Match Thread Chelsea V Everton 25/10/17 League Cup

[GwladysBlue]

Think all 3 have been out of form, and maybe Keane needs a wee rest.

Jagielka and Williams together is suicide.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Best thing about the lineup? All the players are being played in their positions.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Team is mental, but it doesn’t contain the utter dross we signed in the summer so I’m happy

 

[TheBigIguana]

Strange team, where is poor Vlasic ?

Wasn't he supposed to have picked up a knock at the weekend? Maybe just a day off

 

[Kantareller]

Chelsea's XI though?? Lots of names I haven't heard of.

 

[BlueToff]

Hahahahaha I love this, absolutely love it! What an odd team

It's kind of not though is it - when you think about it.

Unsworth has just simplified it, that's all.

Not changed the keeper around.

Has two proper full-backs.

Everyone is playing in their natural positions. No square pegs in round holes.

 

[II McColl II]

Least Unsy knows if you're playing Rooney on his own you need legs around him to run

CB's im a bit disappointed but can see why he's done it, more experienced and we're in a rough patch, if they don't perform he knows the issue and can give the younger lads a try.

Shows how much he rates Beni to instantly throw him in the side

 

[AlE]

Possibly the best midfielder in the U23s currently. Will be interesting to see how he does.

Ok that's exciting.

Honestly never heard of him lol ..what an idiot

 

[Frang]

jags AND Williams together is slightly worrying

I'm all for the formation tho.

gunna be interesting to say the least.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

So refreshing to see two actual wide players on the pitch, it's got balance and that's a hell of a start.

 

[tsubaki]

Ashley and Jags together is alright if it means its Keane and Holgate together at the weekend.

 

[sageyefc]

search inside your soul, his pointless running around, losing position, oppo wrong side of him, those 45yard shots, you know it to be true

Think you've just described McCarthy there, other than the shooting bit

 

[brigadier]

cmon what a time for the lad baningime.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Strange team, where is poor Vlasic ?

Wasn't he supposed to have picked up a knock at the weekend? Maybe just a day off

His sister tweeted that he got a knock early on against Arsenal and played the rest of the game in pain. Probably just given a rest.

 

[summerisle]

4-1

To be, or not to be. Hope that helps.
