McNeil puts a decent cross in and with players like DCL & Onana they'll get chances

 

[Carrotdude]

They look organised, as you would expect. I don't see where the goals are though, and they aren't in a position to draw their way to safety. If they do go 1-0 down here (they nearly just did) then they will lose.

I would not want him here but Dyche clearly isn't a rubbish manager. I'm not sure what he can realistically get out of this lot though.

I think he'll get more out of this lot than he would with us - Doucoure Onana, DCL to get on the end of crosses, decent head it and kick it centre backs, should be able to get some set piece goals too. This might just be a case of first game at home so they're all trying a bit harder but I could see them scraping their way out of trouble

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

They could, because there are a lot of very flawed teams (if I'm being generous!).

I'm dubious about how successful "wang it in the box" actually is in 2023 though. How many teams are vulnerable to that? Even we have centre halves who can head the ball.

 

[Carrotdude]

I guess we'll see, I just don't think he's the instant failure many seem to think he'll be

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's not so much about him.

Rewind to us in 2012. Was Alan Curbishley back then a terrible manager? No, although I wouldn't have been that enthusiastic if he had signed on. Would he have kept us up? No, zero chance.

 

[Jack Regan]

Everton in front and from a corner too, how very Dyche of them. Why Arsenal have Odegaard picking Tarkowski up is anyone's guess though.

 

[The Bear]

Arsenal picking the wrong game to have an off day.

 

[jd1981]

More annoying that Arsenal haven’t turned up today arseholes. Remember in the resumption 19/20 they did everything to fuck things up for us.
Beat us, lost to Spurs, Spawned a win v City in the cup Semi final then got some very kind decisions in the final v Chelsea.

 

[AndyWolves]

Everton have defended well tbf

 

[Carrotdude]

This would be a terrible result for us

 

[jd1981]

This would be a terrible result for us

Yeah no doubt someone will tell us looking after our business is what we should worry about. But Everton beating Arsenal is a blow

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It’s an irritant that’s for sure

 

[The Bear]

An equaliser would be nice.

 

[jd1981]

Someone just said that Everton since the PL era started have just existed to annoy people beating title contenders after being shit for months or donating points to relegation threatened sides.

 

[Jack Regan]

Kenny Jackett sub by Arteta, change right back for no reason when losing.

 

[Alan]

Can't count on Arsenal for shit.

 

[jd1981]

As I said they did everything in 19/20 to stop us getting into Europe and did everything to keep Villa up annoying

 

[Jack Regan]

Maupay is a colossal dick isn't he?

 

[Alan]

Sack Maupay off.

Coote is awful.

 

[jd1981]

No worse than Ramsdale to be fair
