Match Thread Chelsea v Everton - Saturday, 5 November, 17:30

Draw please Ron.

Be tough without Gana

 

[zaitken]

Stuff a draw...I want a win. We were robbed blind there at Stamford back in January

Smash and grab 2-1 win today. Early lead and then a late winner in a game that mirrors the Burnley defeat, just with ourselves playing the role of the jammy underdog this time. Man of the match performance from Ashley Williams and another assist for Yannick Bolasie.

Pandemonium.

What pub are toffees meeting today before game near the bridge?

 

[brieverton]

If I was a Chelsea fan, you'd be looking at their run against us and thinking it has to end some day.

Hopefully today, I can't stand that club. Second only to the RS on my contempt ranking.

I'm fed up of approaching these games hoping we'll snatch a point, and seeing it as some form of moral victory.

We need to win, and it needs to be today.

Everton can never accept a 22 year streak of failure against any side.

COYB!

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Have a safe trip everyone who's going down and hopefully a celebratory return journey.

 

[The Esk]

Safe journey to travelling blues, wish I was there with you but sadly not this weekend.

Would be a marvellous statement of intent if we can come away with three points. We're due a win at the Bridge, last year, had Mirallas only scored instead of hitting the post when we were 2-0 up. The rest is history as they say.

2-1 Everton, Lukaku and a Coleman special.

Enjoy lads!

 

[Jeff Jones]

I don't expect us to win, but we might. Conte has changed their set up after a poor start and they've won their last four without conceding.

I think this could work in our favour, based simply on the law of averages.

Koeman will have studied it and I've no doubt that he'll have a game plan to counter their 3 at the back and 5 in the middle set up.

It'll be up to the players to apply it, and if they're up to it we might get a result.

If they don't I think we'll get thumped.

Went this game last yr neva been at a game where it was amazing (fully grown men flying 4 rows forward) to utter dejection in injury time. Remember guy next to me was in tears

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Got to have a go from the off and not park the bus.

 

[nsno-chris]

Smash these rent boys

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Koeman got a few decent results against the top sides when at Southampton, hopefully we can find something today.

Would be more than happy with a point.

 

[Ballyfermot]

It's one them ones where we win and we are right in the mix we lose and we start to break away. One of them pivotal ones. Could set the tone for the rest of the season. Ye know the ones we lose 99/100.

I am just putting my head down... alarm set to wake me up in 4 hours time (about 6am NZ time). I have very positive vibes about this game...
I love Everton

{phenylalanine and other stuff has kicked in strongly}

Got to have a go from the off and not park the bus.

My prediction the two changes in the defence last week the two players will return with Cleverly in ganas role and 9 men behind the ball just like the game at city without any luck or he plays a good counter attacking side, and we win and burst Chelsea's bubble???????
