Match Thread Everton v Chelsea - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll.

[Jeff Jones]

Richarlison has been started at 9 too often to make me think anyone has noticed that it doesn't work.

 

[Bluebonic]

People laughing across the country shouldn't bother you.

I can barely hear my missus laughing in the room next to me half the time so I wouldn't worry about Kristian from Trondheim having a good laugh at our expense

Fixed those typo’s for you Macca

Must win now, sadly I don`t think we can..

Why can’t we?

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

So given others are doing predictions mine is a 1.4 loss. We are just not good enough. Blackpool away next season is the reality people so get yer heads straight as we need to plan for that now.

Stupid , cry arse post

Everyone praising iwobi and yes his performances have been much better, but MOTD pointed out at least 3 times when he fluffed a counter attack by either not seeing the right pass or running into a defender and losing possession.
I think given the fans support Dele would get back to his best and show he’s a class above making the key killer passes we need. Frank needs to start him, giving him more time rather than letting iwobi waste key opportunities.

Risky to swap iwobi for dele now

Wobes has been pressing like a mad man, dele presses like a goalie. Do we want to lose the press for the possibility of a killer ball and little else ?

Tough to say what Lampard will do.

For me - we look so much better in midfield with a natural sitter, and Delph is the only one who does it effectively.

Toss of a coin between Allan and doucoure - I’d have doucoure for the extra legs he brings.

Up top I think it’s obvious that richarlison is better off the left and think it’s worth the sacrifice of playing Rondon for what it could bring out of richarlison. Think there’s an argument for Dele to start but just think Iwobi offers much more energy in the midfield and is turning into an important player for us in the run in.

Some weak links in there of course, but looking at that team on paper it’s a a travesty we are where we are.

 

[Sadken]

I’m all for this to be honest, can’t fault fans for at least trying

All very nice but will this help them pass the ball to each other ?

Sure I just seen a press release that Delph as picked up an injury in training and is out for Chelsea game?

Someone mentioned on here yesterday he was injured but I haven't been able to find any report yet.

Wouldn't be surprised though.

We’ve won 5, drew 1 and lost 1 of the last 7 v Chelsea at home.

Feeling confident for this COYB

I have never been worried about this game and am even less worried after the derby performance.

 

[Caolam]

Hoping for something out of this game, a win would be a huge boost particularly if Burnley get beaten. But so much for stating the obvious.
I can't believe I am about to type this but Delph being out is a bit of a blow but at this stage I don't think it matters that much who we put on the field, it is now down to commitment, there is one good game in most of our first team squad they just have to deliver.
