Arsenal Vs Everton Preview - Top 4 trophy at risk?

Wenger –

Title race is far from over for Arsenal

The league is over, Leicester have to lose 4 games and Arsenal win the 4 in row which is highly unlikely. Not only we wont win the league, I believe top4 will be tough with teams like WHU right behind us and we have to play them at West ham.

Tbh, I don't care about making top4 anymore, sick of Wenger throwing 20 years of top4 finish around every time we get knocked out of a competition.



I just don't want see Giroud or Theo starting or even getting minutes when they don't deserve any. If we have better option I would have benched Coquelin also.

Wenegr will not change the line up, he has no idea anymore, the only thing he know is to bench Joel.

Ospina
Bellerin Gabriel Koscielny Monreal
Coq Elneny
Joel Özil Alexis
Welbeck

Everton wont be easy game and they have a beast upfront and can see him torturing or weak defense. A tie is the most we could get out of this game.

Spoiler?

Spoiler:

Would like to see some good predictions for this game.

I go with 3-1 Everton

What a week it's been for Iwobi

The game depends on our defense performs overall especially Gabriel and Ospina. We should have enough upfront to cause Everton problems since they have their own defensive problems themselves. Hopefully we finish our chances again, it's quite embarrassing to watch us struggle in front of goals. We have gone from struggling to defend to struggling to score goals

Dat Guy's Goal

This is closer to the Arsenal I want to see. Calm, organized, and willing to go for the jugular in attack.

Let's hope we finish this off/see this out now

please Arsenal, Wengers I really really really want that humble pie

time to sell Theo and promote Iwobi/ keep Joel ?

Sounds like the right thing to do IMO

Good game. First half we pressed, forced mistakes and played some very nice football - best we've seen in a long time. Second half we stepped off entirely, "managed" the game, ballsed up some counters.

Iwobi impressive, Alexis very good too, Welbeck still has that scatterbrained approach in the penalty area but his movement is very good. Defence stood up well to Lukaku and the service to him.

Just three more away games now - West Ham, Sunderland and City. Five very winnable home games left. Need a strong finish to the season here.

Also, fans chanted "eff off Stan Kroenke, get out of our club" at the end of the game, and there was another Wenger Out banner which caused a fight to break out.

Great Win in one of those supposed difficult away grounds!
Excellent performance by Gab-and Kos v Lukaku
well done to Iwobi
some good football in 1st half
hope Mesut is ok

Wenger said Ospina and Ozil will be fine in a few days.

Vintage Coquelin performance, he and Elneny provided excellent balance and cover for the back four.

Gabriel kept Lukaku nice and cozy in his pocket.

Welbeck's movement was fantastic, he, Iwobi, Alexis and Ozil offered a free-flowing approach to our attack that we haven't had in a while.

Everton were piss poor, as was Clattenburg.

We won

Looks like I might be wrong about Iwobi.

This is one of those wins where it hurts, we should have been winning games like this more often.

Great game to watch and if we have Welbeck the whole season, we would have walked away with the league.

Iwobi just looks like a very intelligent player. He's not flashy but the way he's able to find pockets of space and his decision making improves our build-up play significantly. And his link-up play with Welbeck already looks fantastic. At 19 his intelligence is streets ahead of Walcott and Chamberlain.

I'm surprised he's come this far because he wasn't always the standout player for the U21s. I seriously thought Crowley or Akpom would see first team action sooner, but shows what I know.

It's amazing how much more cohesive the team looks with the right types of player. Elneny has basically fixed our midfield because shockingly enough he plays like a midfielder. He moves around to receive the ball, he uses the ball intelligently, and his positioning looks good. All he needs is to bulk up a little.

Welbeck up front as well. A mobile striker with good movement and technique, only let down by his finishing. Unlike Giroud or Walcott he doesn't limit us in anyway. He can link-up and combine with midfielders or he can run the channels and get in behind.

It's a shame Cazorla isn't fit because I'd love to see him in a pairing with Elneny, with Iwobi, Ozil, Alexis and Welbeck ahead of them.
