Everton v Arsenal, Tuesday 13th December, BTS1

[Kano]

Tough one this. Everton have been garbage recently but haven't lost a game at home yet.

Mustafi out for three weeks. Rambo also has another hamstring strain.

6 games coming up in the next 28 days, so it doesn't get any easier.

[GP]

0-3

[Marc Overmars]

Us against Koeman. :sick:

1-1

[Master Splinter]

Neverton look so limited and one-paced this season. At least under Martinez they would pose a threat consistently going forward.

Even if Koeman gets them to raise their game for this, it should really be a win. We're away from home, so we should have more space if Everton attack. If it was at The Emirates, I'd fully expect the bus. But at Goodison, they'll surely have to have a go.

1-3.

[Goonermerree]

A cold night match in December oop north? I'm sitting on the fence in terms of this result. Can see us winning, can see them winning- it'll probably be a draw! But don't quote me on that.

[AFC Leveller]

Koeman usually does a job on us and will have his team up for this as usual. However we are the form team and should win this if we turn up and perform like we can.

1-2 or 2-2.

Mustafi has been underwhelming, and a Ramsey injury should be cause for celebration.

[Kano]

You've got quite the knack at being consistently wrong. I like it.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

You've got quite the knack at being consistently wrong. I like it.

Really?.....so Ramsey has been good for us this season....and we haven't been more likely to get positive results when he isn't in the side?.

Ramsey's super season three seasons ago was an outlier, he isn't a terrible player but there is an element of Wenger unable to get the best out of him, and an even bigger element in that he does not in anyway fit into our style of play and never has....he is too slow and his first touch is too suspect. Probably a multitude of sides he could play for where he would be performing a lot better than for us.

Not saying Mustafi is a bad player, just i think he hasn't exactly been amazing either. I think with Gabriel playing we are covered in that position until he comes back after xmas so i'm not too worried about him either.

The biggest concern is keeping Ozil and Sanchez fit.

It's fine that you think i'm wrong, because i think most of the opinions you offer (which you don't, you tend to critique others) are flabby nonsense anyway.

[Goonermerree]

Gabriel seems to be more solid and less volatile, long may it continue.

That was too easy tbh

[AFC Leveller]

Gabriel seems to be more solid and less volatile, long may it continue.

Gabriel has struggled with strong targetman like strikers before (remember he was bullied by a Norwich nobody a few years ago) and I'm not confident having his m deal with Lukaku (Everton will most likely play through Gabby then Kos)

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Let's be honest has Mustafi been any better muscling people off the ball, and Gabriel dealt quite well with Lukaku when we played up there in March.....I think Mustafi has a better footballing brain but Gabriel is physically stronger and quicker than Mustafi and i think he offers a better aerial presence so i am not worried about him playing full stop.

What i am worried about is Wenger, in Everton tomorrow and City on Sunday we have two sides who are vulnerable and we should be going for the jugular but Wenger will play safety first especially against City.

Who else would you put in there then?

[fakeyank]

3-0 loss

[fakeyank]

Mustafi has been underwhelming, and a Ramsey injury should be cause for celebration.

I dont agree about Mustafi, but 200% agree on Ramsey. He can be out for the rest of the season. Gracias!

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I dont agree about Mustafi, but 200% agree on Ramsey. He can be out for the rest of the season. Gracias!

Don't get me wrong, I generally think a defender from a different league takes a season or so to fully settle into the premier league so it's not real reflection on Mustafi on the whole. I don't think he's been terrible either, but when we have made a defensive blunder it's generally been him more than Koscielny.

[Marc Overmars]

Mustafi reminds me of Kos when he first joined. He has a tendency to go charging out and sometimes leaves gaps at the back, I'm sure he'll refine his game like Kos eventually did.

Gabriel is more than capable of slotting in for the Christmas period.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

They're a bit shit.

1-4.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

They're a bit shit.

1-4.

You're a bit shit at the moment, wish we were playing you guys the way you are defending Currently

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

You're a bit shit at the moment, wish we were playing you guys the way you are defending Currently

I wouldn't worry, we'll be defending like that in March as well.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Gabs has definitely looked more mature and maybe the right back adjustment has helped hone his overall skills.

I am happy for either, Gabs or Holding to play. I enjoy any excuse to see Holding play as I think he has the makings of a fine player.

[Goonermerree]

I don't think we should play Holding in tonight's match, not as a starter. IMO Chambers was ruined by covering injuries and playing out of position too often, he wasn't up to it and his confidence was shot. He's another that I doubt will make it at Arsenal. I hope we bring Holding on as we should, as a young player with potential who needs nurturing.

