extraordinary how much money everton spent on average players and no real game plan

 

[DukeBobby]

Koeman will be gone by January

He's clueless and so are the players.

Man, what I wouldn't do for someone like Marco Silva right about now...

 

[Lashley]

Ospina, Mertesacker, Holding, Monreal, Bellerin, Elneny, Maitland-Niles, Iwobi, Walcott, Sanchez, Giroud.

 

[VLiberty]

not a fan of Atalanta but I'd still be happy if they manage to get to the KS.

As every other year, I'm rooting for an italian team to win the UEL. It will be even easier in February when Napoli will be likely there...

Everton are embarrassing

glad he left Saints if this is his master plan when he gets the money he desires.

I remember a Feyenoord fan saying don't let Koeman spend loads of cash on his own players as he will fuck it up. Seems he was right...

He's gotta be playing four at the back with that lineup right?

It looks like a 4-4-2 with Sanchez and Giroud up top and Maitland-Niles and Elneny in the middle. But Wenger hasn't played 4-4-2 since Bergkamp was around has he?

343 on the match sheet

Match delayed an hour too

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

Iwobi in the centre and Maitland-Niles out wide? Makes no sense.

Maybe Iwobi's gonna be the new Ox.

Probably 4-2-3-1 tbh. Iwobi playing number 10 and Sanchez and Walcott on the wings


Edit: I stand corrected. You can never discount some good old fashioned Arsene Wenger logic

 

[Lashley]

Koln fans being cunts, storming the turnstiles the tits

Hope we smash them

Cool to see Nelson on the bench, hope he gets some minutes. Key player in my Derby County save on FM17.

Niles as left wing back.....

 

[Addnan]

Hour delay in the Arsenal game, was just getting comfy.

The only other time I can think of when a British team has started a match an hour later than advertised is Everton tonight.

Everton will be unstoppable when they spend that Lukaku money.

Koln fans fighting with stewards inside Emirates stadium. Group arrived in home end and fought their way into away section.

Jesus christ...

I will never understand that shit. You're flying out for what is a big game for your club, I would assume you go there to enjoy yourself and to watch the game...Fucking idiotic muppets.

Köln travelled with 20k fans and Arsenal only gave them 3k tickets while (not sure if true) half the stadium will be empty.

So lots of Germans outside the stadium without a ticket.

 

[GoldenCrow]

Just realised with the amount of top quality players that can leave on a free next summer this Jan transfer window is going to be crazy.

remember lads, only english fans behave badly abroad

They're going to postpone the match at this rate. A minority of idiotic fans are going to get their team a crowd ban for their next games.

Well why travel with 20k fans then?

Plus these fuckheads are already inside the fucking stadium...

 

[Lashley]

Doubt the game will go ahead tbh

 

[CrayToes]

What a bunch of cunts. Still hope they beat Arsenal.

enjoy the atmosphere?

pretty lame from Arsenal tbh to not give them more tickets when they don't sell out their stadium

 

[Art Teitlebaum]

Lots of Cologne supporters are often very problematic. I can remember lots of incidents in front and even inside our arena. And now they're back in a European competition after 25 years which makes them act even more idiotic.

I'm not an Arsenal fan but please, please smash these cunts.

 

[Zasa]

Remember when Guardiola was a fraud?

Even if Guardiola wins the league, he'll still be called that by the ignorant folk. It's not even banter for some, as many genuinely regurgitate that nonsense like it's the truth. Ignoramuses be damned.

Understanding basic football is hard apparently

Hardly our fault if these idiots turn up with 20k supporters when they had 3k tickets allocated

it's simple math

Something something English fans provoked them something something.

 

[McMoneyman]

Would be shit if the behaviour of some fans would cause a whole game to not be played.

 

[papercan55]

Doubt the game will go ahead tbh

It will, everyone is now in the stadium more or less, just leaving the away fans penned in by riot police in for another hour until kick off......what could go wrong

 

[Art Teitlebaum]

Gate-crashing a stadium isn't easy to justify with a provocation lol.

Gunnersaurus was provoking them somehow, just you watch.

Cologne players are out to warm up but conversations going on between UEFA and the clubs about whether this can go ahead.

Arsenal confirm the safest and best option is for the game to proceed. Decision made.

Well the good news is the Emirates will have some atmosphere

Thanks to Cologne

Are Bayern fans ever happy with their managers?

No.

The safest, best and most profitable option. This really looks like a bad idea, there are pockets of Arsenal fans completely surrounded by scores of away fans.

Apparently a ton of Arsenal fans have went home, can hardly blame them

They went home after selling their tickets to away fans, they caused this whole mess...
Too many only arrived at the emirates so they could sell their tickets to save them themselves the embarrassment of watching their beloved team play under Wenger.

 

[nature boy]

And Arsenal have to play Red Star Belgrade.

Hope they learn clubs in the Europa League have more passionate fans and take measures to protect fans
