I wonder what we will do if we pull another Munich miracle and draw Atlanta (they play their home CL games in the San Siro).

Surely at its current state of play they can't ask us to take our players into a high risk zone? Maybe a stadium change similar to Besiktas playing us in Germany that time?

Well, apparently Inter will be playing their upcoming Europa League home game behind closed doors. So... 🤷‍♂️

Interesting.

Under such circumstances I thought we (or any club) would atleast have a say on whether we went there.

On another note, penny for Victor Moses thoughts.

It's tricky to move matches to some other country given Europe is now badly infected with the virus and different country is adopting different travel restrictions and all that.

Everton's Carlo Ancelotti says he holds no grudge against Chelsea over sacking

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/mar/06/evertons-carlo-ancelotti-says-he-holds-no-grudge-against-chelsea-over-sacking

“It can happen,” was Ancelotti’s sanguine take on his Chelsea dismissal. “Maybe the club wants to change something in the structure of the club and they sack a manager; it doesn’t matter. The fact that I was sacked cannot change what I felt there – it was two fantastic years. There were problems in the second part of the final year but at the end it was a fantastic experience.

“I spoke with him [Abramovich] maybe three times since. I still have a good relationship with him. He was very kind the two or three times I went back to watch Chelsea games and so I have to say thanks to him because he gave to me a great opportunity to be the manager of one of the top teams in England.”

I sorta hold a grudge! Wasted potential and a shame really.

[Tomo 21,681]

Also I wonder what Mourinho will think when Ancelotti gets a magnificent welcome on Sunday. There must be a part of him that realises that would have also been him on every single return if he kept his mouth shut.

I want to see Billy straight back in there.

 Kante - out

Kovacic - out

Jorginho - out

 

Then ?! 

Gilmour , Barkley and  Mount  

[Strike 6,958]

What if Willian and Kova are both out? Does Frank play Anjorin?

No. Giroud, Pedro and Mount as a front three.

Barkley, Gilmour in MF with 3 at the back and wing backs. Or one of James, Zouma or Chris play in midfield which they did before.

KING CARLO 

Carlo Ancelotti reveals Ashley Cole convinced him to go on ‘unforgettable’ night out with the Chelsea squad after he was sacked

https://talksport.com/football/679449/carlo-ancelotti-ashley-cole-night-out-chelsea-sacking/

Carlo Ancelotti is set to receive a hero’s welcome at Stamford Bridge when Everton face Chelsea on Sunday.

The veteran Italian manager is adored by Blues fans for his successful stint in charge of the club between 2009 and 2011.

Ancelotti won the double in his first season before Roman Abramovich unjustly wielded the axe to end his tenure within an hour of the end of the final match of the Italian’s second campaign in charge.

And Chelsea boss Frank Lampard expressed his admiration for his former manager in his pre-match press conference on Friday.

In fact, Ancelotti was so popular that he was even treated to a night out by Ashley Cole days after he was sacked.

Speaking to The Telegraph, the Toffees boss revealed how Cole instigated a huge farewell night out.

Ancelotti said: “All the squad was there.

“I knew it was going to be the last game and I had friends from Italy over.

“On the bus home, the players knew I was sacked and Ashley Cole said we must go out. I said no because I had ten friends visiting. We are having dinner at my house.

“But Ashley was, ‘No, no, they must all come. I will send you a bus’. So he sent a minibus to get us. It was unforgettable.”

CHELSEA FOOTBALL CLUB

CHELSEA vs EVERTON | Midfield Injury CRISIS! | Hudson-Odoi RE-INJURED!

 

[Pizy 17,860]

Just want to say before we even kick off that I absolutely hate Richarlison and I know that diving bastard will do something really annoying tomorrow.

As for the match, I'm both excited and terrified because I have no clue what sort of team Lamps will be able to put out. With injuries and suspensions we have a skeleton crew left over. This could go super poorly if Everton are in form.

The starting XI could be funny to see...

Hopefully not funny to watch. Or least not funny bad. Last time was annoying 

With way Man U been against top sides expect them to win after..so if we can win here that be lovely.. lose and possibly finally end up 5th.
