Everton A Sun 17th Sept KO 430pm

[rodders999]

Just been in the toilet giving birth, that match day feeling had returned.

[rodders999]

You were right Bobby

[rodders999]

Right decision to drop Ramsdale for me, we limit the opposition to very few chances most games yet piss in goals and Ramsdale has been at fault for a fair few of them. Something had to give.

You were right Bobby

Raya is our long term number one. As long as he takes his chance….

[Gunner Rob]

Bold team selection from Arteta today - clearly Rays was bought with a view to putting him in as number 1.

Havertz dropped after just 4 matches - probably the worst signing I can ever remember at the club. feel sorry for ESR still.

[TeeCee]

I said on here 12 days ago that Raya would make his debut here. You could see by Arteta's face when Rashfords goal went in Ramsdale would be dropped next game, he's let too many dubious efforts in this season.

[goonertux]

No Havertz at last!
But not sure if Vieira is right for this game. He has impressed when coming on lately, but this is gonna be a fight and will he be up for it? Maybe Jorginho would have made more sense?

[rodders999]

It’s the amount of games where the opposition have scored with their first shot on target that’s done for him - 8 times this year isn’t it?

Not all his fault for sure but a fair few of them were and when something like that keeps happening there has to be more to it than bad luck.

I am glad Havertz has been dropped but including Vieira in a physical game like this is worrying. I would have preferred Jesus and Trossard to start.

[xgtdec]

in fairness ramsdale could more than likely get away with those kind of errors at sheffield, he's prob so far ahead of the no 2 at the time, but he has to realize the level has changed and he cant make the same cock ups and produce the same stats and get away with them, its up to him to up his game and claim the no 1 spot the next chance he gets.

[Midz]

Eddie is a waste of space, I'd rather play Trossard or Martinelli up front.

[Midz]

Or buy a fucking striker

but that would be the logical thing to do.

[Arsenal Till I Die]

Raya in goal and Havertz dropped. Pinch me.

[SteveO 35]

Raya in goal and Havertz dropped. Pinch me.

No excuses today! Both of those changes have been what virtually everyone has wanted
