Match Thread Everton vs Chelsea - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[gedefc]

Playing Gueye without even meeting his teammates and manager properly, let alone a training session with them is suicide.

Knows half of the squad already, played in the CL 7 times last season and is an international footballer, I think he'll be ok to go straight in?

 

[Billy Dean]

Is Allan fit for this?

 

[Vintage]

Playing 3 centre backs and 2 centre midfielders against Chelsea who probably won't play and out and out striker on Saturday will mean we will get totally over run in midfield . A 433 would be much better against Chelsea imo.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

My guess on the line up (if anyone is injured/suspended then feel free to point out)

Goalkeeper
Pickford

Defence (no idea re Mina’s health so I’ll leave him out)
Mykolenko
Tarkowski
Kean
Godfrey
Patterson

Midfield
Gana
Iwobi

Front three (Big Sal still suspended I believe)
Gordon
Dele
McNeil

Get a draw and I’ll be delighted

Luckily, we still have some paper player masks in the stock room of the megastore. Doucoure will wear a schneiderlin mask. Michael Keane will wear a Michael Keane mask.

He'll feel right at home.

Just plonk a youth striker up front. We did it at Stamford bridge.

I see most people think Patterson will play ahead of Coleman, I'd be (pleasantly) surprised.

 

[KaiserEFC]

We shall be playing for a point

 

[Paul Rideout]

Well this is grim. was it during Moyes' reign we played a 4-6-0?

Colemans injured isnt he?

Dunno but I remember Phil Neville playing left wing once, that was funny.

 

[croatian blues]

Players just need to remember: Don't concede and you wan't lose. We'll sit back and wait for the break. Gordon temporary our best option...

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Is Allan fit for this?

Doubt it. Barely played during pre season.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

I see most people think Patterson will play ahead of Coleman, I'd be (pleasantly) surprised.

Coleman hasn't played a single second of football during pre season..

We just need to persist with Patterson this season. The lad needs games!

 

[The Legend of Southall]

This is it. The curtain raiser. Where we see the hard work in preseason come to life. A chance to step up and lay down a marker for the season.

A chance to show a packed Goodison faithful just what this team can do. To prove all the doubters of last season wrong. A chance to fly out of the traps....





......So 3-0 to Chelsea.
