Good stuff. Yeah, Everton vs Arsenal, Arsenal currently third place as we record this podcast, they flew up the Premier League on overtaking Tottenham. They're a good side, they've got good players, he's an excellent manager, we know he is someone you've wanted at Everton, they didn't even give him a chance to build so, we know how, you know, what his style is and this season for Arsenal was always going to be a transitional season in the centre. They've had Arsenal bengar for so long to then flip it to someone else who plays a different way, but lately, you know, they've won five of the last six games and they've got themselves, you know, past space. I saw them against Tottenham a few weeks ago at Wembley and they were absolutely outstanding, they should've won the game, they were winning 1-0, Kane scored a goal that got a penalty that was offside, but, you know, the referee awarded a pen and they go miss a penalty and injury time, I'm a young. They should've beat them, but they forced away into it, third by, the home record is brilliant and that's that being the staple. It's been interesting for season four and obviously we went there in the early months then, we were beaten 2-0 wasn't it, we played well on the day and obviously we didn't desire to lose. The second goal was obviously a massive part of that game and really shouldn't have stood terrible officiating. But, you know, it was a lean and care for that day, it was the likes of Tom Davies, Calvin, Lewin, even though he's in the side now, but then he wasn't necessarily part of the first team and it felt like a team that was definitely a transition. For Arsenal, I think the difference for them, listen, they had a good side anyway, let's not knock it out, they had a very good side, although not up to maybe the standards that they've had over the last few years. It was a case of training, I suppose a weaker team, a slower down version of Man City in a way. Man City liked that. He had to turn training into what he wanted, but what he had, which is what Michael Silver certainly hasn't had this season, is not one good striker, but two good strikers and that being the most important thing for Arsenal this season in my opinion is that in those games that could have gone the other way, they've had lackazette and a barriangu have really pushed them along in those dark times. Remind me a little bit of when Cooman came in and obviously we had Lakaku and Cooman had the chance to play a different way if he wanted to because he knew we had Lakaku. The only difference is that we were winning games, but he just was like we're winning games, so what's the point? Sleever as it is. Emily is trying to stand down his authority. I think we're seeing that, the pressure and all are higher I think, there's a lot more energy and he's getting players like Hazel who quite frankly used to doing any hard work. Now we're having to do hard work because he's just said that I'm the boss, I think what's been good for him for Arsenal is where their benefit is. He's like I had Neymar last season, I'm sick of players like him, I want players who are going to graft and if they don't then they're out of the team and I think that's what you want. You want people to buy into it and the ones that don't suddenly if they find themselves out of the team then tough, we'll go and get better or we'll do what we've got. He knows what he wants, he's put up with a lot of PSG last year and he's a good manager, he knows what he wants, has a style of play and he follows it. You've seen that with Aaron Ramsey, Aaron Ramsey thinks he's a fantastic player, he's reportedly doubtful for the weekend but he's a fantastic player. He hasn't signed a new contract and Emre's just like off you go, good luck, he's still playing when you fit because he's valuable to him. He hasn't gone one of them, I'm not bothered on playing, he's still used them in a way that European managers do with other players. The clubs are still in Europe, it seems like you're still going to use it because you're valuable. When it's over there, some managers will go like you're leaving so you're not going to be in our squad. He's got Terair in there, Terair in there, he's a good little player, he's a good player. You've got a Bami Yang and Lacazette, two brilliant strikers, absolutely brilliant. A Bami Yang, he doesn't always play them together, seems to be favouring Lacazette at the moment to score a couple of goals the other night. Obviously a Bami Yang came on and set one of them up, so they've always got that. What a brilliant thing to have to strikers pushing for 15 to 20 goals, Lacazette's got 13 at the moment and Bami Yang's got 17. To have 30 goals between two strikers that don't necessarily play as a partnership, that's a brilliant luxury to have. As you mentioned, is the 10 wins in a row at home or 10 on beating at home? Something like that, they're on a brilliant one. The home records fantastic, I think it's the third best in the Premier League. They're just so strong at home, you compare that with their away form, their away record rather, they've played 14, 1-5, 3-4, 4-5. So a little bit of a mix on the road, scored 26, can see the 27, it's up 19 points. You can trash that with Evans away record, Evans took 18 points on the road. But when you look at the two home records, Evans got 25 points at home. I think Arsenal have got 42 points at home. So that's showing you how strong they are particularly on their own patch. It's going to be a really tough game, but you're right Bami Yang. He's favoured the 4-3-1 away from home and that's why only one of them have played. It hasn't always been the case, he has tried the two, but in general, one will be. He will start and the other one will come on and either join in with him or replace him. To have 30 goals between the two strikers. And don't forget that in the quarterfinals of the Europa League as well, which is Champions League football if they win it. I had had a little thing on Twitter yesterday, I'd