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

[PhilM]

Bossed them to an amazing 0-0 wooooo!

 

[Brad.st]

Hope it's not just new manager bounce but he's fixed the fundamental problem under lampard...the midfield structure

 

[Tommy Chong]

Unlike Lampard, I'm sure Dyche will make subs at some point in the 2nd half?

 

[dan7787]

Better put on our other star strikers

I’d rather play Simms

 

[TheBigIguana]

You’ve defo never kicked a ball

You don't even no which kick I'm talking about

 

[Joey66]

The big difference is the team has worked a a complete unit - our left back what a difference?

No tippy tappy & defending too deep - support for DCL .....COYB

 

[Buckers]

Sean is my new hero






Until arsenal score.

 

[allen]

Excellent half. Really impressed.

 

[Duncan's Donuts]

We don't score and haven't looked like scoring. We need wins not draws. No attack at all. Not Dyche's fault, but we're going down.

We have looked like scoring. You're a hard man to please. We've been tonked by all the worst teams in the league in the last few weeks and we're playing a team who've taken almost everyone in the league apart this season, yet we're the better side. You couldn't realistically ask for more improvement in a few days.

 

[EvertonCJ]

Playing well. Dom looks really sharp. Think we’ll win this.

 

[MikeH72]

DCL is so bad in front of goal it kind of beggars belief. Pure Ade Akinbiyi vibes.

 

[Blue_Eagle]

There's a long way to go in this game and for the rest of the season... But that 45 minutes is what Everton are all about.

Frank tried his best but Sean Dyche seems to have nailed it there.

 

[Baggzio]

Even if we lose and these players run out of steam second half this has still been massively encouraging.

Playing the best team in the league at the minute and we should be winning, been fantastic. Confident that Dyche will get results against worse sides than Arsenal, the only worry we’ll have is the fact we should’ve had him in before the World Cup and probably had 3 or 4 wins more than we do now.

 

[Handball]

Amazing what having an actual, real football manager can do for a team low on confidence and no idea what they were doing.

 

[riddick]

I dont understand how its this drastic a change in just a week. Like, how hard is it to say "keep your shape" and have players listen?
