Closed Everton v Chelsea

Lukaku injured, don't think he will play. Also their confidence should be way down now, 4 points threw away in 2 weeks.

are.. are you joking? are you 12?

Why Oscar out without a doubt? He was definitely one of the better players on the pitch today.

he was atrocious in the first half and had good 20 minutes in the 2nd.

If I were 12 I wouldn't be old enough to remember the last time Everton didn't suck

Hopefully that and not settle for a draw Arsenal/MU/Spurs style last season

We have Everton next.

Intreresting.

They did play Arsenal off the pitch as I saw it but their way of managing the last ten minutes was pitiful.

The front line of Schürrle, Hazard and Costa is causing problems for defenses. I wouldn't touch it at all.

I also like that it lets Willian come into the game later, when his pace and quickness can exploit tired legs in the opposing defenses.

We didn't settle for a draw in those games.

I said before the game against Leicester that I didn't expect an easy win, that we're underestimating the team. Oddly enough, I feel more confident about this game.

4-3-3 would be probably the best with Matic-Ramires-Fabregas, so that we aren't overwhelmed in midfield. Hazard and Costa will start for sure, of course, but I'm less certain about the third attacker. I would have picked Andre, but he didn't really have a good game today and sometimes he either doesn't notice other players or seems a bit selfish, tbh. On the other hand, his clever runs and speed might be needed. Tough choice.

away we did, against Spurs we really only got going once fell behind.

Doubt we'll allow Everton to bully us like Le Arse did for most of that game.

Should be a very difficult match, though.

Willian started almost all of the big away games last season and it worked. He should start if he isn't injured.

Courtois

Iva gary JT Azpi

Rami Matic

Wil Cesc Haz

Costa

Lukaku came off injured today against Arsenal, don't know if it was serious enough to keep him out of the game next week but I certainly wouldn't mind him sitting this one out.

Costa

Hazard - Cesc - Willian

Matic - Ramires

Azpi - Terry - Cahill - Ivanovic

Courtois

My choice for the game would be nearly the same XI as in the first two games with only Ramires and Willian coming on for Oscar and Schürrle. The two Brazilians will provide much needed work rate to battle it out with Everton's strong midfield and if things get tough we'd have Oscar and André on the bench as impact players. Would also be nice to see Filipe Luis but I don't think this is the right game for him to be making his debut so the back five should remain as it is.

away we did, against Spurs we really only got going once fell behind.

United and Arsenal we adopted the policy of try and win but also be mindful that a draw away to a title rival(or in Uniteds case who we thought would be one) isn't the end of the world, against Spurs Jose was about to throw an extra forward on but abandoned that when Torres got sent off.

We approached the Ethiad game the same as OT and Emirates, only difference was City weren't as cautious which gave us space to counter.

[zolayes 14,489]

We have no need to fear the Toffees ,, even the Arse tarts got a draw there.

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Think for this game Ramires for Oscar is a must, maybe Willian for Schurrle as well if he isn't injured. Pace is really necessary to combat against them.
