidney was faulty. All a bit like watching Everton,but tonight the blues got the transplant !!!

Wishing you well mate. Glad you enjoyed the game. Hope your transplant comes soon.

I don’t think we need lino’s anymore. Just get the computers to do it.

We don’t even need a ref. Just have some sound effects and a spotlight to show which team gets to restart the game, and where from, in the teams colours.

It’d be amazing.

no way in a million Jehovahs is that offside. if you have to draw a line to check, forget it, they're level and therefore onside

You wouldn't see either of those VAR decisions given against Liverpool, Man U or Man C.

Henderson literally had a tighter goal ruled out for offside in the derby last season. All offsides, no matter how tight, are ruled out by VAR.

With other decisions I agree with you. Some you get, some you don’t, with a tendency towards the sky 6 getting more in their favour.

We were unlucky with the 2 offside decisions tonight, but they were both offside. Very tight, but proved off. I’ll be honest, I like it that way. It’s annoying when it goes against your side, but at least the correct decision is given. There is no grey area, you’re either on or you’re off.

Curtains for Luca?

Good, he's been poor.

I love Benitez what a great manager, we are so lucky to have him here lol

Post of the day

 

[degsy]

Not controversial, he does offer a lot if in the right frame of mind but not often enough

And in the right type of game...but keep him the 'k away from our box, he's a free kick waiting to happen.

Yes Astro !

My annoyance with this everton team is why they dont work this hard every week esp v the lower table sides. It wont always win you mat hes but it definately increases your chances. What a goal bu gray. A real find of a player. Gomes did well from the bench and he usually does. Richarldson was outstanding. Worked his socks off and was really unlucky not to have a hat trick. 3 excellent world class finishes.

What made you think i quoted him favourably on the first?!

Don’t think the wife will appreciate either the inappropriate language in front of the kids, nor the usage of her expensive lipstick

Tbh he hasn’t offered much recently and his defending has always been suspect. But I do enjoy his foreplay.
