Match Thread Chelsea V Everton 25/10/17 League Cup

[Blues Harp]

Williams ???? Da fuq ??? pennos to the home side I suspect....unbelievable selection

 

[Mosh Pit]

Where's Besic?

I remember trying to find a stream for the third round game against Sunderland, there wasn't one out there anywhere, I was hoping with it being Chelsea there would be a few more available mate.

Kodi has links showing, but that's been rubbish lately.

 

[efcjames]

That lineup is atrocious

Rooney needs to stay up top and stop drifting deep or that width will be wasted.
Unsworth has gone basics and start off with what you know, then you can tinker later on. If Beni would have played under Koeman I would have been worried but him and Unsy will know each other inside out, also Him, Davies and a Kenny will have experience of playing together.

I honestly think Rooney is going to be told to drop a bit deep and collect the ball to feet tonight. Mirallas will be almost the conventional striker coming in from the left.

Which will be needed because we have no attacking mid playmaker, so Rooney has to be the link.

Ok that's exciting.

Honestly never heard of him lol ..what an idiot

Here's what Unsy said about him 10 days ago: "I haven't seen anyone at this level, in the five years I've been here, who does what he does better than him. He's a top player at this level and we have high hopes for him."

I agree. You'll see a lot of movement from that front three which will be...refreshing.

 

[tremont]

I can see why he would pick Jagielka and Willliams. It makes sense to me. They are probably more familiar with each other's game than any other pairing.

 

[brigadier]

playing wide players that will track, is that cheating?

 

[Connor]

Up the Toffees.

Where's Besic?

Hopefully he's been released

 

[carolinablue232]

It's a very strong team still.

Cahill, Rudiger and Christensen are all first teamers.

Zappacosta is back-up wing-back. Kenedy too.

Only area of real weakness is their midfield.

Cahill-English International
Rudiger-German International
Christensen-Danish International
Zappacosta-Italian International

That plus Kennedy as a back line is almost as strong as what they normally play with Azpi and Luiz. Batman has been better than Morata in some cases. Willian is always good. Musonda is extremely talented. I know nothing about Ampadu, but they are still extremely strong.

 

[MartSlinger]

Pace either side of Rooney, is rightttttt.

 

[Anna]

What is this absolute sorcery, playing 2 wingers! Good grief!

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

That lineup is atrocious

That says more about our dreadful summer than anything. We were all buzzing splashing the cash but when you actually have to field a team in their actual positions most of them wouldn't feature.
