Match Thread Everton v Chelsea - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[blue to the bone]

I'll be back at 10 regardless of the result.
The match day thread turns into an absolute cess pit as normal.

It must be his turn.

It seems to be a different skipper every game since Seamus got injured.

I’d have kept on Holgate or gave it to Keane

Is it though? None of us know his game - really.

If you're fuming/calling the manager out - have the courtesy of offering the alternative.

Digne/Coleman are out.

Other than Gomes - who has been turd and claiming publicly he's not fit - I can't see many other options

I know he is left footed and a proper fullback. He might not be up for it but I can say without a doubt that he is going to give us a better attacking option down the left than Godfrey is. So that is my alternative. Having a proper attacking set up and platform to move the ball forward. Especially now that Pulisic isn't playing. I don't really fear Havertz as a winger.

Nice to see nils there now digne and delph are out
Oh wait

 

[Efcjake]

Carlo absolutely doesn't rate the back up full backs.

 

[navidson]

Godfrey and Gyilf left side

Peak Ev

We used to have Baines and Pienaar - and that was when we were skint

The squad is a disgrace and the DOF should take responsibility.

My only criticism is the Davies should be playing because he has energy and creates balance.

The depressing thing is we'll end up giving Brands a new deal.

He's wasted just as much dough as Walsh yet gets away with it.

Exactly. Carlo is being seriously stubborn now and it’s worrying.

Unfortunately every platform is bad.

Twitter and Facebook make my eyes bleed with response to the team news.

 

[Blues Harp]

Shut up. Every lineup since Southampton has been beyond a joke and you’re having a go at me for moaning. This man is not learning from any of his mistakes!

He is not beyond criticism at all, I get that, I don't like some of the selections made as well. My post was not aimed at you personally, just at the level of fume asking for his sacking.......
Should be a sarcastic or irony emoji I think
Anyway......feck off Siggyfraud

 

[Furey1878]

As long as it’s a back 4, I can live with it.

Pickford
Holgate Mina Keane Godfrey
Doucoure Allan Sigurdsson
Iwobi DCL Richarlison

If it’s a back 5 with Iwobi absolutely Godfrey as wing backs then that’s truly awful.

 

[chippy1722]

What CBs are you playing tonight carlo?

Yes

Literally everyone of them, If Branthwaite was fit he was gonna start too.

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

3 at the back iwobi and Godfrey wingbacks? Horrible, Carlo’s persistence with this set up is becoming tiresome.

 

[Toffeelover]

Like I said in an earlier post the back four are 4 CBs and Flipping Siggy in midfield. Should have been Gordon not htat bit of U/S.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Prior managers it was always not picking proper wingers. Carlo has evolved us and now we will not pick proper fullbacks.
