Everton v Arsenal, Saturday 19th March, BTS1, 12:45pm

[Kano]

Easy win

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Ozil hat trick?

[GP]

0-3

[Bumble]

didn't think anyone was going to bother.

we will now win our next 9 games to win the league as we have cleverly been knocked out of the cups. We just need to improve our efficiency 5% in front of goal and show good determination and focus at the back. the players will fight for every minute of every game as with the right attitude these things will be achieved. Walcott will become the player that he is when his contract is in the last 12 months.

4-0 Ozil 2 Sanchez 2

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Seriously we don't look like beating anyone, no confidence in front of goal, individual errors at the back

So can imagine us pottering about for most of the game, grabbing a goal we barely deserve and then going on to win comfortably.

It's because it's precisely what we don't look like being capable of at the moment.

But because Wenger can't lose this game, we won't.

[Marc Overmars]

It's about time we started to pub wins out again.

If we start quickly, 1-2.

If we ponder around without doing much then Lukaku and Barkley will athlete ball us to hell. 3-0.

[fakeyank]

3-1 loss.

Lukaku with 2 goals and one OG by Kos. Our goal will be scored by Giroud.

[Niall_Quinn]

Martinez to narrowly lose 5-6 to Wenger on touchline moaning.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

If we follow the trend of the last three seasons we won't lose as we have lost seven times already

[AFC Leveller]

3-1.

We will go down 2-0 early on, score on the 70th minute, chase the equalizer and get caught on the break for the 3rd.

[fakeyank]

3-1.

We will go down 2-0 early on, score on the 70th minute, chase the equalizer and get caught on the break for the 3rd.

But our spirit will be right. Only problem will be the handbrake.

[Letters]

Meh

[Özil's Panoramic View]

The Toffees to scrape this one. Cue wenker to then whip out the much recycled "leetle beet jaded" line.

[Power n Glory]

No idea what Arsenal will turn up. Starting 11 will probably be similar to the Barca game but with Campbell coming in for Iwobi, Coquelin for Flamini and Merts for Gabriel.

[AFC Leveller]

Elneny took a few shots, scored a good goal and overall had an impact so I expect him to be benched for this.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Only one change from Barcelona line up

Coquelin for Flamini

[RomfordPele]

2-1. We will ride our luck a bit, score a good goal against the run of play and hold on to the 80th minute looking faintly threatening on the break.

Then Wenger will summon all his experience of 20,000 subs, haul off Ozil and welbeck for defensive-minded players, Everton will come on to us and we will concede two late goals (lukaku and Barkley). Cue rapturous scenes in bt sport studios.

I am really looking forward to this one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[RomfordPele]

I am glad he's stuck with iwobi. Interested to see what the lad can do with a run in the team.

[Power n Glory]

Consistency for the line up.

[GP]

Good team.

[Gooner23]

Can't argue with the line up, probably our strongest right now. Campbell a little unlucky to be dropped but Iwobi has looked good.

[Niall_Quinn]

Only one change from Barcelona line up

Coquelin for Flamini

This is what I don't get about the guy. One minute he's pulling form players out of the line-up because they are little bit needle flickering on edge of red zone, next he's sending out unchanged line-ups in quick succession. Then he picks out certain individuals and plays them into the ground regardless. I think the team today is fine and I don't buy that players can't handle a couple of games a week. But why does his thinking on this flip from one extreme to the other?

Anyway, this team should have more than enough to beat a very ordinary Everton. If we can't turn up today then forget about turning up for the rest of the season. You would like to think the manager and players will look at this shambles of a season and quickly realise the only way to claw a bit of respect back is to win the next 9 games.

Because he doesn't know what he's doing, when results are going ok he stills with the same team and runs them into the ground and when it's not he panics and changes things.

