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

[Tipp blue]

It's windy, it's squally and it's bloody cold.

Dyche weather.

1-0 Everton

Can Chelsea do it on a windy, wet and cold Sunday afternoon in Liverpool?

 

[Zatara]

Unchanged after Arsenal makes sense. If we can keep the Temu Drogba and the kid with hypothermia quiet, we may nick something but I'm not confident. New era though so hopefully we get a more progressive manager. Up The Friedkin Toffees (UTFT)!

That midfield is so poor. Perhaps we need to add a CM to our January wish lists...

We have a fairly good record at home against Chelsea, there is the new owners and stadium boost (this may help the fans more than players) and the weather.

I'm confident today, which usually means we'll be tonked.

Dyche didn't want O'Brien: join the dots between the Textor bid, Lyon's financial worries and O'Brien.

I think we would have been in a better place of o'brien startd over keane for the opening games of the season. Seems odd that people think he is not good enough. The same person who deesn't start jake starts grandpa docoure who is useless at this point of his career.

He really doesn’t but the next manager will.

For a different thread but i expect him to be moved on in Jan.

Dyche weather.

1-0 Everton

He’ll be in a vest, shorts and sliders (no socks)

It's certainly very wind here, but it's nowhere near as bad as it was when the derby was called off. No chance that this will be cancelled IMO.
2-0 home win.

I remember that fella Doug Rougvie centre back for them,erm proper old school is the politest term I can think of to describe him

I am old enough to remember Ron 'chopper' Harris.

Still with us at 80 I see.

 

[Zatara]

i would say this is no different to the one that was called off personally, with an uneducated wet finger in the air.

Big players needed.

Whilst a good player I've got absolutely no time for that gormless looking ming with the stupid celebration.

Bit harsh on Keane ?

Nah probably not.

Micky Droy was another for them. “Uncompromising” would be a polite way of describing him.

Only if Thelwell agrees; Dyche's thoughts and feelings won't limit what the club believe is the right option in the long-term.

A proper dog him. They had a few.

Well, the kopites were afraid too.

They played us in a midweek game with some mad kit on .
They had half a team of monsters , Droy, think they had one called Brittin ect we beat them anyway.

Flip flops, none of this woke nonsense.

He'll be 24 in May with one season at Lyon to his name.

Unused / untrusted by Dyche and without any 'Textor factor' it would make sense for the DOF to limit their risk on this signing.

With a sale it would also enable us to aim for a superior replacement now we have the ability to pay upfront rather than low downpayments.

Mrs TT informed me yesterday that her daughter is visiting today, around an hour before KO, and that the plan was to watch It's a Wonderful Life (as it's my birthday tomorrow and it's one on my favourite films) so maybe it won't be so bad, for me a least, if the game gets called off. I hope though, for those travelling to Goodison, that it isn't .

Have a wonderful birthday TT .

It's a tradition in the Jazzy household to watch the greatest ever Christmas film , It's a Wonderful Life on Christmas Eve with some bubbles.

Think I know every line and I love it.
