Match Thread Everton v Chelsea - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll.

[Nosidoog]

Had a look back at the hard fought 1-1 draw in December. Hope we see the same fight today. A draw is the minimum requirement.

Going to need luck now. Nothing wrong with that either, whatever it takes at this point.

I don't feel we are the luckiest team

 

[Billy Dean]

While legally questionable, in the current situation that's the s'housery that I'll take. 2-0 UTFT!

Hope it doesn’t backfire (excuse the pun) and motivate Chelsea. We could’ve done them without that anyway

Surely not.
Our fans would have been asleep.
Must have been Chelsea fans.

Gary Speed scores Everton’s first goal (39th minute) in their 3-1 victory over Chelsea played at Goodison Park on the 18th January 1998.

I always feel like stuff like this comes back to haunt you

If anything that’d make me more up for it if I was a Chelsea player.

That’s the flip side. It could make them more lethargic though - we’ll see.

There’s only one set of fans who would have fireworks to hand.

Unlike the stuff rs goblins get up to.

Hearing us referred to as " the E V " makes my toes curl , proper cringeworthy ! surely no self respecting Evertonian would say that .
I'd say deffo kopite ?? commenting and most probably set off the fireworks too ?

 

[Preki]

That’s the flip side. It could make them more lethargic though - we’ll see.

Or probably wearing ear plugs so not an issue.

 

[Zatara]

Fireworks 130am - 3am this morning?

Or all night?

 

[blue to the bone]

I think 10 points will keep us up. 1 today isn't the end of the world.

 

[LocalNative]

By Christ I’m nervous

We’re getting nothing away from home mate. This is a must win. 5 points behind with 5 to go is tough mentally.
