Closed Everton v Chelsea

[Pizy 18,368]

Apparently José didn't sound so convincing in his interview just now about Costa's fitness.

Hopefully not another CL final situation with him.

[Chelsea Buzz 487]

Come on you Blues! Man City falls on their face, let's take the Toffees and head to the mini-break undefeated. I like the lineup and I'll say Chelsea wins 3-1. I'll go with Hazard, Willian and Fabregas.

Come on you Chelsea! :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

[The Chels 2,502]

Why's King Filipe on the bench again!

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,919]

Why's King Filipe on the bench again!

Because our defense got a clean sheet last week and was the best defense in the league last season maybe?

You cant bench Azpilicueta or Ivanovic right now.

According to Chelsea TV, Oscar was left out because he was ill with a virus.

Mourinho just said Oscar injured yesterday during training.

[The Chels 2,502]

You cant bench Azpilicueta or Ivanovic right now.

But Luis is better than both of them.

[Dy-lan 142]

Everton seem to run out of gas at around 70'..wonder if Jose plans to have us soak up pressure then unleash around then.

[Rom2013 446]

It's really important to win today so we can start putting pressure on the other teams that already dropped points.

Luis will start playing really soon, and will start at home, unless something wrong happens with Iva or Azpi.

This would be my starting eleven. I think it's perfect.

[nachikethas 1,149]

So Costa could be out for 6 weeks , nice one reporters

[DavidEU 2,023]

Only Ivanovic, Terry, Ramires and Hazard remain in the XI from this fixture last season.

[Fernando 6,464]

I think Ramires to start.

I wonder if Oscar was not injured would he would have start?

I still think so.

we have a good "defensive system" and a stable back 4. why should we change that specially against everton at goodison park!!!

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,919]

If it isnt broke, then dont fix it

[didierforever 7,349]

Only Ivanovic, Terry, Ramires and Hazard remain in the XI from this fixture last season.

we have come leaps and bounds in the change to our squad.

[Fernando 6,464]

I actually think our defense has been a bit shaky the last couple of games.

Let's see how shaky they are today....

[DYC. 7,542]

Confident the boys will show the league who's boss today.

we have a good "defensive system" and a stable back 4. why should we change that specially against everton at goodison park!!!

why should "we" spend 16m on a 29 years old full back when we have a "stable back 4"...
