Loss PL: Everton 2-1 Arsenal | Monday 6th December | KO: 20:00 GMT | Sky Sports

That was a very poor performance against the worst united team since LVG. Truly horrible. I'd take a thrashing from Liverpool or city over that that performance any day of the week. We seemed to drop 20 yards back after scoring each of our goals.

Everton are in poor form currently. Evertonians wants Rafa's head on a pike. Should be winning this easily but I think we'll take an early lead and the rise out the storm the rest of the game similar to the Leicester game.

Everton has been dire. I don't want to see that trademark cautious football. Let's go for the jugular.

Think Arteta will have to drop Auba. It's just criminal man management to continue playing him and letting take all the flak. This was one of wenger's best strength. He was extremely good at taking out his players from the firing line and taking the bullet for them.

Push Martinelli forward and play Laca behind him. But I don't think that would happen.

Think Lokonga will take his place beside Partey in midfield or we might see Tierney back for this.



Prediction: A drab, boring win

Everton 0-1 Arsenal

 

[Blankety Blank]

Would like to see Tavares on the bench even if Artetablog think he is "fun to watch ".

Most on here seem to think KT is too pale & overrated.

They lack football knowledge, like Arteta and Merson.

 

[Gunnerineverylife]

Who is going to start up top though, Auba's starting going by what Arteta was saying I guess, need to buy a striker ASAP.

 

[Riou]

Do current players from different leagues, who have no affiliation with either club...ever do pre match on sky sports?

Odd from Haaland, wouldn't be too happy with this if I was Dortmund.

 

[Gunnerineverylife]

Haaland is an odd dude

 

[Sanchez11]

Id play Pepe up top just for sh1ts an giggles!!

Laying the ground work for a move to Everton.

 

[Gunnerineverylife]

Or to newcastle?

I will give ya Merson lol

 

[Papa Wonga]

Arteta ain't got the bollocks to drop Aubameyang, it'll be Auba up top doing nothing with Gabi supporting from the left, Saka right and martin in behind.

Pepe subbed on 89th minute when 2-1 down

Then after the game Queue for "Pepe is Garbage mate" even tho he's had 3 minutes to change a game round.

 

[Hunta]

Haaland as the MNF guest is weird. Must have agreed a move to Citeh or United, Sky moving mad.

 

[Jury]

Will be massively shocked if we win today.

You and many other micro-dicked road sweepers thought we should be battering Man Utd at Old Traffiord, and yet you’ll be massively shocked if we beat Everton…

What’s wrong here?

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Hear hear. I don’t agree with him on some things but he is rational and doesn’t flip flop on his opinions. Moderator potential in my book, when one of the current four year-term ends

Moderators are elected in 4 year cycles right? Otherwise not a democratic forum in my book

Your favourite delicacy I heard? @Riou

I can see the signs of us entering a rut. You haven’t got the eye for that sort of stuff, some people know ball and some don’t, don’t hate the player, hate the game.

 

[razörist]

Feels like failure tonight. Auba needs benching.

A day after getting beaten by the their title rivals in a huge derby?

Very sus mentality imo. Not sure I’d take him here tbh. DCL would never.

 

[Papa Wonga]

Brings tears to my eye seeing the in-fighting on the Mania,

Damn you Mikel, damn you

 

[razörist]

Ramsdale
Tomi White Gabriel Tierney
Partey Lokonga
Saka Ødegaard ESR
Martinelli

I don’t see what Auba is offering that Gabigol won’t at this point. Let’s unleash him up front. With Saka and ESR either side of him that should terrorise Everton’s feeble back four.

White owes us a much better performance, we should reintroduce KT3 for a bit of solidity and I think we missed Lokonga’s inventive passing against Yanited.

We should win this.

I support this. What a lineup. Elite attack + whatever Martin Ö. feels like on the day.

Arteta won't bench Auba. He'll keep him on and hide behind him.
