Everton v Stoke. Boxing Day at 15.00.

[LinekersLegs]

Don't think we'll line up this way but would be quite interested to see that team line up like this

back 5
mcCarthy Barry Barkley
Lukaku Naismith Mirallas

Think that is the formation vs Arsenal at home last year.

Chelsea are playing how Roberto wants this team to play. Problem is we don't have the quality to play that way.

 

[bluelife]

One strong strong team that.

0-1

 

[bitter-no-better]

Bobby giving stoke a nice dose of S & M

Against Stoke its a fair shout. Lukaku wont bully their centre halves, but Naismiths movement can drag them all over which will allow Rom to exploit the space coming from wide right. But as you say, it wont happen haha

I was looking forward to see Besic McCarthy Barkley and how would that work , well , maybe next game .

Barkley on the left wing again no doubt....

Genius!!

Difference is Mourinho isn't stubborn whereas martinez clearly is

Genius!!

He won't even see the touch line.

Won't be 'on the wing'.

Stick McGeady in for Barry and thats a great team.

We are close we just need to be solid at the back.
Creative in midfield and lethal up front.

Not so he does tbh. Chelsea attack much quicker than us and pass with intent moving forward...Bobby wants us to just dominate possession, slowly and boring like barca do/did.

So not very close then really
