Chelsea vs Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[TmoMoney0721]

If it was me i'd go 3-4-3 with digne and kenny at wingbacks and back three of keane,holgate & godfrey. Doucoure and Gbamin in midfield and gordon rondon and gray up top.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

its just a game and it is based on who performs over the 90 minutes. If we continue to make awful mistakes in front of goal they have the quality to punish us (I mean Palace did...). However if we shut up shop, bolt the doors and park the bus then we could conceivably sneak a 0-0.
Alarmingly that would be seen as a victory for 'low-bar Benitez', but I would be really happy to get a point.
Given our constraints - I would go:
Pickford
Holgate Keane Branthwaite Godfrey
Doucoure Delph Gomes Digne
Gordon Rondon
Unfortunately even then its likely either Holgate or Godfrey sees a red, and Branthwaite is off injured in the first half.
That just seems to be the way things go.

I thought Gray was out for some reason... if fit he plays instead of Rondon and hope he has the legs for their defenders.

That line up is absolutely horrendous but I totally agree . What a state this club is . Average players with a below average manager .

Sweet Jesus, the state of us

I guess we leave Gray on the bench to start and throw him on for the last 20 if we're down a goal? Otherwise save him for winnable future games?

You`d got 2 CMs against their 3? With what we`ve got? Have you even been watching us this season? How did 2 v 3 in CM workout against Liverpool with better players!!!

I despair at our fanbase sometimes... just wow

 

[BlueStevie35]

Time to bite the bullet and give the U23 lads a go, nothing to lose by it

 

[JLW]

Pickford
Kenny Keane Branthwaite Godfrey
Doucs Holgate Gomes
Gray Simms Gordon

That’s a blood bath heading our way! We might as well make use of the second goalkeeper and throw him in the other half of Pickfords goal.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Who is going to the game? I really feel sorry for you with the Chelsea rent boys actually laughing at the state of us...

I can see the chant now, we want 10 we want 10

I thought I had
Delph
Doucoure and Gomes
in that line up....
We should never play with 2 CM's ever.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Only player I like who will be playing in this game is Lukaku

Looks 4-4-2 to me, apologies if it was a mistake

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

Deary me, this will be a disaster. The worst part is Chelsea won't even need Rom to make it happen. He was our pearl, their spare part.

 

[Furey1878]

Our starting 11 vs Chelsea it would seem:

Pickford
Kenny Holgate Keane Godfrey
Gordon Delph Doucoure Gray
Iwobi
Rondon
