Romey 1878 Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 Everton have won four of their past five home league games against Arsenal (D1), including the past three in a row. They last won four consecutively against the Gunners between March 1910 and March 1913. Arsenal have won 100 of their 204 meetings with Everton in English league football (D43 L61) - the most any team has ever beaten another. Both of Everton's Premier League home games this season have been 1-0 defeats. Only three times in their league history have they lost their first three at Goodison Park (1958-59, 2005-06 and 2008-09). Since the start of last season, Arsenal have kept more away clean sheets than any other side in the Premier League (11). They've also won a joint-league-high 13 games on the road, while only Manchester City (17) have conceded fewer goals than the Gunners (18). Arsenal's Gabriel Jesus has scored eight goals in nine Premier League appearances against Everton, more than he has against any other opponent and at an average of a goal every 71 minutes.

chicagoblue Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 Guessing the forum had just come back online? Why in the world are we continuing to let the opposition take free short corners? Killed us two matches in a row. Dyche has to change it now. Had no attacking plan from the start. Can't get any worse. badaids 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elston Gunnn Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 The difference in passing skills is enormous. As is the alertness factor. Arsenal play and think crisply. We do neither.

badaids Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 The big issue with these park the bus tactics is that it’s all wasted if they score even one. We’ve not been very bad defensively but it just takes one goal and it’s blown. Have we had even one chance. May as well have a go now. chicagoblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicagoblue Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 A midfield three of Onana Gueye and Doucs is always going to struggle to create so I really don't know what the plan was today. Just hoping for a lucky long ball to Beto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 Don’t think we’ve been that bad. We’re never going to have much of the ball against Arsenal. No team does. But we’ve had 7 efforts on goal against Arsenal. And we have restricted them to a handful of chances. Some players are coming back from injury. You can see with McNeil he has struggled today.

And we nicked one. So low possession rate not the end of the world. Not saying it should be identical here, but to just a defend the space and make no attempt to press is cruising for a bruising. More pressure on us, less chance of scoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 Unlike the other home games, we deserved to lose that one. Arsenal look are so fluid and quick, hence they challenge for the title. We've looked a lot better than this this season. We were so bad with the basic balls today. Hopefully we get back to creating all those chances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupidity. We had a midfield who can’t pass. Should just have gone 2 big men up front and go direct from back. If thelwell isn’t looking at replacements for dyche - he needs to be. Our points return under him is appalling Palfy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Tiger Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 I’m clearly in the minority but I don’t think the tactics were to blame today. Zero shot we go toe to toe with them for 90, our defense stayed strong and we should generated some counters but our midfield couldn’t place a single damn ball properly today. We still only lost by 1 despite their performance and had a couple reasonable chances to equalize (that were of course ruined due to awful execution) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did we just sit back and see how long we could on for. poor tactics, play to our strengths. Palfy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