The performance if not the result against Barcelona was decent, and although I'd swap Welbeck and Sanchez positionally, because Sanchez is becoming predictable with the cutting inside and Welbeck works his nuts off but couldn't finish a personalised pizza....or just get them to alternate would make sense.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton: Robles, Baines, Funes Mori, Jagielka, Coleman, McCarthy, Besic, Cleverley, Lennon, Barkley, Lukaku.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I think we will win today because we have to, we have left it too late to decide the outcome of the title and the likelihood is we will finish second or third because I think Leicester will do enough in their winnable games to cross the line

And I still think especially at home, the results won't come.....playing at its best this team could very well win all our remaining away fixtures but Watford, crystal palace, west Brom I'm not so confident.

But none the less if we win will be supporting Bournemouth and palace this weekend.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ashton has just said there are "3 or 4 voices in the media still supporting Wenger", but otherwise the support has gone. Don't know what that means. Does it matter who they "support"? As far as I can see they support whoever is winning and crucify the rest. He termed the fans' reactions as a "witch hunt".

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal you useless fucks.

[adzzzbatch]

I wonder how many minutes I'll be watching today until I switch it off.

[LDG]

I'd stick with my postings if you want unbiased coverage.

It's either that, or read Adz's posts which just go:

FUCK

or

YOU FUCKING CUNTS

or

OH JUST FUCK OFF

None of which tell me anything about the game.

"Oh just fuck off" does tend to cover a lot of our play.

You're straight to the point. No faffing around with BS. I appreciate that.

[Globalgunner]

Completely inured to the game today.
would be nice to win a game again though.

[Niall_Quinn]

Off we go. COYG!

[adzzzbatch]

Neary 1 down already :lol: :ilt:

[Munchies]

Just read that Everton have recently had

eight home games with only one win

COYG.

[Niall_Quinn]

Jesus, that was close. Coleman easily pulls off the defender and hits the post.

Great start :bow:

[adzzzbatch]

Just read that Everton have recently had

COYG.

form goes out the window when playing Arsenal.

[Munchies]

Neary 1 down already :lol: :ilt:

FFS one of those days

[Niall_Quinn]

Now Welbeck hits the post at the other end.

[adzzzbatch]

At least Welbeck looks up for it

[Niall_Quinn]

Good header by Kos there - though it was only Barkley so no danger.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gabriel stunning volley, nowhere near goal.

[adzzzbatch]

WTF Gabriel :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil corner, Gabriel clears wildly.

[Niall_Quinn]

So far we are pressing the ball. So that's good.

[adzzzbatch]

fucking shoot!

[adzzzbatch]

YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS

[Niall_Quinn]

Iwobi passed up the shot there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WELBECK!!!!

What a goal!

[A Gunner]

0 - 1 Welbeck

[adzzzbatch]

Lovely goal

[LDG]

Yes!!!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

Beautiful.

Ozil :bow:

Welbeck very composed. Good finish. Rounded the keeper well.

0-1

[Niall_Quinn]

Lovely ball by Alexis too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iwobi puts it right down Joel's throat.

[adzzzbatch]

Now we sit back and invite the equaliser :cool:

[Munchies]

GET IN LADS!

[LDG]

:doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Should have been 2. Iwobi hits it straight at the keeper.

But we are sweeping forward through the middle at pace. Who could have known that would work?

[AFC Leveller]

Should have been 2.

Welbeck will run in behind all afternoon and that goal shows why he is better than Giroud in away games.

[Munchies]

HD goal vid

https://streamable.com/t42k

[Niall_Quinn]

Fucking rubbish ref. Great play by Alexis. FK for nothing.

[AFC Leveller]

Should have been 2. Iwobi hits it straight at the keeper.

But we are sweeping forward through the middle at pace. Who could have known that would work?

Alexis moving to the right looks good, involved on everything so far.

[Maestro]

Very good goal I have to say, well worked and taken

[adzzzbatch]

Gabriel injured.

[adzzzbatch]

Lukaku was onside.

[Globalgunner]

Should have been 2.

Welbeck will run in behind all afternoon and that goal shows why he is better than Giroud in away games.

