Match Thread Everton v Chelsea - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll.

[luuk_deventer]

A draw is the absolute minimum we need today. That may not eventually be enough but at the very least we need the team to put in a strong, organised performance to carry into the Leicester game.

Have you say I'm seeing a lot of kopite behavior starting to occur....
Planned marches, fireworks outside the oppos hotel...
No matter what happens we mustn't lower ourselves to their level

Did not smash up any coaches did we?

 

[The Trinity.]

The season from hell continues in under an hour. No real changes from our management. Gray out on the left. Richarlson in the middle. Hasn't really worked that well in recent weeks. But there you go.
Not expecting many goals from us today. Gray's off form. Richarlson is not an out and out striker. And Gordon just doesn't score enough. And the rest of the team score nothing. So I'm getting my crying in early. Reverse psychology and all that nonsense. Not expecting much.......but hoping that we score a bagful. So come on Toffeemen.......surprise us all. Win this match. Or at least don't got beat.
But we do need to start winning. And I'm just not that sure that this team can win football matches. I'm not that sure about Mr Lampard either.
We need results . He changes nothing.
Ok.......that's enough crying from me. Hope that that has been enough to cry our way into a result. So come on Everton. Prove us all wrong today. Show us that you can actually play the beautiful game. Lose this ever so predictable losing thing that you all have going. Win this match.
Up The Toffees. Our Chelsea beating Toffees.......

Wrong team wrong team wrong team

You cannot play aggressive, high intensity, direct football with Gray who will not work for the team. The lad should be nowhere near the bench until he stops walking. And Richarlison 9 is not working.

Think you might be right, they have 2 smaller centre half's.

Rondon lead the line have Richarlison, Gordon and Iwobi picking up loose balls.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Got to give the players goosies, that. I don’t subscribe to the notion that heart and desire alone can win you matches but that little boost will have done them no harm.

 

[GwladysNearlyOver]

Got a tenna on Mina to rupture his ACL in the warm up, Lukaku to score the winner and Michael Keane to come off the bench and literally sh!t himself. Gonna win 50p if it comes in

 

[cronullasharks]

Let's see if we can get through the warm up without a quad strain or a calf tear

 

[zukai12_]

Don't know why i keep letting myself get like this

Bricking it right now

 

[Death]

Were in a it full of eccentrics

christ goodison is going to be electric

 

[Kev The Rat]

if Leeds lose their next 2, I dont think a win is essential today. the only thing is, its at home so we need to take advantage of that fact.

 

[maccavennie]

Why has Andy Hinchcliffe got a pair of testicles hanging on the end of his nose? I don't remember his nose being that messed up

Draw not good enough imo. It puts our safety into the hands of Burnley and Leeds.

We have to win our home games and so it must be 3 points for me today.

 

[Parker]

Feel a bit sick.

But that could be the awful pints of Coors in the ground.
