Questions...and some general comments...

Agreed but we've won 3 out of the last 4 at home to Chelsea.

TBF we've given them a good game home and away for a long time now. They usually got the result though.

I don't particularly rate this incarnation that highly despite thinking they'll win the league and they'd be a good scalp for Bob to get early in his reign.

Well we've hammered every team this year and only got a draw, maybe this game we'll be hammered and get the win.

I think we'll beat Chelsea.

As long as we hit the onion bag and play some good incisive footy and don't lose, I'm happy.

Think we will get turned over by Chelsea personally. They'll be happy to play us on the counter and we will struggle to score.

Dont call them Chelski ffs.

Yeah we can beat them, but the big quesiton is will we beat them.

To be honest, I'm not overly bothered about the result, more about the performance - if we play well and get beat I'll be happy. Chelsea are a team that will win the league, or at least be there or thereabouts - its the teams lower down we need to get the results against.

we also need to win those teams home and away to stand any chance getting in Europe

If we can do less sidewards passing and get a few more crosses into the box we can beat anyone on a good day

...of course we can beat Chelsea but it is unlikely based on performance in the first 3 games. I accept we are in a period of transition, but we really have lacked tempo and penetration in the top third of the pitch. I appreciate the feel good factor has returned via the transfer window, but although we have bossed games we haven't really looked capable of breaking anybody down. I fear we might be back to doom and gloom come Saturday night but I am a glass half empty type.

You get three points for a win regardless of who it's against. Beating a side, as you say, likely to win the league would give the whole club a much bigger boost than beating WBA.

Having missed the 1st 2 homes as on hols I can't wait to see ginger stewards 'oh no, he DID renew' face.

I know that, but I'd rather see us play well and get beat by Chelsea, and go out and beat West Ham next week. The problem with Everton, particularly under Moyes was that we would beat Chelsea and then get beat by West Ham - which actually puts the clubs moral down more.

We will score first (in first 15 mins). Then , over the next 75mins, they will score twice...Lampard getting one of those. 2-1 to Chelski

We'll be two down by half time, two two by full time. Also I don't think we'll win the passing this time