Not just away games. Giroud is incapable of such quick changes of direction as Welbeck showed there. Onwards and upwards hopefully

[Niall_Quinn]

So the tactics are to let them have the ball in their own third, press hard in the middle, win the possession and get it forward fast, first time, with Iwobi, Alexis and Welbeck breaking.

Not sure why we have tactics today but works for me.

[adzzzbatch]

That wrong offside call is all BT are going to talk about now.

[AFC Leveller]

We have looked up for it far, winning 50-50s and playing fast footy

[adzzzbatch]

Won the ball!! :rolleyes:

[adzzzbatch]

Yep Hoodle still going on about that offside call.

[Niall_Quinn]

Elneny looks very confident. How Wenger could claim he was not ready for this league is a bit of a mystery.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Too quick a move to be a far post cross.

[Özim]

We have looked up for it far, winning 50-50s and playing fast footy

No pressure now, probably the start of the small unbeaten run which will convince Wenger everything is great, the defence is perfect, we don't need a striker and all we need is another young CM.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well cleared by Gabriel.

[adzzzbatch]

Done sod all since we've scored. Same old same old whenever we take the lead.

[Niall_Quinn]

Our players don't hit the deck enough. We are being fouled on mostly every challenge but we get nothing because the players don't hit the deck. Unfortunately that's the game now.

[Munchies]

Elneny looks very confident. How Wenger could claim he was not ready for this league is a bit of a mystery.


Thank fuck Ramsey is injured

[adzzzbatch]

Alexis :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Bellerin has to concentrate. Giving the ball away too much.

[adzzzbatch]

Oh FFS international break coming up soon.

[adzzzbatch]

Bellerin has to concentrate. Giving the ball away too much.

So is Alexis.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor from Bellerin being offside there.

[adzzzbatch]

Bellerin offside that's careless

[Niall_Quinn]

Really poor by Bellerin. Offside. He should have crossed it before that anyway.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good move.

Özil. :bow:

[adzzzbatch]

Ozil had a shot :faint:

[Niall_Quinn]

Nice play again. Ozil and Iwobi at the heart of it.

[AFC Leveller]

Elneny looks and plays like a CM, he knows the role very well.

Take note ramsey.

[Niall_Quinn]

Really nice composure from Elneny. Had the backpass but rejected it and got the ball forward. Keep doing that and we're in business.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Besic combs it but saved.

[adzzzbatch]

Ospina can never hold on to the ball!!

[Globalgunner]

It was a great goal by Welbeck but hopefully without sounding churlish. It is the ONLY type of goal we seek to score. We need to vary our play to score every type of goal that opportunity springs on us. Those other goals count too. We sacrifice everything on the alter of creating these type of 1 in 20 game goals.

[Niall_Quinn]

Good to see us playing well and doing all the basic things well. Terribly frustrating trying to figure out why we haven't done it every match.

[adzzzbatch]

Poor from eleny

[Niall_Quinn]

This ref doesn't want to give us anything.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gabriel bit of a slicer behind.

[Maestro]

We're too much of a nervous team and certainly need another goal soon, or this game could turn on us

[Niall_Quinn]

Elneny wellies it out of the danger zone. Exactly how it should be.

[Niall_Quinn]

How is that a handball outside the box, but not inside? Inside there's seems to be a strange rule that if the ball is too close it's not handball.

[adzzzbatch]

We're too much of a nervous team and certainly need another goal soon, or this game could turn on us

If it does go 1-1 I don't think we've got it in us to respond, things could turn on it's head.

[adzzzbatch]

bellerin fouled ref plays on

[adzzzbatch]

everton give the ball away more than us :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Good strength by Gabriel against Lukaku.

[adzzzbatch]

Poor from alexis

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bit sloppy but a goal kick in the end.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fair to say Elneny is a very good footballer. Maybe the old dog hasn't gone totally blind yet.

[Niall_Quinn]

Great chasing back by Welbeck.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No pelanty given.

