Match Thread Everton v Chelsea, 23/12/17

[Lob]

We will need to play well for the whole 90 mins to have a chance of coming away with anything. Not as worried as i was 3 weeks though i.e before Allardyce took over which is nice. Going to obviously be tough but if we are solid at the back (as we mostly have been since Sam took over) and more positive going forward and dont give the ball away too much, then we can get something out of this. I am going to be optimistic and say 2 - 1 win to us. Well why not eh, Its Christmas after all.

COYB's !!!

Last 9 v Chelsea at Goodison. 6 wins to us, 3 to them. This one's going our way.

If we can win this...

Its WEST BROM + BOURNEMOUTH away before 3 hard games.

Need 7-9 pts from these

 

[Gladystweet]

We're going to win. Top snidery tomorrow in our 2-0 win.

 

[Cels]

This (and the Utd game) is one I hope to win but expect to lose. Mind you, they didn't exactly batter us in the Cup. But still... Everton 0 Chelsea 3

Remember that this is a home game. We have good chance of taking this one. The problem I see is can we sustain the form we have had? I'm also curious as to how we will handle the midfield situation. I'm worried that Schneiderlin will start and he certainly hasn't earned it.

Rooney to score first, equaliser from Pedro within five minutes of the second half starting. 1-1 nailed.

Jammy 1-0 win with an extra time goal by our big guy Lacina Traore

Synchronised diving. Two go down at the same time. The ref's got to give one of them. Sorted.

1 nil to us. Senderos with an early goal, Marcus Hahnemann making several brilliant saves to win the 3 points.

 

[Blues Harp]

Is this one of Moshiri's "expected losses"...... Hope large Sam doesn't think like that. First goal is crucial IMO although we have come back from being behind a few times. Would take the draw atm, win would be superb !!

 

[PeregrineT]

At some point this team has to come back down to earth, while it has been great, we arent going to win 4 of 5 for the rest of the season, so I see this one as a reality check. 3-1 to Chelsea.

Last 9 v Chelsea at Goodison. 6 wins to us, 3 to them.

Guaranteed 0-0 then

Think we will get our best performance from the team but the final result is another matter.