Agreed, i think he has good potential but why unnecessarily throw him in at the deep end when we had more than adequate cover in Gabriel

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

The last side to win at Goodison Park in the league was us.

[Maestro]

Well at least he's put out the strongest line up possible

[Goonermerree]

A cold night up north, a team that is on a bad run, and us being the last team to beat them at Goodison, we can go top if we win. The kind of game we usually lose...

Come on Arsenal!!!!:scarf:

[Kano]

We need to watch out for foulbot Barry tonight.

Usually does just enough to avoid being booked despite spending the whole game kicking everyone's ankles.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Czk9VDeXEAEJAfV.jpg

Everton XI to face @Arsenal: Stekelenburg, Coleman, Baines, Jagielka, Williams, Gana, McCarthy, Lennon, Valencia, Barkley, Lukaku.

[Kano]

No Barry, thank fuck.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Not sure that's a good thing. He's pretty slow and shit these days. Could have seen Alexis and co running rings around him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal!!!!:scarf:

Our record in the north has mostly been brilliant recently. At least in terms of not losing.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

It has been good but conversely our record against Koeman teams hasn't been that great, even if they aren't doing well.

We got thrashed 4 - 0 by Southampton round about this time last year despite them being on a similar poor run of form at the time as Everton are on right now.

God I hope the same thing doesn't happen again tonight. :sick:

[GP]

Ace Stream

[Goonermerree]

Damn, I knew it was too good to be true, tried to get Acestream up but got a message saying dll part of the programme is missing.

[Goonermerree]

It's going to be one of those stop/start nights again.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Yeah my Acestream was stuck on prebuffering at 0%.

Got Navisports working fine though atm. Will try it again later.

[Kano]

Just under Mesut's feet, nicely worked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Williams. :lol:

Scrote.

[Penguin]

Jagielka jumps all over Alexis then wins the free kick?

[Goonermerree]

From a good start, now they're on us.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Xhaka's ability to pick the ball from the defence and start attacks is so vital for us. We lost that massively when Santi was out.

[Master Splinter]

No bullshit non-pelanty awarded against us yet?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Give it time MS ... though I do rate Battenberg as a ref.

Dominating possession here. Everton happy to sit back.

[Kano]

Nicely done by Coquelin to earn that FK.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Good ball over to Monreal. Well cleared by Williams.

FK to us on the edge.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to us.

[Kano]

Williams takes out his own man :lol:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Gueye is dead.

[Kano]

Alexis!!!

[Goonermerree]

Sanchez!!!!

[Penguin]

Xhaka's ability to pick the ball from the defence and start attacks is so vital for us. We lost that massively when Santi was out.

He plays a little too safe and sideways for me. I'd like him to be a bit more positive and drive us forward more.

[Master Splinter]

ALEXIS!!!

[Kano]

Williams again :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ALEXIS!!!!

[GP]

Get in!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Williams should be off for that disgraceful tackle on his own man.

Now he has chucked one in for us. :lol:

[Thierrymon]

Yaaaaaaaaay. My shitty stream froze just as that hit the keeper. Had no idea if it was a goal or not.

[Master Splinter]

Fat Frank would be proud of that beautiful double-deflected free-kick.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Good stuff. :lol:

After the dodgy pelnalties given against us recently about time we got some luck.

[Penguin]

Williams should be off for that disgraceful tackle on his own man.

Now he has chuecked one in for us. :lol:

Why was his boot that high? If that hit one of our players...

[The Emirates Gallactico]

He plays a little too safe and sideways for me. I'd like him to be a bit more positive and drive us forward more.

It'll probably come with time. His passing is certainly very progressive though ...... definitely more than the likes of Elneny and Coq.

[GP]

:lol:

I love Alexis

[Master Splinter]

Nicely done by Coquelin to earn that FK.

Coq is our most 'cultured' player. Always throws himself skyward and adds some good screams too. Hope he keeps it up.

[Kano]

Lennon :lol:

[Munchies]

It was full on Gueye's knee.

[Goonermerree]

Kos struggling

[Kano]

Solid defending so far.

[Kano]

Kos struggling

Does that mean the same as two nil?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Kos struggling

Just a blow to his arse. He'll run it off kos he's proper hard.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Lennon confuses himself. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lennon. :haha:

Still the same.

[Munchies]

where's NQ

[Thierrymon]

Lennon's beard :haha:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

where's NQ

He'll be back if Everton equalise. :ninja:

Along with Zim.

[Goonermerree]

Everton getting on the attack again. Come on Arsenal!!!

[Goonermerree]

Can we keep a clean sheet tonight?????