[adzzzbatch]

Clear foul on on alexis!!! not given

[adzzzbatch]

shit ref.

[Niall_Quinn]

Alexis down in the box. Hard to say if pen or not. Alexis certainly thought so. Azzzaaahhh certainly would have got it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good cross from Monreal, Jagielka clears.

[adzzzbatch]

Should've been a penalty, but alexis should've gone straight down.

[Niall_Quinn]

Yes. It was a pen. Not given because Alexis tried to stay on his feet. Like I said, we need to play the game and hit the deck right away.

[adzzzbatch]

"owen says you can always stay on your feet"

Like he always did? :rolleyes:

[GP]

What on earth is Owen trying to say?

Gibberish.

[Niall_Quinn]

These commentators are hilarious. "Yes there was contact but no pen for me."

[Niall_Quinn]

What on earth is Owen trying to say?

Gibberish.

And that's different, how?

[Niall_Quinn]

This ref is utter shit.

[adzzzbatch]

YYYYYYESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[McNamara That Ghost...]

IWOBI!!!!!

[A Gunner]

0 - 2 Iwobi

[AFC Leveller]

Yesssssss

Iwobi

[GP]

Stunning!!

[Niall_Quinn]

This is good defending.

[adzzzbatch]

Brilliant IWOBI!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

What a fabulous goal from Iwobi.

[adzzzbatch]

Lovely composure from the young lad!

[Power n Glory]

We are flying!

[Niall_Quinn]

This kid has so much composure it's crazy.

Are you watching Theo?

Direct football :bow:

[Maestro]

Brilliant fucking brilliant goal, been a while since we scored one of those

Settle down now and smash these cunts

PS* Iwobi to be benched for next match

[Niall_Quinn]

Perfect time to score.

Theo :getcoat:

[Globalgunner]

this is vintage Arsenal footie. Back to front in 5 seconds to scoring. More of it please.

[AFC Leveller]

We look good, we are in control.

It can't go wrong from here surely...

[Munchies]

Iwobi has already done more than Feo's whole career here!

[Niall_Quinn]

Shoot! Welbeck :doh:

Should have been 3.

[Maestro]

This kid has so much composure it's crazy.

Are you watching Theo?

Direct football :bow:

Direct Football, exactly what we need but watch Iwobi get benched for that next game

[adzzzbatch]

ooooooooooo!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iwobi shanks it wide, good play though.

[adzzzbatch]

COME ON ARSENAL!!!!!

[GP]

Massive confidence right now. It's a joy to watch.

Typical that's it's too late.

[Niall_Quinn]

Good movement and passing again. Iwobi a bit wide with the shot but Iwobi, Welbeck working so well together.

[Munchies]

Iwobi goal

https://streamable.com/p1hz

[selassie]

We've been superb today, offensively we look very good!

[Globalgunner]

Massive confidence right now. It's a joy to watch.

Typical that's it's too late.

Never too late to secure our 4th place

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 HT. :scarf:

[Niall_Quinn]

DO NOT!!!! DO NOT SHUT THIS DOWN in the second half Wenger.

[Niall_Quinn]

HT 0-2

So we can pass So we can move. So we can play the ball forward. So we can finish.

So what the fuck has been going on around here?

[adzzzbatch]

Played well in that half! Great to get the second before the break! Let's finish them off in the 2nd half!!

[selassie]

Iwobi has already done more than Feo's whole career here!

Theo & Ox won't get a look in if Iwobi continues with this form, the boy is the real deal!

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil, of course, has quietly linked everything. Elneny looks like a proper midfield general. Seems to have more time on the ball than everyone around him.

[Maestro]

Massive confidence right now. It's a joy to watch.

Typical that's it's too late.

Quite typical, but also enjoyable watching now without any expectation or pressure. I think we'll actually put in some very good performances now till the end of the season.

[Niall_Quinn]

Quite typical, but also enjoyable watching now without any expectation or pressure. I think we'll actually put in some very good performances now till the end of the season.

We're out of everything. So now we can play. Bit of a worry really.

