The Barclays Premier League Thread 2014/2015

[Gorka]

That was an ugly half with a few scares but it's great for Swans to get six points.

[Baddar]

Calm down Gorka, you haven't played anyone yet!

Everton XI: Howard, Coleman, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Barry, McCarthy, Mirallas, Naismith, Pienaar, Lukaku.

Arsenal XI: Szczesny, Debuchy, Mertesacker, Chambers, Monreal, Flamini, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Wilshere, Ramsey, Ozil, Sanchez.

I like that Arsenal midfield

[The Lusophone]

Man it's kindof amazing that Sylvain Distin is still going.

[Szumi]

Really looking forward to a good match here. That front six of Arsenal should be pretty fluid, and Everton are always a good side to watch play, I feel like. With Baines/Pienaar down the left, Mirallas, and potentially Lukaku targeting Chambers, this could go either way.

[Kaney]

Excited to see Alexis up front, hope he can get the best out of Ozil with his pace, like Walcott did last year.

[Gorka]

ONE-NIL!

[Baddar]

Alexis wiped out McCarthy there. Good to see him getting physical.

And Everton score against the run of play.

[Baddar]

Should have been two. Everton are getting at Mertesacker and Chambers quite easily.

[brenchill]

Lukaku is having a shocker here. He's playing so deep and his passing has been dreadful.

[Baddar]

Seeing him drift out on the right so often must be frustrating, because there's nobody else trying to get into the box.

Edit: Shut up Baddar.

[Berober]

Too easy for Everton. Great run by Lukaku

[brenchill]

2-0!

Great play by Lukaku

[Szumi]

Excellent by Lukaku, but Naismith was offside.

[Baddar]

Offside too. Giroud needs to come on. Alexis hasn't been in the game.

[Kaney]

Ugh Naismith is a piece of shit.

[Ant]

I struggle to see what Flamini brings to Arsenal. Whenever i have seen them play he is just...there

[Baddar]

There's no way he's as "there" as Tom Cleverley.

[Baddar]

Alexis subbed. No word on an injury yet.

[Baddar]

A yellow there is probably about right, but I doubt there would have been too many complaints had he been sent off.
