I don’t why but we’ve had a real nightmare getting results at this ground recently, we’ve only scored twice in the last five games at Goodison Park. Despite Everton being to all intents and purposes, a championship side.
I’m going to be honest I don’t expect things to change on Sunday, I don’t think we will lose but I don’t think we will win either. I can see a rather turgid 0-0 or 1-1 game.
Nah - we got this. Hope Havertz has a good game - cos I don't see him being dropped for this one.Quote:

Neverton are an awful team but that hasn’t stopped us losing here every season. Just a weird bogey ground that we need to banish.
I’ll say this will be another narrow game but with us just edging it 1-2.
My team to play Everton
Ramsdale, Kiwior, Gabriel, Saliba, Tomoyasu, Jorginho, Vieira, Trossard, Nelson, Nketiah and Jesus
No Zinchenko, White, Rice, Havertz, Odegaard, Saka or Martinelli in starting XI.
They will all start. :lol:Quote:

But much as I like Jesus he is wrong for this game, plus Rice will give us more resilience, so for me you have him in left 8 with Vieira in the Odegaard role
Oh and 3-0 Calvert-Lewin hatter

Jesus would be playing wide right, and with Everton playing a deep block defensively potential takes a lot of players out of the game and lays the ball on for Edward or Trossard plus a hard worker like Nelson who will be persistent in winning the ball back high up the pitch.
Jorginho can pass the ball therefore he plays instead of Rice
Fuck this bogey team. Must win!
Is Partey still out?
Ramsdale, White, Saliba. Gabriel, Zinchenko, Partey, Rice, Odegaard, Saka, Jesus, Martinelli
So last time we won at Goodison Park was 22nd October 2017. Not a single player from that team or on the bench is still with us.
For Everton four of their XI lineup are still at the club - Pickford, Keane, Gueye and Calvert-Lewin
The last time we got a point from Goodison Park was the 21st December 2019
Four players in the squad are still at the club - Saka, Martinelli, Nelson and Smith Rowe
Only three players in the Everton squad from that day are still playing for the club - Calvert Lewin, Keane and Pickford
No point being made here, just that both sides have gone through massive personnel overhaul in the last few years. The 0-0 game was actually on in the background when I was at the barbers as I remember, utterly dull game with hardly any chances for either side and the only slightly interesting fact was that both Ancelotti and Arteta had both been appointed as coaches for Everton and Arsenal respectively but neither were in place at the time (in fact I think both watched the game in the stands and Ferguson and Ljungberg were in the dug out)
Dyche and Arteta have a head to head record of two wins a piece and three draws
Burnley 0-0 Arsenal February 2020
Arsenal 0-1 Burnley December 2020
Burnley 1-1 Arsenal March 2021
Burnley 0-1 Arsenal September 2021
Arsenal 0-0 Burnley January 2022
Everton 1-0 Arsenal February 2023
Arsenal 4-0 Everton March 2023
If today is indicative of what’s gone before, probably might be as well not to expect too many goals
Raya and Vieira start. :faint:
Ramsdale. :rose:
Jesus not starting is a bit odd though.
Everton: Pickford, Young, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Onana, Doucoure, Gueye, Danjuma, Beto, McNeil.
Subs: Virginia, Patterson, Keane, Godfrey, Garner, Dobbin, Onyango, Chermiti, Calvert-Lewin.
Arsenal: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Rice, Vieira, Odegaard, Saka, Martineli, Nketiah.
Subs: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, Kiwior, Jorginho, Havertz, Trossard, Smith Rowe, Nelson, Jesus.
Quite possibly he’s not fully fit.Quote:

I think Raya is just being given a game because he'll play on Wednesday.
Definitely think Arteta will chop and change a lot more with the CL in mind now.
Dunno you knowQuote:

I have my very set ideas on who should play and who shouldn’t play and very few people on here agree with me let alone Captain Black.
However where I think we were all in agreement is that Havertz had to come out of the side and that Vieira had probably earned the right to start. So can’t really argue with that
Either that or Arteta is saving Ram until Weds - my hunch is you're right but that will be a huge kick in the teeth for Ram after he helped us make top 4Quote:

Twat these twats.
Sincerely, everyone.
We have given them some bloody good hidings there and ironically when they were a lot better than they are now. 6-1, couple of 4-1s and a 5-2 thrown in.
Martinelli. :lol:
Vieira. :haha:
Nketiah gets stuck in to Pickford :good:
Rice is so good at winning the ball back.
Martinelli!!!!
It was coming.
Martinelliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!
assist from Vieira :clap:
MARTINELLI!!!
offside against Eddie...
Offside :lol:
Bit weird.
Oh dear :lol:
Oh VAR.
That’s a pure guess.
He looked dead level.
Pathetic decision.
Martinelli :rose:
