WE'RE GOING TO LOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[bluestevon]

This is ridiculous. Wouldn't you say with the numbers we have centrally that he will have to at times abandon his usual position to counter our threat and be pulled around the pitch where he doesn't want to go?

We will see mate, hope it works a treat and we smash them, just a lot of concern and a bit of frustration at seeing yet again quality wingers sitting on the bench for us

BBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

As silly as blind faith when the team selection is as odd as this one is today mate, both naismith and Osman see a sub appearance today as well

How is reservation of judgement blind faith? Stop just stop.

 

[Caolam]

There defence has been shocking this season ... bloody get at them!

That could be the key to a win today. Terry seems to have gone completely and Cahill isn't as good as they think. Sit back and block up all the spaces in our half and counter at pace and with commitment. We might concede but we will score 3.
Good ball up to Lukaku and he will run riot.

 

[Khalekan]

I think we will see McCarthy and Barry sitting back, Besic in front of them. Kone will play on the right and Barkley on the left.

Kone and Ross where Kev and Gerald should be.

Thank you, Bobby.....you have deflated the fans before a ball is even kicked

 

[AaronTheBlue]

no winger thing is doing my head in a bit like, kone pure living off one good game.

 

[Nymzee]

How we playing this? 4-3-3 with Mo and Barry sitting? Can't work it out me.

 

[VentureBrosEFC]

We will see mate, hope it works a treat and we smash them, just a lot of concern and a bit of frustration at seeing yet again quality wingers sitting on the bench for us

Fine. Would you still like him to play them even if he believes they won't be as effective as this lineup?

 

[efc.1878]

Chelsea HAVE TO win today. They'll go for it, we can get these on the counter attack.

We won't get many chances today, crucial we take whatever we get.

 

[paulbefc]

If Besic is on to keep Hazard quiet and it works, it's a very wise decision as he is crucial to them. Also frees up Barry a bit more to protect Galloway hopefully.

I do wonder how things are going to work going forward, or whether we're just going to keep it tight for 60-70, wait for them to get desperate and then throw some wingers on.

I hope we don't just end up conceding early and have no answer to a Chelsea bus-parking.

 

[meagher94]

Barkley and Kone don't have to be on the wings you know, could be Kone and Lukaku up top with Ross in behind, 4-3-1-2

 

[Nymzee]

Ivanovic is there for a roasting and we have all our wingers on the bench. Everton that.

 

[efc.1878]

Hahaha Josè you bad bell.

"Everton fans will remind you of John Stones today"

Spits his dummy out and storms off from interview.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Would hate to have to rely on some of our fans in a battle, they're beaten even before it starts.
