Closed Everton v Chelsea

[Fernando 6,375]

I think Ramires to start.

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

I still think so.

[didierforever 7,349]

But Luis is better than both of them.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

So anyone else super nervous for no reason?

I am.

Really would like 3 points from this.

I think that had more to do with our midfield being overrun then the back 4 itself though. With Ramires and Willian in there I expect them to be a lot more protected.

in times like this I'm so fucking happy José is our manager. Nobody despises Pep's attempts to change the history of football more than I do.

sorry for being off topic, but couldn't ignore this in my twitter TL.

I won't even wish Alonso good luck - and he's one of my all-time fave players, because I can't wish good luck to someone playing for Bayern AND Guardiola.

Nope in my opinion they only have one decent player and he used to play for us, who is on their bench.

Because we're probably going to use more than 11 players over the course of the season, and we want to have tactical flexibility when playing different teams.

Pretty simple really.

Feeling confident. COYB!

I was just thinking this. Pep is an idiot. He's trying to hard to be an innovator. Alonso playing as a CB, seriously?

[Christacinto 137]

Oh man.... NO .... Torres ....

It just fully hit me when looking at the team line-up - it looks so balanced now ^^

[didierforever 7,349]

cos we will be playing 60 games this season. we have the ambition of winning 4 competitions and need some good squad depth.

also, was not azpi not involved in the first 5/6 games last season. now he is one of the first names on the team sheet.