seen a few Arsenal fans saying I'd rather finish third them in the Europa League or fourth them. And I was thinking, you do realise you get the Champions League spot as well if you win it and it's a trophy. Do you think that's just the way it is because they want to finish above space so much? Yeah, but if space finished fourth and Arsenal finished fifth and won a trophy, you'd be like to Tottenham. Oh look at that big shiny thing that again you haven't won and we have. Of course there's a bit of that, but I think that's all part of the conditioning that Sky have given us. That the top four is everything. If I had the opportunity to finish fourth with no trophy or fifth with the Europa League and still get to the top, take fifth and lift the cup all the time. I think Arsenal have got, not saying they're terrible, away fixes, but I think they've got some slickie away. They've got four aways and two aways, something like that. They've got more aways than they've got at home, I know that. So they've got the likes of Oars and the likes of Leicester and teams in and around. So they've got tough games, so whether they finish top four, I still don't know, but space are having a difficult spell, Chelsea in and out, Man United had a great spell and then have come off the back of that isn't great. But for Arsenal now they've got to absolutely keep the momentum going on because no one's going to give them that four place willingly. It's going to be really really tough. So Leicester Leicester, we've got Arsenal on 63. You've got Spairs 61, United 61 and Chelsea 60. Obviously United have played the game more than the other three. At the time of recording, Spairs have played Crystal Palace at home tonight, so they could quite, you know, they may move third again. But for Arsenal, you know, comfortable win against Newcastle, other than I think they had 70% of the ball, but what surprised me was only seven attempts at goal in the game. They had 700 passes in the game. They dominated. I think that's going to be the thing for Sunday, isn't it? It's how quickly. We know they'll have a lot of the ball. They've got those kind of players. That's the thing in the Premier League. You can have a lot of ball, but if you don't do anything with it, and that'll be the interesting thing on Sunday to see, well, if everything allowed them to have the ball and break, I think, you know, as long as we can stop them getting through, which will be tough. Would they like to lack a set? Then that might be the worst thing in the world, because Chelsea came and they had a lot of the ball, and yet they did. We got lucky a little bit, and they fashioned some chances. But once we got through that little bit of a rough spell and got into the game, we made chances, and we took chances, and we ended up winning the game. Liverpool was a little bit like the same. They had loads of the ball, but when it was our time, we didn't have as many chances in that game if we had any. I don't... I think Arsenal will come, and it's whether they can actually break us down. You know, we've got... we've got, what, four clean sheets out of the last five, is it? So, for us, we're looking at going, well, we're buoyed now, we're... our tails are up, you know? Well, Everton have got the fourth most clean sheet in the Premier League. We've just got clean sheets against Chelsea. We've got a clean sheet against Liverpool at home. You know, we've got to... OK, Cardiff are waiting on a clean sheet. Westam are waiting on a clean sheet. Well, Westam, Arsenal. Westam. Westam. Westam. Westam. So... You know, we've.. We're on a good run as well. We've really benefited from that 17-day break. We had the infuyorary, when things were, you know, things had fallen away from us a little bit, and we needed to just clear our head. O'n rewind,the manager's done really well. The manager reduc don did very well and get organised, and I think he's learning about his players a bit more. He's getting the team that he wants out there now. And the players have benefited from it, Mae'r ffordd rhan o'r ddechrau gyda cytuno dros y dyfodol. Mae'r rhan oedd y ffordd tha'r ysgol yn fims, wrth ddweud gennym gynnig, Ohd i'w'r ddechrau.

Arial Battles, this is from an independent statistic site, Arslan very good in the air. Arial Battles have it and are very strong with that, so crosses into the box might be important at the weekend and obviously we've got Dominic Albert Lewin who's got a great leap on him really as if he can start getting on the end of things, direct and head as a goal and stuff, he can get more goals cos he is a threat, he's got a great jump on him and we saw that at Newcastle or a wee, lovely ball from Luke of Deane great at it and that's that's one way we can get at them and front will worry Arslan the way we break quickly, but conversely they will have a lot of the ball and we will have to concentrate, it's going to need big games from Michael Keane, a big game from Kate Sumer, all of the back four are going to have to be right on it because with Arslan's movements with the likes of Lacazette and okay at the time they're called and Ranji's apparently doubtful so that's a big plus for everything because just running from midfield it crosses the most change of problems. I think it is the big one for me in a game like this because he does turn up and he is the kind of player who can unlock defensive when they're at the best so and with Lacazette's movement of Bamiang off the bench as well that's going to be the major threat. He looked around the rest of the team and it doesn't necessarily scream at goals from other positions and I know they've had issues with injuries and things like that of course they have but a look at them I think but the two off front obviously Ranji who's come back into the fall recently is that kind of threat as well so it's a difficult game but I think for us we're looking at now a lot more positives seeing well it's a test yet but can we match that test with point wise