Everton must give aggressive show at Arsenal

By Barry Horne on May 3, 08 11:57 AM in Columnists

EVERTON go into tomorrow's game at the Emirates as masters of their own destiny.

Four points from the last two matches will mean that there is nothing Aston Villa can do to snatch fifth place.

Hopefully, that means Everton will go out at Arsenal and produce an aggressive, purposeful performance.

If you let Arsenal dictate, they will create chances, of that there is no doubt. Whether they take them is a different matter, but it's a dangerous game to play if you let them do that.

David Moyes has very little room to manoeuvre in his selection, but he still has sufficient personnel to make life tough for the Gunners.

Yakubu boost

THERE were signs last week that we were getting back on track.

Before the game, given Villa's vibrant form and our own edgy performances, most fans might have accepted a draw.

In the end, though, we fully earned a point and only sloppy defending denied us all three after a much more energetic, enterprising and productive performance.

The focal point of that performance was Yakubu's much-improved display just when we thought he had packed his bags for the season.

Hopefully he can continue that form just when it matters most.