[adzzzbatch]

That fouls committed stat :lol:

[RomfordPele]

Great stuff Arsenal. Should have had a penalty too.

It will be depressing to see iwobi get dropped the second Ramsey is fit again. And more imminently subbed for Gibbs at 72 mins when wenger's laptop pings.

Let's hope the lads can put the game beyond wenger's reach before then.

[Niall_Quinn]

That fouls committed stat :lol:

Ref was shite from start to finish.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Ozil, of course, has quietly linked everything. Elneny looks like a proper midfield general. Seems to have more time on the ball than everyone around him.

The stat machine that recommended buying him earns a new contract then. When will AI be able to manage a football club?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

Besic off, Stones on.

:unsure:

[Niall_Quinn]

When the team plays well and entertains then the trophies and all that shit fade out. I think that's all most of the fans are asking for - entertain me!

More now please. Let's have a 4-0 instead of a 2-1

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iwobi. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shocking from Cleverley.

[adzzzbatch]

That should've been a booking.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wild swing by Cleverley. No card. Let's see what happens if Coquelin does that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Özil offside, not good.

[adzzzbatch]

Ozil should've checked his run

[AFC Leveller]

Not sure who is a worse crosser of the ball, Bellerin or clichy when he was here. No pace, no whip nothing.

[adzzzbatch]

Now that should be a booking too!

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger animated on the touchline.

I think I know what's happened here. He's been quietly replaced by somebody who looks just like him.

[adzzzbatch]

Wellbeck should've done better there

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Welbz, just shoot there - even if he goes out the ground.

[Niall_Quinn]

Welbeck could have been a bit sharper there. Stones is £50mill btw.

[adzzzbatch]

Get Alexis off.

[Master Splinter]

Numerous nasty Everton fouls going unpunished against soft Arsenal.

Undisciplined Arsenal player to be sent off for first tackle.

[adzzzbatch]

Coq :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coquelin volleys it, over.

[Niall_Quinn]

Lovely play again. Worth a go from Coquelin. Shame about the execution.

[AFC Leveller]

Alexis looks he had never played football before.

[Niall_Quinn]

Numerous nasty Everton fouls going unpunished against soft Arsenal.

Undisciplined Arsenal player to be sent off for first tackle.

Do you remember that two footed lunge by Gabriel? Just focus on that and ignore the rest.

[adzzzbatch]

Alexis looks he had never played football before.

He's been very disappointing and not for the first time.

[Niall_Quinn]

This Everton team are there for a hiding. Let's press on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Lennon gives himself a FK and the ref goes along with it.

[adzzzbatch]

Odd clearance from Kos

[AFC Leveller]

The home crowd are booing every misplaced pass or shot and the players feel ir.

Let's get a third lads and bury this game.

[Niall_Quinn]

We're playing deeper this half. Why :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sexy play from Bellerin and Iwobi in the last five minutes or so.

[adzzzbatch]

Poor from Iwobi

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Although not there from Iwobi.

[Niall_Quinn]

Iwobi :doh:

Ooops. And Ozil offside too.

Concentration has dropped.

[adzzzbatch]

What a horrible sounding investor this moroshi guy is wanting to spend money to improve the club and team, that sort of shit wouldn't fly at Arsenal.

[Niall_Quinn]

The manager and the players need to get that it's the performance that is more important. The points will come if the performance is there. Fuck the points. Forget about them. Just play the 90 minutes and get as many goals as possible. That's where genuine momentum and confidence comes from. We have 8 games left. No point conserving energy. Just go for it please.

[Maestro]

we seem to be waiting for the toffees to score

[Globalgunner]

You never know when GD could be useful. Lets fill our boots

[adzzzbatch]

Bellerin clearly fouled nothing given!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

What a horrible sounding investor this moroshi guy is wanting to spend money to improve the club and team, that sort of shit wouldn't fly at Arsenal.

