Happy Invincible's Day! (Marty) | Arsenal 2-0 Everton

AFTV, Marty, a very, very good win for Arsenal today, particularly with Man City dropping points earlier on in the day. Yeah, really important three points. That was a good result for us. Villa beating City, and they've been a bit inconsistent. And then, obviously, you go into this game, Everton are a tough opposition. They've only been beaten once, which was by Chelsea at home last week. They've had a few draws in there and won a couple of games. but historically this is a fixture I think it's now 36 games we've played at Arsenal against them they've lost two of them and they've drawn five and we've won the rest of them sorry they've won two of them and then we've won the rest of them so it is historically a fixture that does favour us and today remember last year they made it very tough for us last year you know we weren't until the end of the game when we got the job done but today was comfortable and there was the same result was served up today for them and listen centre-backs like buses you don't get and set pieces you know you don't get one for ages they haven't had one all season and two come along at once and I thought that Gabriel and Konsa and I've said about Konsa previously you know to come into this side to replace Saliba you know I feel like a broken record saying it but this guy's been phenomenal and he gets his birthday goal his birthday midweek and pops up with a really important goal bundling it into the net however it goes in there it really doesn't matter and then obviously Gabriel with that header at the end and I heard you saying this is what I love about you know Konsa plays and when he walks on this pitch he's angry just looks angry he looks aggressive and that's what you need and Gabriel they're physical guys and you want frightening centre-backs that centre-forwards don't want to be involved with because these guys will put the boot in they do not care they get rough, tough and physical with you and that was probably the difference today I loved the changes that Arteta makes you know Myles Lewis-Skelly what a versatile player comes in at left back does a fantastic job you know he's done a job in the sixth for us Declan Rice he did something different with Miguel Moreno today and I thought Yocarez you know got himself around the pitch now Eze I thought had a good game I thought he was decent I thought his ball playing was good I thought his link up play was good his nice little balls in behind and I thought he worked well and I thought Madawake he was good for the first half and then in the second half faded it's good for Max Nowman to get some game time as well listen it's nice to see that kid get on the pitch and I think with Saka out injured and he's going to be out for, you know, probably eight to ten weeks. And I think, listen, if I'm honest with you, I think he should have a bit more time. The only thing is the cover. We were talking about this on the starting XI show beforehand, is the cover that we've got. If you get an injury to Eze or Madawakey before Solis gets back, you know, you could potentially have a problem with two players that play in those positions. But this is now what I like. What I'm loving with Eze is he's been given these opportunities. Now, force your way into this team. You've been given the opportunities. stake your claim so when these guys get fit you have got a stake for starting against teams not just being happy with sat on the bench because that's not what Arsenal was about and listen I thought Everton they gave it a good go they were resolute but as soon as that goal went in it was a comfortable afternoon and then at 2-0 the game was done there was no way they were getting back into it because we don't concede goals right here right now you might as well just award David Raya that golden glove just wheel it out at Fleetwood Town or at Liverpool next week because that guy is guaranteed to win that Golden Glove again this season I thought he was decent what he did have to do there was a punch that was he missed where he didn't know where the ball was but then he did well there was a save against Barry where the ball Ben White goes to head the ball back a really really really sloppy bit of defending which really could have cost you but David Raya was equal to it we saw it with Donnarumma earlier in the Villa game that went underneath him David Raya was equal to that and that's the difference and listen we take the points we're now level with Man City and we just need to keep pushing on and happy Invincibles Day Robbie yeah thank you alright go on
