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

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Might need a few shots of the harder stuff to see me through this one mate!

Could Gbamin be the answer? Is he fit enough to be on the bench tonight?

I'll start on the Jack Daniels when we kick - off mate, it actually makes me feel happy when everything else around me is going tits up.

Gbamin could be the the answer mate, still not sure what type of player he is though. I'm sure Carlo did say he would be back this month, I reckon though if there was a chance of him being in the squad we may have heard something in Carlo's press conference.

Have a look at all the predictions and guess which one is the Everton fan.

I don’t know if he’s even back in country. Has he been on any of those clips?

I'm not sure to tell you the truth mate.

 

[Cameron Manning]

5-1

If you even dreamt that you’d wake up and fall out of bed!!!

Shows how desperate we are that people are making calls for Gbamin to play.

Are people really saying that? Lad hasn't played in over a year, but let's throw him right in to the fray?

If he's even available he needs to be worked back suuuuper cautiously.

I honestly dont think we'll ever get it right mate - every time we have the opportunity to address the weak spots we dont act and we go lose a top player the following summer.

Alright bringing in that midfielder next summer but then you lose Richarlison and suddenly that area is a weak spot.

For years we needed that quality no 10 behind Lukaku then only when he left we actually tried addressing it (in which we signed about 5x attacking midfielders).

This summer gone was the one to have backed Carlo to the hilt but we didnt and now the chickens are coming home to roost and the weaknesses of the squad are laid bare.

If they go they go. We'll get a lot of money and boost the squad. It's what happens.

Things only get better with stability.

Booing by the 5th minute?

Did you miss us losing 140m this year?

You cant say Carlo hasn't been backed.

Carlo wasn't backed sufficently - anyone who claims that is foolish.

We needed about 6-7 signings when you look at the dross in our squad and we did the usual go with what we've got.

The owners have chucked a lot of money at it over the years but its been wasted so you either keep spending or call it a day like Randy Lerner did and accept midtable instead of appointing Ancelotti on massive wages & signing 29 yr olds in a quest for instant success which cant be achieved as 1 injury leads us to the likes of Tosun, Kenny, Delph, Siggurdsson getting on the pitch who are Fizzy Pop Level standard.

We even let 2x attacking players leave and not even replace one of them!

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Clean sheet tonight anyone? lol

Love the way you just ignore the 140m in losses and suggest we should have signed more players.

You are utterly relentless arent you? Nothing you say is even close to being a reality.

Personally I think we should have bought Mbappe, made a move for Big Bobby L at Bayern and made a move for the ginger lad at City.

Carlo wanted Allan and Hamez, we got that done, every manager we have had has been backed to the hilt. Recruitment, for various reasons hasn't worked out.

Nobody will claim we have spent the 500m wisely, but to suggest Carlo wasn't backed is quite silly.

We clearly have different versions of backing, you wanted 6 or 7 players, we signed 6, for the record.

You spent all last year telling everybody that Kean wasn't a footballer and I doubt you ever had a good thing to say about Walcott, but suddenly they fit an agenda. We have a bloated squad and massive loses, its sadly a process, 1 that we have so far failed in. But hey ho, we go again and again.

Thats all well and good - but dont appoint a manager who's aims are champions league if you havent the finances to back him sufficiently to achieve it.

I could blag a bird with a suit and knock off rolex but if she genuinely wants a sugar daddy im pishing in the wind long term - thats Everton FC for you.

£140 million losses - go and appoint Moyes or Alladyce and spend the bare minimum to achieve 11th spot and make the books healthy dont go spending CL wages on a bloke who wants to be competing with teams out of our league.

Dont sign James Rodriguez but then sign the likes of Olsen and Godfrey instead of actual European calibre players to compliment him.

Our whole policy is baffling.

 

[riddick]

My prediction is that when we kick off at whatever half, they kick it back to Keane and he boots it up to the left wing area and we lose possession.


Because that's what we have been doing for about 4 years for some reason.
