Finally a fucking win here.

All in all a decent final visit to Goodison Park for a while.

Gotta say I really thought Raya was excellent. He was a great choice for today. He was composed, owned his box, and distributed very well. He was also confident to come out and was an active part of our build up in the back.

I gotta give Arteta and the team credit. Our boogeyman teams used to haunt us and those dropped points would always hold us back, but now we have the belief and the ability to overcome those obstacles and take the 3 points.

It took a bit too long to finally break through for my liking…but it was definitely coming. Everton did stay quite disciplined, which made it harder to break down that bloody block. They seem to have almost no threat in attack. I hope Martinelli is OK…wearing my Martinelli 11 shirt ~~for luck~~ as an homage, today.

Not a spectacular win by any means but we've broken the Goodison curse. Fantastic stuff.

Given how much Trossard played today, wonder what our lineup will be against PSV. I could see us doing ESR on the wing just to let him rest up

Fuck Toffee, up the Nougats

VAR is dependent on people watching it, and the people who are filming. the view on the offside was horrid, meaning it is possible that another person who might have gotten that view was focused on something else with their camera.

Good win. Patient and purposeful.

Everton fans know they are in deep deep shit this season when we are beating them at Goodison. Given their squad, their form, and their resources, I don't see how they can stay up.

I don't understand why Martinelli's goal was ruled offside. Nketiah was in an offside position on the right when the pass was made out to Martinelli's on the left, but he wasn't interfering with play throughout the entire process. Have they changed the rules again?

Edit: oh I see how. Eddie was outside before he flicked the ball back to Vieira who then threaded it through you Martinelli.
