Closed Everton v Chelsea

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

Biggest game of the year to date and people want to chop and change the back 4? Thankfully Jose isn't a stupid man... First game for Luis will likely be the Capital One Cup. Integrate him slowly into the team especially because Cesar has been very good.

Everton are a good side, not to be underestimated, but I just think we have a too much quality to attack areas they are weak in.

They`ve just signed Eto.

Now we have no chance.

That's not how football works, at all. Or do you have another explanation for April 14th? Chelsea 1-2 Sunderland. At the bridge.

"But some people only see the black and white" being the key part of the first sentence in his post...

6-1, mark my words, Everton play too open

Costa hat-trick

Schurrle brace

Fabregas

Lukaku late consolation

:lol: :LOL: i want what you're smoking

Eto'o joining Everton should make this weekend's encounter even more interesting.

I'm sure we'll out play them. Its only a matter of taking our chances

Exactly! And him claiming we'll win just because we have better players is a 'white' view, so I countered it with a 'black' view (the Sunderland game). So what I'm saying is that football doesn't work that way (either the black or white) and it's the unpredictability that makes the game great.

Personally I think Everton are a side not to underestimate, very strong opponents. I can see them finish top 5 again this year, with Man United below them and one of Spurs or Liverpool. I think it'll be a tight game, I'll probably be clenching my butt a lot but as long as we take the three points I'll be a very happy chap. I suppose a draw wouldn't be too bad but I'd love to see Chelsea take 3 points.

Read the post I was replying to......I was arguing that being the better team doesn't always mean you will win.

In that case, I misunderstood your comment, and we think the same. My apologies

No worries bro! xD

[Dy-lan 142]

Honestly don't expect Eto'o to play. Doubt he's match fit. Didn't lukaku pick up an injury as well last week?

[mannyfreshh 164]

I wanna see filipe luis and MvG play.

Why would Jose drop Schurrle? Everton play with a very high line and his diagonal runs could be very very effective. Same team again I'd imagine except for Oscar out Ramires in, 3 man midfield with Matic holding. Diego Costa will make people see why we sold Lukaku in this game I think. I can see us reverting to a more counter attacking orientated game plan as Everton will probably have lots of the ball and push both fullbacks up and leave themselves very open which I think plays into our hands with players like Costa, Schurrle and Hazard in the team.

4-3-3

Cortouis; Ivan; Terry; Cahill; Azpilicueta; Matic; Fabregas; Oscar; Hazard; Costa; Willian

Hopefully Lukaku plays and is humiliated considerably, with Mourinho celebrating the winner in front of Eto'o.

Lukaku is rated doubtful at the moment.

Well, that is unlikely to happen.
