Match Thread Everton v Chelsea, 23/12/17

[Eggs]

The two CB's he's swapped out are fully fit, giving Chelsea a leg up before a ball is kicked.

...I don’t really have a problem with it. If true, main concern is Hazard up against Keane. Mind you, Williams matching up with Hazard would also be problematic. Rooney’s game time needs to be managed, he was lacklustre on Monday and we have enough players who can play no10. I think Chelsea will be too good but I think that about most of the opposition we face.

Here’s hoping the bounce continues.

I like the way Williams who was the worst centre back in the history of football has transformed into a defensive collosus now that he is been rested today......

Always happens when a player is missing or injured they instantly become better, Funes Mori has turned into Maldini since he's been out.

Being perfectly honest about today's game I would say I don't think that the result matters that much to our season. I don't say that lightly as I never believe we should lose a game. But being realistic
, Chelsea are a top side with a lot of players our current side aren't capable of dealing with. After our start and given our recent revival we should probably be judging ourselves against somewhat lesser teams the this lot,
So I'd settle for a 2-2 today.

I'd settle for a draw with a Bolasie cameo off the bench. They should be beating us, and we have been flattered a bit by recent results, so it's a likely 3-1 to them.

Come on Everton,
Have yourselves a Merry little Christmas!


We'll take at least a point from this.
