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

Where are the idiots from the Utd game thread acting like we made some sort of progress now that everyone's punching bag in Everton play us off the pitch?

 

[GDeep™]

Idk man jumping and landing with your studs on someone's face seems pretty dangerous to me

Not sure, it’s football after all, this isn’t ballet.

 

[rockofcashel]

literally put to sleep for most of this so far

 

[berric]

Is there any player Arteta actually improved since he arrived?

 

[andeoch1]

Partey has to be off at half time

 

[kofigunner]

Partey looks very different from when he plays for Ghana. He’s a lot more aggressive on the ball

 

[Lady_Gooner]

Is Vinai watching?

He’s seen the last 2 years and the manager still has a job. Probably thinks this is thrilling

 

[Rimaal]

Have we had a shot?

No.

 

[Trilly]

we’ll probably win but why can’t our board see that this clearly isn’t good enough?

We want to be a top four team right? What top four team would serve this up? Have we had a shot on target against a team that hasn’t won in eight games?

 

[vantoure]

Godfrey must be walking a thin line now though

 

[Batman]

Is there any player Arteta actually improved since he arrived?

Saliba.

 

[CaseUteinberger]

Yes, that can happen in a contact sport.

Replay is pretty clear, no intent at all to do that

**** off! How the hell can you tell that from watching it on TV? You are just trolling again!

 

[Hleb's Sirush]

This is unwatchable. We can't dominate any team...no matter how crap they are.

Everton on worst run in 27 years, getting routinely spanked 4-1 at home by the likes of Watford. Yet they are comfortably the better team so far. How is that even possible. Depressing stuff

 

[GDeep™]

Good to see Xhaka back in the team to lift our game!

Don’t do that, he’s come back from a 2 month injury.

 

[Heavy Duty Rom]

Ødegaard has been class. Everyone else has not.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Playing like ass here

 

[2Smokeyy]

The players could have made more of that, if that had happened to an acquaintance of mine I’d have been livid

Would Guendouzi have that?

Never.

 

[El Duderino]

Is Vinai watching?

Arteta has him cleaning Mikel’s office during match days. Must be spotless or else Vinai has to sleep on the company van.

 

[A_G]

Not sure, it’s football after all, this isn’t ballet.

Players get sent off for stamping all the time, doesn't have to be intentional

 

[mirrorstares]

First sub has to be Ødegaard, sackable performance
