Match Thread Everton v Chelsea - team prediction, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Eggs]

….ffs, it’s a nervous watch but again 100% from everybody.

Chelsea were so like the Chelsea I’ve watched this season, looking very good but not converting that to points. I expect they’ll give somebody a good beating soon but thankfully not us.

Great moment for Dobbin, I think it was about 3 years ago I posted ‘he just looks right’ so it’s nice when one makes his mark. We defended brilliantly, Patterson has earned his place over Young, Mykolenko is the most improved Everton player I can think of but Branthwaite was magnificent.

i feared when he went down but it’s testimony to his application that he continued with an obvious knock. Such a relief to see him play-on. We know his quality but he also has great attitude, Southgate can only have been impressed watching on. I think he misses next week through suspension, it’s not great news but it might just come at a good time.

Tell ya what - Dyche derserves some credit too - perfect subs at perfect times to keep the energy levels sufficient and rescue those players having a bad day

 

[Toffeeforme]

Southgate must av been impressed with Tarks Branthwaite and McNeil.

 

[Yorkiebars89]

As funny as it sounds, they don't pick utter nobodies to the Ukrainian national team. He's been there for a while and he's only 24. The boy has talent.

Well it doesn't sound funny as that's how it should be but he's coming on now and long may it continue because he's getting better and better every game as are most of the players

Give us our points back ffs. We could legitimately be looking at pushing for Europe

Not only that we could really have a go at the cup competitions.

love my everton and all you boys for coping with me week in week out

 

[Sharpies volley]

Tarks for me. Don't think he put a foot wrong, closely followed by Myko and Branthwaite

 

[Toffeelover]

Brilliant, brilliant. Now for MOTD tonight.

 

[StDomingosGringo]

In other games recently motm could go to about 3 or 4 players. Not today. Others were really good but Myko was immense.

 

[Blue Smoke]

There's an argument that pickford, tarks, branthwaite combo could play for england

 

[toffeemeister77]

Not only that we could really have a go at the cup competitions.

I won't lie I've started dreaming bud

 

[edge]

Yet again , feed the scousers ect from those tory bells
Well have that you fkn tory soft lads

 

[Bedfordblue]

Myko by a hair for me over Doucoure. Once again Jonny on the spot to break the deadlock, but Myko was immense.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

Tarks for me. Don't think he put a foot wrong, closely followed by Myko and Branthwaite

No docoure? A goal and was all over the pitch winning the ball back

 

[Blue Smoke]

Myko was my man of the match as he had to nullify various changes in their personnel and he managed the lot.
