Match Thread Chelsea vs Everton - Saturday 26th April 12:30

[Tipp blue]

Why do people want us to get beat against Chelsea by starting Patterson?

It's likely a choice between starting Patterson or Keane..... I'm having the Scottish Tripe hound in over Keggers any day.

We could play Ashley Young or James Garner rightback.

Garner Maybe.. Young lets not..

Wouldn’t it make more sense to play O’Brien as Center Back and Coleman as right back

I think they are keeping Coleman in cotton wool to make sure they can roll him out on the last home game.

Nathan Patterson doesn't have the balls to play against Chelsea, got his backside handed to him on a plate against them on more than one occasion. Interesting shouts for Garner at RB, definitely worth a try imo.

The deadest of dead rubbers

Chelsea are 5th, level on points with the team who’s 7th. It’s hardly a dead rubber.

Coleman's testimonial will come v Southampton. Not a good idea v these given they'll have Sancho/Madueke/Neto as likely left winger options for this.

That is serious pace so I think for a one off Garner would be dogged and disciplined for this.

 

[RomanReigns]

I see maresca is banned for this one so Chelsea will be managerless

Surely we can beat these

 

[GoldenToffee]

Deep down, we all know Keane will somehow start this one.

Hardly, Chelsea desperately need to win to keep up their fight to qualify for the Champions League. Although in fairness even if they don't qualify they'll still find rules to break that enables them to spend 600m this summer.

 

[Bluebonic]

No Tarks
No Broja
Play Keane and its another defeat I reckon,

 

[GoldenToffee]

Should be:

Pickford
Young-O'Brien-Branthwaite-Mykolenko
Garner-Gueye
Harrison-Alcaraz-Ndiaye
Beto

Will be:
Pickford
O'Brien-Keane-Branthwaite-Mykolenko
Garner-Gueye
Harrison-Doucoure-Ndiaye
Beto
​

Fully expecting Patterson to be sold in the summer, so no reason to believe Moyes will want to play him between now and then. Somehow Moyes is also hard for Keane, so expecting him to get a run in the side. Doucoure because he's got the naked Moyes/Irvine pics.

Garner is a good right back but does mean playing the ineffectual Iroegbunam in the middle. Still better than playing Keane though.
