Without actually saying it out loud, I think he said Michael Keane plays against Chelsea, big Jake at right back.
Tarky out for the season, possibly miss some pre season because he needs an Op.

I 100% believe that he will play Keane. I said so on Saturday. Managers like Moyes like players like Keane - what they call "good, solid pros" - even though he is literally terrible at the thing he is a pro in.

O'Brien into the center with Branthwaite give Patterson the rest of the season or as long as Tarkowski is out. No point having Keane in there when he's away in the summer.

…yep, it would be of great interest to see if O’Brien is as effective at CB as RB. A number of positioning and aerial weaknesses suggested from those who watched him in France.

If Keane starts I’d begin to assume O’Brien is Moyes’ RB for next season.

Chelsea vs Everton​

This game comes just days before Chelsea's massive, season defining Conference League semi-final clash with ***checks notes***; Djurgarden?

I say it in jest, but in recent weeks Enzo Maresca has rotated key players in the league ahead of UECL matches, so that fact alone immediately has me happy to swerve the Blues at 8/13.

They need to win this game given they are sixth in the table and two points off the Champions League places, but I can't trust them. Everton have lost just three of David Moyes' 14 league games in charge, the most recent defeats coming against champions-elect Liverpool and reigning champions Manchester City.

The Toffees will be a tough nut to crack, but I have to revisit a selection involving a player who has been kind to us this season, and that is MARC CUCURELLA.

While he does eat paella and drink Estrella, he also gets into scoring positions regularly, and his price for 1+ TOTAL SHOT is simply massive again here at 17/20. I'd still take the 8/11 available with Betfair and Paddy Power.

Across his last 20 starts for Chelsea in all competitions, Cucu has delivered the bounty on this bet 15 times, averaging 1.17 shots per 90 in that time. At home, this bet has landed in 10 of his last 11 starts, with his average increasing to 1.60 shots per 90 in front of his own fans.

He's scored in six of those 11 home games too, so at 14/1 we simply have to go back in again on CUCURELLA TO SCORE ANYTIME.

Those six he's scored are the most by an Chelsea player in that time in league and Conference League matches, so the price looks massive.

Score prediction: Chelsea 1-0 Everton (Sky Bet odds: 11/2)

Sigh.... Not even a mention of their loanee Broja who's at us?

No surprise there, mate.

Ahh man you think he'll really go with Keano? He's not even part of our future. Makes zero sense in my eyes. Calling it now, we'll get ripped if he plays

The reason I think he will play is, Moyes used the same wording last week.
"It's sometimes more difficult to have to make 2 positional changes than 1"
Translates to Keane for Tarky?

Does it say who Chelsea are playing Saturday by any chance
 
He's got to put o Brien there. He obviously rates him and he doesnt need to see Keane as he's out of contract and there's enough people still at the club to tell him he's rubbish. Better to see how O'Brien gets on there. Can't see any logic in playing Keane there unless there's any chance of a new contract which I doubt.
