Draw for the next round - last 8

[Librarian]

Would have been more worried about Arsenal. At this stage of the competition, being at home in a knock out game will be an advantage.

 

[Hong Kong Phooey]

Difficult not to like Hiddink isnt it?

Agree. Honest as the day is long too even if it's against his team which is refreshing to see.

 

[spence03]

Did you hear Rodgers when Gary said that the Everton v Chelsea was the tie of the round and ex manager said or Reading v Palace.....ffs.......

David Brent is bound to say that as a Reading fan

I'm not concerned about the home crowd as we're playing good opposition. It's when we're playing weaker teams that come and park the bus that the crowd are a nuisance. When the fans are behind the players, we do well, like against City.

It will be tough though. They're on form and will play a full-strength side. They'll be most people's favourites for good reason.

I am like your point mate.

Better to play them at goodison than at Wembley. A couple of days after their champions league game too. Time to make Goodison a fortress(for one game only).

 

[TyphooToffee]

We hammered them at our place and would have done them at theirs if not for the lino mate.

Have some confidence.

Anyway, as I said, one game at a time. Chelsea game is irrelevant for now. It's Villa we need to focus on.

I think you're getting confused with Chelsea pre Huddink

 

[Goat]

Or Hull, of course...



Really?

Go and look at our home and away record...



Hope so.

Personally think Chelsea's only chance of anything of significance this season is the FA Cup, they'll go out to PSG.

Arsenal will have the league as a priority.

Still, you have top beat the best to win it. Hopefully we can scrape through, then get Reading or Watford in the next round...

We struggle with teams who park the bus, Chelsea wont park the bus, we have been better than them twice this season, Goodison will be bouncing. Arse, Chelsea or Utd away would have been much harder draws, maybe even West Ham, in terms of worst draw, its quite low on my list. Our home form has been overall dire, but its not a League game, you would hope for a higher degree of hunger from our players.

 

[Neiziro]

Btw it's important to note that Mo Besic will be back for the tie.

 

[sd_1992]

Do chelsea even have any fit defenders?

 

[Darth Vader]

Yep, this was the worse team we could face. They are now in form and the f.a is the only silverware they can get, we will have to be at our best to win this plus great home fans and a fair ref.

Its all they have to play for and Hiddink will have them right up for it

Gutted tbh

 

[Ring master]

I am looking ahead lol,and hoping we get palace or Reading in the semi finals

we play chelsea most seasons in the cup

 

[Furey1878]

Twitter is full of edgy hipsters claiming it would have been better to play them away.

2016 is great isnt it.

Well tbf, if we'd got one of the lower league teams it would have been better to play away.

But obviously against someone like Chelsea the home crowd will be up for it.

 

[kithnou]

Oh well there's always next season

 

[DanEFC92]

No chance. They won't sit back so we will get chances and Goodison will be absolutely rocking for this.

They're not all that and they know we got their number.

It's about time that Lukaku stuck it to his former employers.

 

[Carlito]

Definitely owe Hiddink one after he beat Everton in a final and then tricked Moyes into buying Bilyaletdinov.
