Closed Everton v Chelsea

[Waterfall 893]

More confident about this one than I usually am about Everton aways. Everton had a great transfer window, but Fellaini and Anichebe were two players I didn't like facing.

I say start with Torres, Hazard, Mata and Willian/De Bruyne. Belgium only has to play one game this break, and the Spanish duo aren't involved this time. Semi-strong (and well-rested) side should be enough against an Everton side that probably still needs a few weeks together after their key midfielder's left.

Eto'o Eto'o Eto'o!

Surely Lukaku ineligible to play in this match? He will score 5+ goals if he is playing.

[Kezza 1,965]

I'm gonna go for a 2 niller here. Simply because I don't think Martinez has it quite right over there yet and mourinho going for more goals while being 2-0 up? LOL!

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

Cant wait to see Willian and Eto'o in action!

Thankfully the PL rules do not allow loanees to play against their parent club:

''In the Premier League, players on loan are not permitted to play against the team which holds their registration (section 7.2 of rule M.6). This means that one of the 'big' clubs can loan out a promising young player to an opposing team in the Premiership but the loanee will not be allowed to play against his 'owning' club and his parent club will not be able to observe how he plays against a 'big' club. Loanees are, however, allowed to play against their 'owning' clubs in cup competitions, unless they have played for their owning club in that cup during that season.''

It's a great rule imho. Promotes loyalty. Would hate to see Lukaku banging them in against us.

David Luiz better be playing and Mata

[ManchesterMatt 52]

My first game of the season

We'll probably line up something like this:

Cech

Ivanovic Terry Luiz Cole

Ramires Lampard

Willian Oscar Hazard

Eto'o

I'd prefer Lampard to be swapped with err MVG or possibly Essien?

0-7 Lukaku's dad (Kone)

0-7 Lukaku's dad (Kone)

???

[The Skipper 20,593]

I'd love to see us go all out in this game simply because Everton are not the sort of team that sit back anymore.

Play Luiz. Play Mata.

My starting XI would be:

Cech

Azpilicueta - Luiz - Terry - Cole

Ramires - MVG

Willian - Mata - Hazard

Eto'o

High energy, creativity, defensively solid, brilliant technical ability in the front four (the link up play will be outstanding). Let's have them.

It's a joke, Aruona Kone, looks like Lukaku, atleast skin color wise.

I like this a lot I think this should definitely be the team for the next two matches Everton and Fulham

Kone is about 20 years older as well, regardless of what his passport says.

thats fine... but 7-0??? now thats a bad joke.

[Phil Driver 503]

I can name our certain starters ............................

Cech

Ivanovich

Terry

Cole

Ramires

Lampard

Hazard

The rest would be guessing ,but injuries aside these players will be starting for Chelsea v Everton and you need a team that has certain starters when fit ,the spine if you like and these players are our spine and the manager will always have this spine in mind as his first choice .

Jose will always have these seven pencilled in as his first choice line up.
