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

Hopefully Mina back plus 3 in the middle of Allan, Doucs & Delph. No Rondon please despite his slight improvement last game. If he doesn't go with 3 then i just don't see what he sees & what he's trying to achieve.

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

Good point about Rondon. Doubt he will go with any youth until we are comfortably winning games. So basically never.

Haha! Yeah seems putting youngsters into this situation. Feels like we need a spark from somewhere though.

Goodison hasn’t been a beer pit for decades. I think our players fear that siren call at the start of Z Cars

Wouldn't be so sure yeno

I know it scares me

Yeah everyone drinks in the pubs around the ground and Wetherspoons

We in trouble either way if keane is partnering them.

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.

Not going to lie, if a defeat tonight saw the end of Benitez as our manager... I'd take it.


I've completely changed my stance on him.


I know it's not 'cool' to admit you'd want your team to lose (especially considering our current league position).


But if a win and a mid-table finish bought him an extra year or two as our manager.


I'd rather just get it over and done with tonight.


Let's bring in a manager the fans can adore.


That's usually how it works.

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

We either win 5-0 or lose 5-0

Unfortunately we know which is more likely

 

[hallamblue]

They press high and play fast. They struggle against teams who put them under pressure. We won't. Struggle to see anything other than a comfortable Arsenal win.

 

[windymiller]

We will play a midfield 2 and get overrun. We will not compete at set pieces against one of the least physical sides in the league. He will probably put Tosun up top and we will probably have about 32% possession.

He won't play Tosun, he'll play Rondon. It's as sure as death and taxes.

i think i'll watch the latest episode of Succession instead

by all accounts it's a banger - no spoilers though please

Like who? "Big Dunc" do me a favour. As much as we despise Benitez I’d take him over anyone else at the moment. Get to the end of this horrid season and see where we stand.

Like who? Is a commonly asked question before any new manager / player is appointed.

Fans love to make out there's NOBODY out there just itching to get their opportunity to manage a premier league club.

There always is.

Life will be better without a Kopite at the wheel.

If it's not, I give up.

 

[strummer]

Get behind the team tonight. Forget this mass walkout crap