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Lukakau blazes over.

[Thierrymon]

My stream just turned into some spannish guy playing Fifa.....

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hope we score, the Everton fans are annoying me going mental for no reason.

[Penguin]

Gabriel backs off too much. Needs to get slightly closer to make it hard to get an free shot away.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What the hell Monreal? :lol:

Lennon. :lol:

[Penguin]

Oh Nacho... :doh:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Corner to us.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Got to say the extra work done by Theo and Ox on the flanks this season has been fantastic. Both came back quickly on that Everton counter.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

McCarthy you scorte!!!

[Kano]

Coquelin is our warrior in the middle of the field.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Run at McCarthy!

[Penguin]

How many times do we want to give the ball back to them outside our area? Just boot it out if you're not sure FFS!

[The Emirates Gallactico]

FFS should have been a red. Completely ridicolous on Xhaka.

IF that was Xhaka .....

[Kano]

Bollocks

[The Emirates Gallactico]

1 - 1

FUCK!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah balls.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Free header.

Amazing cross though from Baines. Theo didn't close it down fast enough.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fuck that. Just fucking tuned in.

Have we been defending as miserably as that all night?

[Munchies]

Fuck that. Just fucking tuned in.

Have we been defending as miserably as that all night?

Great to have you with us!

:popcorn:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

He'll be back if Everton equalise. :ninja:


:gp:


:lol:

[Goonermerree]

That's been coming tbh. They've had a few near misses

[Penguin]

It was coming. We deserved that for defending like amateurs.

[Kano]

These Everton fans are getting on my fucking nerves.

1-1, HT

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Half Time.

Haven't created enough tbh.

[Goonermerree]

Sigh, no clean sheet - again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 HT. There's no control from Everton, red incoming I say.

[Kano]

Bit of handbags as they walk off.

Time to get really fucked off in the changing rooms, go back out there and shove it right up their fucking holes.

[Niall_Quinn]

Isn't it weird how Everton can harry and barge like Ox just did - and that's called good play, putting the pressure on.

When we do it, different story.

Toffee Pubbers don't get you have to stop the shoving, barging and hacking during the half time break. They probably do it on the bus home and in bed with the missus.

[AFC Leveller]

Everton are there for the taking, they are all over the place defensively and we should win this if we stop pissing about.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Williams is carrying a bit of timber and Jaguelka is rash.....need to make these fat fuhks pay.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Always hate playing a team after a bad result for them. You can see they're really riled up and motivated for this game to make amends for that.

[Goonermerree]

We need to put some pace into our attack. Walking around just passing it. Chuck them out of their comfort zone.

[Ernesto]

Always hate playing a team after a bad result for them. You can see they're really riled up and motivated for this game to make amends for that.

Haven't we kinda derailed Liverpool's title challenge by doing the same thing? We got Bournemouth and West Ham really angry in consecutive weeks

I really hate Koeman, though. Fat Benny Hill, David Platt-fouling cheating twat.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

True I suppose.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Good movement. Theo and Alexis not getting it right at the end.

[Goonermerree]

Come on Arsenal!! Score and shut the crowd up. And the commentators

[Goonermerree]

Too much tippy tappy again

[GP]

Lennon looks like the shoe bomber

[Kano]

Should've got that one target Mesut.

[Niall_Quinn]

Damn, that's a bad miss. We could pay big for that one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh Mesut.

[Master Splinter]

Ozil :doh:.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Come on Ozil, earn your 240k a week!

[Niall_Quinn]

Such a stupid foul by Coqelin - absolute braindead football.

[Goonermerree]

Ox - does all the hard work and looks good, then loses it. oh ozil that should have been on target

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Fuck FK to Everton in Baines area.

Bad FK to give away.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fortunately it was Barkley taking the FK.

[Penguin]

Baines got past Xhaka sooooo easily. He's like a statue at times.

[Kano]

Just a little over hit by Bellerin.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Baines got past Xhaka sooooo easily. He's like a statue at times.

Only major weakness of his game: lack of mobility at times when defending.

[Master Splinter]

Ozil should have a hat-trick.

We're going from efficient to super inefficient.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Ozil should have a hat-trick.

We're going from efficient to super inefficient.

Can;t blame him for that one. Bellerin over hit the pass by a fraction.

[Goonermerree]

come on Arsenal, too close form Berkely

[Kano]

Barkley shoots just wide.

World class. Absolute world class. The way he aimed beyond the goal was superb.

[Niall_Quinn]

Not a foul, but another stupid challenge by Coq. An enemy ref would have lapped that up.

