Match Thread Chelsea vs Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll.

How does Gomes get a start?! I’d rather drop Siggy back and play Iwobi, King or Virginia as #10 than have this absolute anti-footballing liability in the team.

Feels like we’re about to see another game where our entire right side has zero impact.

I wonder if they make much of the fact that we have 8 injured. Might be touched on but no more than that IMO

8? I’ve got 6 including the invisible man Gbamin (Seamus, Mina, JRod Doucoure, and Olsen)

I hope Iwobi does something today. I can see him costing us the game tbh

Just an actual cross would be nice instead of lashing it into row z.

Aside from us I like the look of Chelsea side, 5 changes, this is very do able

Basically, the lads starting are all basically going to have to dig in for the 90 minutes. There’s only three viable players to come off the bench in Davies (maybe still carrying a knock), Bernard and King. Then you look at their bench and I reckon a lot of them should be starting.

If we go a goal down tonight, I fear the worst. I’d take the scruffiest 0-0 right now if possible. I just feel, especially in midfield, we’re going to be carrying passengers and there’s nothing to relieve them with off the bench as legs tire.

Who is John on the subs bench? Is he a defender?

Who is John on the bench?

It’s ok they’ve just spelt Jo wrong.

I'm hoping its 3-4-1-2. Sigurdsson in his favourite number 10 role. Allan and Gomes in the middle. Keane marshaling the 2 younger CBs.

Got to go ahead in this one....that bench doesn't give me confidence if we need to chase the game

Feels like we’re about to see another game where our entire right side has zero impact.

It’s been like this all season it’s nothing new.

 

[Blues Harp]

Clearly doesn’t rate king if iwobi has kept his place. Isn’t shy of dropping a player if they’ve performed poorly

Surprised anyone rates King....cue him coming on at 65 mins and bagging the equaliser and winner

 

[Azza]

Pickford

Holgate - Keane - Godfrey - DIgne

Allan

Iwobi - Gomes - Sigurdsson - Richarlison

DCL


Hopefully Gomes isn't deep alongside Allan because he's been terrible next to Doucoure there.

Iwobi's going to have one of those special games where he pulls a genuine 7/10 performance out of the bag like he did at Leicester, I can feel it.
