Should have had Man City in that run too - still can't quite work out why their PSV game was postponed...

This:

"UEFA confirmed the fixture would be pushed back because of ‘severe limitations on police resources’ in the capital ahead of the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II"

Allegedly.

Too early to say. ETH, and Potter are too early into their reigns to say how it will pan out.

We just need to keep doing what we are doing.
I think Potter and ETH are both top tier coaches. Both clubs could end up winning titles in the future under their guidance. But we are currently better placed to come top 4 than both.

The thing is there is a clear comparison to be made between Arsenal and ourselves. On the basis of the season so far, Arsenal perform well, have a clear defined style of play, and are winning games whilst playing good football.

Brentford have been crap but you could also say Arsenal have just completely shut them down. To me their performances suggest they will be up there all season, performances are the best indicator of consistent results after all.

Where as we routinely start games poorly. In fact we can go entire halves playing crap. Arsenals passing is crisp. You rarely see them give the ball away. We seem to do it constantly. Our passing and ball retention is often woeful. I would describe us as quite chaotic in games.

Based on their performances this season and ours, I expect we will lose at their place. We can’t keep not performing for large parts of the game and winning. Let’s hope we turn up. That said we have attacking talent and we seem to win games despite playing well for large parts of it so let’s see.
Their technical level is much much higher than ours. No more evident than the difference between Lloris and Ramsdale on the ball. Sanchez would have been shipped out 2 years ago under Arteta. Gabriel is Arsenal’s worst player on the ball, the rest are all crisp technicians. We need the same.

I'm quite confident we will beat Arsenal home and away this season because the way they play means we should get lots of opportunities on the break. A bit like how we tend to do well against City I think it could be the same Vs this Arsenal team but they aren't as good.

This EVE/WHU is not a great watch.
But as long as Everton get a win or draw I’ll be happy enough.