[Kano]

I think Lucas would thrive in this game. But doubt we'll see him.

[Goonermerree]

Come on Arsenal, ten mins hard work, two goals, job done.

[Goonermerree]

Too many loose balls out of defence, we got sloppy.

[Niall_Quinn]

5 mins until Bif.

[Kano]

No one there for Coquelin.

We need Bif for this one I think, time to get in some crosses.

[Goonermerree]

Great run into the box by Coq, Theo, make yourself available.

[Kano]

We keep getting into really good wide positions but no one there in the middle to capitalise.

[Goonermerree]

3 mins to sub time.

[GP]

We keep getting into really good wide positions but no one there in the middle to capitalise.

Need Giroud on.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Miralles on for Lennon.

[Kano]

Need Giroud on.

Yep time to get the ball off the ground.

[Niall_Quinn]

Didn't realise Theo was playing. But he's officially not in the game now.

[Niall_Quinn]

Not marking Lukaku. What could that possibly be about?

[Goonermerree]

We're just giving the ball away all the time.

[Niall_Quinn]

What a dreadful attempt at a break :doh:

Fucking atrocious.

[Niall_Quinn]

BT commentators are beginning to believe.

[Goonermerree]

Come on , calm down

[Goonermerree]

Good effort Iwobi

[Niall_Quinn]

Unlucky Iwobi. But it's taking 15 minutes of tip tapping to get an effort on goal. We bring Bif on and then start tip tapping even more.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor from Bif being offside there.

[Goonermerree]

Unlucky Iwobi. But it's taking 15 minutes of tip tapping to get an effort on goal. We bring Bif on and then start tip tapping even more.

We have reverted to tippy tappy I'm afraid, that's why Everton have grown in confidence and now believe they can win this.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Come on lads, for the love of god someone become a hero tonight!

[Niall_Quinn]

Jesus FC - Iwobi gets the ball, the man ahead of him instead of running starts coming back to the ball. It's a fucking joke.

[Goonermerree]

Time after time, we give away possession

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Don't think we're going to do this tonight lads. Everton look more likely to score than us right now. :(

[Goonermerree]

Sanchez loses possession at their end, now they have a threatening free kick.

[Niall_Quinn]

Time after time, we give away possession

If we're going to give the ball way, give it away in the danger zone. Lump the fucker up and make some demands of Giroud.

Kos booked.

[Goonermerree]

Don't think we're going to do this tonight lads. Everton look more likely to score than us right now. :(

Everton have looked the better team for most of this match.

[Kano]

Cunts

[Goonermerree]

2-1

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Fucking hell Cech saves us!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cech. :bow:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

FUCK OFFF!!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

First - wasn't a corner.

Good save from the no-corner by Cech.

And there it is from the follow-up to the non-corner.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

2 - 1 wILLIAMS :DOH:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 Williams. Shite.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

FUCKING BOLLOCKS

FUCK OFF BLATTENBERG!

FUCK OF KOEMAN!

[Goonermerree]

Everton could hardly get the ball for the first 15 mins or so, but we reverted to tippy tappy - again, gave them confidence and now they have the 2 points. The rubbish out of form team, beat the the on form team

[Niall_Quinn]

We aren't getting 2.

Another sleepy performance to kill the momentum.

If only we could play dross every week maybe then yeah.

Lukaku and Williams were completely free for that corner.

Who taught these idiots how to defend?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Great subsition to bring on Giroud. Fantastic performance from him since he came on.

Perez thrown on.

We'd still find a way to fuck it up

[Niall_Quinn]

Perez thrown on.

To be fair, we're quite happy tip tapping it across the pitch. Left to right, right to left, back, left, to right, to left, give it away... get it back... repeat...

BT commentators buzzing. Big night for them. Something to show on their 2017 pre-season clips.

[Munchies]

oh dear

[Munchies]

AFTV :popcorn:

[Niall_Quinn]

We've given up now. Perez just lets the guy run straight at the keeper.

[RomfordPele]

Poor performance to be honest. Still can be relied upon to fuck up when it matters.

[Niall_Quinn]

Everyone still STATIC up front. There are ZERO options to hit.

[Ernesto]

That mcmanamam is a muthafukka. Oohing and ahhing after every Everton chance. Piece of shit.

[Niall_Quinn]

Jagielka gets a red for his 57,338th foul.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Jagielka red. Too little too late.

[Niall_Quinn]

THAT'S A PEN! WTF?

WTF is going on?

Total mayhem at both ends.

[Kano]

Fucking hell!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah fuck this shit.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

cock! that's my night ruined then.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Full time by the way.

