Everton v Arsenal - Sat 19th March 12:45

Match day chat.

Lose this, and that's us out of contention for the PL and clinging to the top 4. Everton have the wind in their sales at the moment, but if we play at least 60% of our full capability we should win comfortably.

I'm going with 1-3. Alexis, Elneny and Giroud with the goals, qith Ozil registering an assist.

EDIT FROM THE FUTURE: Well, we lost 2-0. Who saw that coming. WENGER OUT.

 

[The Iron]

3-1 Everton

Arsenal, knackered and demoralised after taking a hiding in another country 60-odd hours previously, show great character and quality to seal a win which keeps their title challenge going.

Lol jks

Would love for us to win this game.

Btw if we don't then we'll have won 4 from 16 games. Not very good IMO.

 

[JimJams]

Would love Everton to put Arsenal to bed. And though I think Everton are well capable I think the Gunners will claw back a win after going behind. BTTS surely?

 

[Stevencc]

Did Giroud kick Wenger's cat or something?

 

[Stevencc]

Of course Welbeck goes on to get an early goal after I said that.

Lovely move.

The match has started at 100mph with both teams defending shockingly.

 

[NorthernSoul]

Great pass and move football from Arsenal for the goal, very poor from Funes Mori though. Breaks out of the defensive line ball chasing, leaves a huge gap for the ball to be threaded through for Welbeck to score. Keep your shape and that ball gets blocked and its still level.

 

[Whitechapel]

Everton likely won't stay this shit the whole game. We need a second goal.

 

[JimJams]

Iwobi obliges WC.

#betterthanrashford?

 

[Whitechapel]

Iwobi is the best young prospect in world football history.

 

[Whitechapel]

Ever.

 

[Mustard]

Pleasantly surprised at the performance so far. Was expecting a CL hangover. Hopefully we don't tire in the second.

 

[G-Dragon]

But but Barkley???

 

[GodsGift]

Everton have conceded more goals at home this season than Villa.

 

[JimJams]

But but Barkley???

Got called up to the England side mate, did Coutinho? No. Not even Hodgson rates him.

If Coutinho was English, he'd get a call up. If Barkley was Brazilian... He'd still be playing in the favelas.

 

[JimJams]

Ospina squished.

 

[JimJams]

Cleverley is fucking shit. Get your money on him to grab a consolation!

 

[Whitechapel]

When you're playing against the weakest team of the season, and don't even need to try.

 

[JimJams]

Comfortable win for Arsenal. Everton offered nothing once they were two down and even before that they weren't particularly threatening.
Frustrating day for Lukaku.

 

[Mustard]

Good performance, the quartet of Gabriel/Koscielny/Coq/Elneny were very solid which is what we've been lacking the past few weeks. Helped that we actually took our chances. Sanchez looks better on the right, far less predictable. Should have had a pen. Iwobi is decent, and Welbeck has looked great recently. Hopefully Özil is just an impact injury. We go again.

Oh, and Everton were shocking. Massive lack of confidence, Lukaku was feeding off scraps.

 

[Stevencc]

Mustard summed it up well. Good performance from Arsenal, Everton were dire and Lukaku had nothing at all to work with.

These full-kit wankers are taking things too far now.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

Martinez surely has to go. They're not even fighting for him any more.

 

[JimJams]

I don't think I've seen someone change to a 3 at the back during a game and literally play out the match in the exact same way as before the change.

Wow that's pretty Damning to be worse than Villa
