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

[Gil]

Think you'll batter us to be honest.

Conte will fear Koeman's mighty Everton.

If we give up the 1st goal we'll get smashed. Luckily we've been so great in the 1st half.

Stekelenberg has performed well this season, but that said he's made at least three silly mistakes I can think of:

- WBA goal
- Boro goal
- Burnley goal

Those mistakes have cost us points. We'd have won against Burnley if he didn't tap the ball to their striker to score. Thankfully the other two mistakes didn't cost us any points in those games.

There's not really any excuse either for those kind of mistakes.

Robles came in from the cold and performed more than well enough against West Ham. We know he's also got a mistake in him, but we haven't seen one for a good while looking back into last season.

I'd give Robles a few games to try and prove himself.

We still need a top quality goalkeeper. Another giant fuq up from the summer, to go along with the rest of them.

He's also bailed us out a few times as well and was arguably best/2nd best player the 1st month. 8 goals total we've given up, and the while the D has been big reason, Stek has played a part in it too. Granted, Stek isn't a long term fix but he's been fine.

If we had unlimited money and went out and got say Lloris or DeGea we would have probably given up around the same amount of goals. They make mistakes too.

The Boro goal: Negredo headed his arm
The Burnley goal: The ball took a deflection

Yes fellas. You seem to have missed the first 6 words of my post, like. Wasn't having a go at him, just pointing out he's made some mistakes.

I think Chelsea still have it in them for a title challenge, so if we can nab a draw I'll be relatively satisfied

I'd like to see Davies play in all honesty, though I doubt he will

Swansea at home after the international break and then Southampton away

I'd be delighted with 7 points from those three fixtures, but if you offered me 5 right now, I'd take it

Chelsea got a full squad to choose from or any injuries and suspensions etc?

 

[Jeff Jones]

I don't have a good feeling about this impending match...but that intuit is subject to change

This becoming a habit.

 

[Pienaar's gloves]

Gibbo though.

He's boss when fit, get him in, prove him.

 

[GwladysPhil]

Bit unrealistic expecting Davies to start away at Chelsea lads

 

[Jeff Jones]

Any away pubs people can recommend?

Turn right when you come out of Fulham Broadway and it's a very short walk. You can't miss it.

Nah. Sell him. Waste of space wage stealer just like about 5 or 6 others in our squad.

I thin that season we had a riddiculous unbeaten streak with him in the team.

When he wasn't fit, we lost games.

That was then. This is now. He's finished.