Probably why he left. He was Usmanovs partner. He also covered their debt when he took over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bellerin with the full Dani Alves there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Baines. :haha:

[Maestro]

You never know when GD could be useful. Lets fill our boots

we're on course for 4th so no need to get greedy, forget the title that's gone

[Niall_Quinn]

Gabriel doing very well against Lukaku so far.

[adzzzbatch]

Good work by Kos

[Niall_Quinn]

Foul on Ozil. Play on.

[Maestro]

for 63 minutes Kos and Gabriel have effectively dealt with Lukaku

[adzzzbatch]

Careless by Iwobi in possession.

[Niall_Quinn]

LOL :haha:

Our throw. So throw to Everton :haha:

[adzzzbatch]

another foul on bellerin

[Niall_Quinn]

Great pressure, all the way down the field.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lukaku just killed Ospina.

[AFC Leveller]

Ospina dead

[adzzzbatch]

Careless from Arsenal.

[Niall_Quinn]

Down goes the Everton player again. FK by default.

Horrible collision between Ospina and Lukaku.

[Kano]

That's gonna hurt like shit in the morning.

[adzzzbatch]

Ospina shaking his head I don't think he can play on

[Niall_Quinn]

Can Ospina carry on here? Risky.

[adzzzbatch]

Iwobi keeps losing the ball now.

[Niall_Quinn]

Okay this is a bit crazy. How can Ospina carry on, unless he's faking it?

[Maestro]

Get Ospina off he's crocked

[adzzzbatch]

What a let off!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ospina can't move and we still have him on the pitch.

[adzzzbatch]

Should be 1-2

[Maestro]

get the fucking keeper off ffs

[Niall_Quinn]

Arsene! Wakey, wakey! You're up! Make the sub.

[adzzzbatch]

Come on Wenger you dick!

[Niall_Quinn]

Why don't we get the FKs that every other fucking team gets? Is it a rule?

WENGER! Check the laptop. Time for a sub. Little bit flashing red zone for Ospina.

[Maestro]

everton will score next

[AFC Leveller]

Keeper will.cost us. He looks broken

[adzzzbatch]

Giroud coming on

[adzzzbatch]

We've turned to shit.

[Niall_Quinn]

Is this set to be a classic WUMger moment?

[adzzzbatch]

Ozil has decided he's had enough now.

[Niall_Quinn]

Foul on Ozil. Play on!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barkley hauled off, Deulofeu on.

[adzzzbatch]

gibbs and giroud WHY?

[Maestro]

we're amazing, just enough to get 4th place ....we'll just about escape with three points here if we're lucky, after having started so brightly

[AFC Leveller]

Ozil little bit 10 months ankle sprain.

Gibbs coming on

[Niall_Quinn]

You see, this is where Wenger kills us. Normal thing to do is quickly sub the keeper and get on with the game. The delay and the uncertainty has given Everton momentum.

Now the idiot is bringing on Bif and Gibbs.

He's a fucking tool, he really is.

[adzzzbatch]

Why Wellbeck?

[Maestro]

wenger is an idiot

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Welbz off, Bif on.

Özil off, Gibbs on. :unsure:

[adzzzbatch]

Iwobi keeps giving the ball away now I'd have taken him off!

[Niall_Quinn]

There goes Welbeck. Astonishing.

And I wonder who he planned to bring off until Ozil got a knock? Iwobi I bet.

Fucking tool of a manager. He HATES momentum.

[AFC Leveller]

Gibbs always looks like he has just come out the barber shop.

[Maestro]

There goes Welbeck. Astonishing.

And I wonder who he planned to bring off until Ozil got a knock? Iwobi I bet.

Fucking tool of a manager. He HATES momentum.

he doesn't hate momentum, he has no fucking idea what it is, amongst other things

[Niall_Quinn]

Now we drop deep and revert to tippy tappy. Just like the Liverpool game that started the rot.

Lessons learned? Not on your life.

[Kano]

Still defending well despite the inevitable upturn in pressure from the home side. Very good performance so far in all respects.