[Goonermerree]

THAT'S A PEN! WTF?

WTF is going on?

Total mayhem at both ends.
I screamed pen too!!!!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

That was a pen, right? Trip in the box.

Anyway, too late now.

This is a momentum thing with Wenger. As soon as the pot starts to boil he rushes in and turns down the heat. It's just so horrifyingly predictable. Now a loss to the gypos and we have that little mountain to climb (which we will) and then we'll be title challengers again for a while.

We need somebody in here to change the type of "football" we are "playing"

[The Emirates Gallactico]

AFTV :popcorn:

Great. A perfect opportunity for Mr Bludfam and DT to build up their "brands" with some melodramatic rants.

Honestly think they prefer it we lose as they get more hits.

[Kano]

That was an insane ending.

Ah well, we were always going to lose again at some point.

[Niall_Quinn]

Also, Theo and Bif aren't good enough to be at this club.

[Goonermerree]

That was a pen, right? Trip in the box.

As I asked, don't they ever watch replays of out matches and see how we just piss away points by taking our foot off the gas and playing tippy tappy? Same old dross.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I work out that with four different clubs Wenger has gone head to head with Ronald Koeman nine times

Won 1 Draw 4 Lost 5

Pathetic

[Master Splinter]

The fucking Koeman Kurse.

[Niall_Quinn]

On the positive side, we've managed to turn things around for Everton. All part of the service. Thank us by referring us to the next team who need a lift.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

That was an insane ending.

Ah well, we were always going to lose again at some point.

I suppose we were but it puts an awful lot of pressure on us for the City game.

Plus as we know we're not the best team at bouncing back from defeats.

[RomfordPele]

Didn't deserve much from that. Turned up for first 20 minutes and the last two.

I would still like to see that penalty shout on alexis though. Given the two awarded against us in previous matches, it looked a banker.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Ironically that's Liverpool so we may benefit from it. :popcorn:

It did but Everton Fan TV, I beg your pardon, BT Sport have decided not to show the replay of it.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Wouldn't have made any difference if we had got a penalty, draw was no good to us this was a must win game

[RomfordPele]

Wouldn't have made any difference if we had got a penalty, draw was no good to us this was a must win game

Sorry but that's ridiculous. One point is better than no points.

[Kano]

I suppose we were but it puts an awful lot of pressure on us for the City game.

Plus as we know we're not the best team at bouncing back from defeats.

Did so after Liverpool. Not the end of the world but every defeat will be seen as that predictably.

[Ernesto]

I think I'd take a draw for the City game now, if only to steady the ship. A defeat puts us out of the race, no matter what Wenger says.

So Chelsea could have it sewn up by Sunday?

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Sorry but that's ridiculous. One point is better than no points.

Alright I rephrase that it was as good as useless to us

The difference is five or six points behind Chelsea, we played 24 hours previously and had a chance to breathe down their necks

But no again Wenger gets found out as per usual by the same managers

Hughes, Pulis, Mourinho, Koeman they all have his number they know they are guaranteed not to lose when they play his teams at home.

It's embarassing watching it happen time and time again, oh we've got a stronger team this year

NQ is quite correct the drag factor is Wenger, he's a crimp on everything we do

[Kano]

They don't even mention the penalty we should of had :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

BT is just ignoring that penalty shout then?

[Niall_Quinn]

At least they are showing the non-corner that was about the easiest decision of the night.

I really wish I'm wrong. I hate the pessimism on here and I hate to be a part of it, but for Chelsea to be 9 points ahead and only playing once a week...I dunno. Seems too high a mountain to climb :(

We'll catch them. And right at the moment we have chance to go past them, we'll lose 3 in a row. This is what we do. Season after season after season. Never changing.

But they won't keep winning forever, it just doesn't pan out like that. A defeat was due, it's never nice when it happens but it's far from the end of the world after one loss in 15.

You're like one of those inspirational speaker thingies.

Come on Arsenal!

Nah I'm a miserable fucker at heart :lol:

Being negative is the easy thing to do. If we lose a few then it'll be clear we're heading down the same old path again.

Oh yeah, I agree with all of that. Still would have taken a point though!

Has a replay of the penalty incident surfaced anywhere yet?

Couldn't bear listening to anymore bt sport so don't know if they showed it or not.

Not sure if Webb dismissed it at the end, it must have happened in a split second if he did. Was a pen though. Those are being given up and down the country every week. Webb did spot the absolutely fucking obvious even if you sped the cunting thing up ten times NON-CORNER that led to the first Everton goal though. Linesmen had to be bent to give that. Or some sort of gambling addict.