where we want more we want to clearly want to get over 50 points you want to get better do better than we did last season because for us everything else is better isn't it everything else you know shots goals what we've conceded I think every other column were obviously better this season than we were last season would just be nice to get that point wise as well and it would be nice to take points you know if you finished the season then we've took points on the Arsenal game from the Liverpool game from the Chelsea game from the Man United game or from the Bay in the game listen that's a tough order but if we have then you can point to that and go well actually we did turn up against all the big teams we won the games we needed to win and with Crystal Palace and Fulham as well before we go to Spades last game of the season all right I'm painting a very rosy picture there I know I am but but that's how if you're finishing the season like that you're challenging the team aren't you and saying right finish the season strong give the fans optimism for next season because at the moment everything you know you're looking forward to going to the game on Sunday I look at it and go with Arsenal is that I've always liked watching Arsenal and they're the great side they've been great side for years love watching them the way they play but I still feel with this Arsenal side that if you put them under pressure and get at them you can beat them Liverpool I know I'll say never at Liverpool's level of course than that Liverpool stuck five on them because they've had more and other teams have beaten them and like a west hand beat them in the other week so they're a good side a really good side but I'm confident against anybody you know I am I believe everything will win every own game because I think with especially with the way the crowd the big thing in the last few weeks has been the way the crowd have come back with the team the manager asked for a responder the originals and all of that in the street end the side and I'll be there against Sunday it's a big this is a big game because it's momentum now definitely the challenges can we win three on the rock and if we can beat Arsenal we've got a big team coming up in the Europa League as well and I'm not saying that I'm going to bother about this of course they are but they've got a couple of things they're going for so they're beatable you know we had Liverpool at the top of the league came to us a few weeks ago and we limited them to a couple of chances which we gave them by the way they didn't create we gave them the ball and we kept the clean sheet I personally believe we should have won it we had chances to see or say and I don't know whether we had a few at the end that we should have struck and we ended up drawing nil nil Chelsea again first 20 minutes they were all we we stood off them and it was that you know we could have been too numb when we stood off them after that they had very little and we you know the only disappointing thing is we didn't get more saying West Ham we steam rolled with them from start to finish and the only disappointing thing was we didn't get more exactly so you know we scored two in our last three games which is good you know good for seven in our last three away games so the goals are starting to flow clean sheets are the most important clean sheets are important and if we can get one Sunday then you'd back everything to win the game again that's been the difference as in it since the break apart from the new castle game which was just like all the disasters happened all at once we've eradicated a lot of those mistakes that were hurting us before that we've stopped committing you know self-inflicted wounds essentially and that's been the real difference and you know the team's found a bit more confidence now it's got a shape and that's the main thing that's another big thing as well having that shape that consistency players know what each other's are doing partnerships are starting to and Arsenal did and hopefully we make we've got to you know Arsenal make a lot of chances as well as you take them we don't make as many chances I wouldn't say and again it's you know it's you've got to take them that's what we did against Chelsea they didn't we did but if you look in it I mean you look in there and we've just praised Arsenal for the two strikers and rightly so cracking two brilliant strikers 30 goals between them but the charlots and the sigots have got 24 between them do you know what I mean and then after that you've got hen you know micraterian he's a fantastically talented footballer he's got six Dominic Calvert-Lunes got six so you know everything it's not too bad don't get me wrong Arsenal are a great side we said it before but they're not an um they're not a you know a team that you can't beat you know the like it's been a while since we beat them the last six games we haven't beat them in there's been no draws the last time you beat them was under Ronald Cooman and Arsenal were leading in that game and the crowd turned that the crowd the players getting the modest ends of a game oh I mean yeah to be fair they should have made it 2-2 and then we should have made it 3-1 you know we missed it oh no we should have gone 3-1 and then they could have they broken it should have been 2-2 gone and missed it there were five on one and we missed it and then they hit the post and everything but that night they were in there they went flying I think they was even troff of the league when they came that night they were unbeaten they were brilliant and we beat them and you wouldn't have said that because we looked all over the place it hasn't quite worked out he spanked us twice last season but again at the end it's early on in the season I haven't been unlucky I don't think we you could make a case we should have won because we should have been three up or half time second half they had more of it but you know the second goal was off side so you know I'm