Match Thread Everton v Arsenal - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Here's the team from my source.

Pickford
Hibbert, Keane, Mina, Godfrey
Doucoure, Gylfi, Davies
Iwobi, DCL, Richarlison.

Hibbo? It's a Christmas miracle. Slide tackles Galore.

Third game in 8 days... I think Lotti will surprise us and rest a player or two today. Arsenal is no walk in the park, but we should beat them at home with 2000 blues @Goodison. Crossing fingers and hopefully we are #2 in PL after 90 min

If we carry on as we finished v Leicester we will win......IF.

That seems very un-Everton, but I hope so too.

Good opportunity for another 3 points this and not just because of how poor Arsenal have been but because of how solid we have been at the back. Cannot get complacent though and i am hoping that Carlo doesn't make too many changes as the lads are gaining confidence and consistency with every game now.

Do them blues. Lets get right on the heels of the rs scum.

Notice someone missing ?

I thought that Damian Calvin-Lewis or whatever he's called had scored a few this season.

Not literal success but given the context of what Moyes had to work with and the money we spent it was better than you could have hoped for.

I see exactly what you mean but in my opinion, as someone who saw some of the ‘80’s and went to almost every game in the 2000’s, in no way can that be labelled success.

I’ve seen success, and Arteta in blue wasn’t successful imo.

....especially whilst Digne and Rodriguez are out, it’s important Ancelotti maintains a very tight defensive set-up because we will still carry threat at the other end. Arsenal have quality, regardless of their position and form, so this will be a test.

Keep it defensively tight and we’ll win more often than not.

Come on blues, do these frauds
