Match Thread Everton v Chelsea, Sunday December 22nd, 2pm

[TGW89]

Another wind storm my side of the water. Gonna peak around 1pm around goodison. Any chance of this one getting binned off too like?

Just want to get as many games postponed as poss until Richy comes back

Don’t forget there’s the small matter of a match tomorrow!

Ok, so, are you dropping a defence that’s had two clean sheets?

 

[carolinablue232]

2-2.

2 goals? That’s aggressive.

 

[PeregrineT]

2-2.

Who on Chelsea is going to score the goals for us?

 

[jazzy]

It'll be a serious test of our defence.. could be another bleak day of punt chasing for DCL.

Yeah but for at least 45 mins the ball should be coming back towards him

 

[jazzy]

Pep doesn't make a lot of mistakes but selling Cole Palmer is a massive one, granted nobody could foresee the high numbers he's getting but most people knew who he was and that he was a kid with big potential. The sheer number of goals and assists from such a young lad is outrageous let's hope he has an off day.

COYB let's get the new era started of positively.

But would Pep have built the team around him like Chelsea have?

…..really stormy night in Liverpool and not nice out there at the moment. If the weather stays the same it must impact the game.

I guess not given he got rid. I am just astounded at the numbers he's posting, given our lot struggle to score, he's probably got more goals and assists this year than our entire team.

 

[Terrarian]

….from what he says, it was the player forcing the move.

probably wanted more game time and it's hard to argue he was wrong, he was competing with Foden though so must have thought he had a better chance elsewhere.

By impact do you mean possible postponement?

 

[Tommy Chong]

Any chance the bro-heim, Broja could get a start over DCL? Probably not.

But would Pep have built the team around him like Chelsea have?

Probably not. But he'd be playing in Grealish's position. Think that would be an immediate improvement for them.

 

[jazzy]

It's not as bad as the Derby date AT so can't see it getting called off. I suspect that eggs meant that Dyche's hoofball will become unpredictable in the wind and if we win the toss and play with the wind at our backs get your money on JP for first goalscorer

Missing my 1st home match of the season due to a chest infection, will have to find a dodgy river to try to watch them.

I live just a few minutes up from the stadium and although it was bucketing it down most of the night it seems alright now, little bit of wind but nothing serious.