confident I mean Arsenal haven't beaten it the very there's a few things going on that they're very similar to us they haven't beaten a team in the top half of the table for a start and we hadn't done that till we beat Chelsea you know there's that away you mean away from home yeah yeah if you look if you look at the way they they are in some of the records they're exactly the same as Evan like they're away record there's a point in it so there's a lot of similarities I'm looking through the the weaknesses again by this independent sighting it's a protect and a lead will you'd say Evan I like that at times avoiding individual errors is a weakness and that's one at Evan as well I mean there's weak evidence is very weak at that ball attack based on all of their games this season so Evan are a team that create chances now both do so you'd look at it and go this cup yeah a 2-2 or a 3-3 or a or a goal in it either way but I look at it and just think it's a game that we can win it's a home game so I look at it and think it's a game we should win but they are a very good side so that obviously a bit of that goes off the door the winning odds in it is I thought this was interesting that Everton of like 31% chance of winning the game when we've been that we've actually only won 23% of those games but Arsenal have got a 48% chance of winning it and when the odds have been that for them they've only won 28% of the games so both teams generally don't do what they're supposed to do but you rightly say there's games there and points there for Everton and for us we're going to have to be right on it like we have been for the last two home games I think the crowd will be off for it with the siren and the zekars and all that and I think it's an incentive to the players to go all right we haven't we haven't had a great season we would have liked to have been higher this is it but this is our chance to flex our muscles and go we are a good side you're a good side and so will we I want to show you and just a matching of Everton beat Arsenal Sunday three wins on the run going to Fulham yeah you were relegated you know with a chance to make it four all of a sudden you know Everton put three or four wins together like they are going to be pushing for that seven so there's a lot for us to play but they obviously got the Champions League but they've also got the Europa League so you know put it this way I'm a lot more confident than I was a month ago but the caveat of that is these are a very good side. No they are a good side and as I say a couple of top strikers playing for them you know but mine one of those. It's going to go in the summer I know we don't we don't want to buy players 20 to 26 but Lachazette if you want 20 to 26 20 between 20 to 26 years of age that's all we want to allegedly go into Arsenal brands but I would have Lachazette definitely and have both of them black pan for massive quality I just hope he hasn't blinked a bit amongst them. Yeah don't blink a bit. Keep it for the keep it for the Europa League boss that the Europa League. The referee's Kevin Friend that's great isn't it to be honest mate I was going to say if when have we ever sat in and gone oh the referee is he's a great referee with the last one we said that and look what happened do you have it? Let us know your thoughts in the comments do you think we can get the three points tell us Arsenal fans I know there's Arsenal fans watching I know there's Arsenal fans watching they won't think we can get it let us let us know your thoughts on this game um what's going on with what's going on with you guys you're all happy and made up because you were you're above top number and they've got a new ground and it's funny and if if you are if the right Arsenal fans watching it with the will be just let us know in the comments um what would your preference be would it be finishing like fourth and not winning the Europa League or finishing outside the top four but win it why would you want that why would you want to it can only be it could only be to finish above space okay you've got a trophy if it was everton if everton were say Liverpool were like Liverpool were like not winning the league um and it was like they were fourth yeah what would you take would you want to just finish third above them to say do you think Liverpool fans in 2005 had asked that we finished above them no not the slightest there you go there you go not the slightest and especially when the when the prize is the same but you've got a pot it's surely all you ask the fans what would rather win the Europa League and go to space there's another cup you haven't won potatino you know imagine if the cup imagine if if it'd been this year by the way space might still win the Champions League but imagine this year like the Europa League finals that space is grand imagine that imagine imagine that like it was just like you can even if i wonder if like if the Europa League didn't get Champions League but you could say right you won the league you won the Europa League at space is grand they got Champions League you never but you've got to win a trophy there grand see i'd take that as well i'd i'd have that over Champions League that's a reason than that forever you'd have that forever where's the Champions League it's just like eh but that would be forever wouldn't it that would be amazing but it is Champions League so that's why no but it wasn't no but i'm saying it is Champions League so for me whether you finish third fourth is irrelevant win the Europa League and be in the Champions League to say we've got another cup and you haven't won anything again because that's the surely that's the mark and they can go but in the Champions League again provide need to win it um because you know they've got cities so you never know but surely at the end of the season space fans just be like arsenal won a trophy and they're in the Champions League that is not do you have it yeah there you go thanks for watching toffee tv
