Closed Everton v Chelsea

If we lose this I'm avoiding TC for a while

Sadly this game has a boring 0-0 draw written all over it

I hope Oscar is available. For me the start of the season has offered more evidence that he's the best ten we have. Willian, as he often does, has looked eye catching at times but, as usual, has achieved virtually nothing. Oscar has many flaws and we definitely need an upgrade but for now we are a better side when he plays than when he does not.

At the back, maybe Zouma should play to offset Lukaku's pace.

Based on what? When Remy has actually scored plenty of crucial goals for us last season. You couldn't be more wrong. Even if that was true, that's no justification for freezing out Remy. Every player should have to earn their place in the team.

I didn't say he can't score equalizers., or any crucial goal for that matter. I was saying I doubt he would've scored the type of goal Falcao did...which was the diving header in a crowded penalty area.

And neither did I say that Falcao deserved an automatic start over Remy. All I meant was that in the situation we were in after Palace went 1-0 up, Falcao would have been the logical choice because of his poaching ability

Does Remy not have a poaching ability himself?

Does Remy not have a poaching ability himself?

I'm going off player reputation when I say this, but in IMO, it doesn't compare with Falcao's who's adept with both feet and is a better header of the ball..

[cadenza666 221]

giving Baba his debut in an away game, i have my doubts....although 3000000% want him to start.

preferably

4-3-3

----Hazard-------Costa---------Pedro-----
---------Fabregas--------Oscar-----------
--------------------Matic--------------------
-Baba-----JT-----------Zouma-----Azpi-

likely to happen

4-2-3-1

-----------------Costa-------------------

----Hazard----Oscar-----Pedro-----

----------Matic--------Fabregas-----
-Azpi----JT--------Cahill-----Ivan---

[stroey 2,525]

4-3-3:

Eden Diego Pedro

Cesc Matic Ramires/Ruben

Baba JT Zouma Azpi

Tibo

LOL We're not keeping a clean sheet. We're just NOT. So best hope we manage to score a couple.

I expect this be a high-scoring match like last season. Not 6-3 of course because that was mental but something like 3-2 or something.

[Laylabelle 9,351]

Hopefully in our favour..loosing again especially with Arsenal coming up be crap.Not that they're amazing but neither are we

[coolhead23 1,146]

Dont care what strategy we play, who we include in the squad, doesnt matter if we play with freaking 15 men against them ....

JUST WANT TO GO THERE AND GET THE DAMN 3 POINTS and have the feeling of "IN YOUR FACE, FU****"

[cfcs most wanted 657]

Courtois

Azpi Cahill Terry C Baba

Matic

Oscar/RLC Willian

Kenedy Costa Remy

Cesc and Hazard do not deserve to start unless they improve drastically in training, imo. Jose will never play this though, of course.

You can't expect to take the heart of our midfield and win this match. Even though they are playing poorly, they are vital for our team.

[cfcs most wanted 657]

If people seriously think that we are not going to be in the top 4 this season and a shit team like Liverpool or Spurs will beat us to it, then they are brainless

[mccg 1,528]

Costa v Stones lol. 0-2/1-3 Chelsea . Form is temporary class is permanent !? mmm well i hope so

[mccg 1,528]

For me Zouma has to play CB or defensive midfield i don't care !

[mccg 1,528]

what I think it will be,not what I`d do. we win 2-1 JT and Costa, for them Barklay

4-3-3

Courtois

Azpi

Zouma

Terry

Baba

Ramires

Matic

Oscar

Pedro

Costa

Hazard

Subs

Begovic

Willian

Fabregas

Cahill

Falcao

Kenedy

Ivanovic

I think barring injuries should be close to starting 11

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

As much as I don't want to see Ivan on the pitch, I think it's just unrealistic to put Baba straight into the starting lineup. I would love to, but I just don't think Jose has the balls to do it. Expect the same old Angry Ivan starts guys, sad really.

And by losing this one, we can pretty much kiss the title goodbye this season and start focusing on the domestic cups and to finish top 4.

And god knows how badly I want us to win the title again this season after seeing Citeh spending like crazy year after year and completely ignore the FFP. If by any miracles we beat Citeh to the title I will dance in front of the Citeh fans from my area naked.

[Kendrick 339]

Obviously after City won at GP easily we will be outplayed.

[supporter 3,088]

I think Falcao will be our No. 9 against Everton. Diego is playing with Spain and Falcao will be training with Jose two weeks in Cobham focused on this match.

Diego has had many problems with hamstring and perhaps is better to give him rest to be safe.

And Falcao scored a great goal the other day. For me the problem in Manchester was his motivation with a harpy like Van Gaal. If Radamel gets to be motivated again maybe we have one of the best forwards in the season.

On the other hand, Oscar could also start if he has overcome his injury problems. He started the season pretty well.

Although to be honest, I would love to see Ruben Loftus-Cheek in our starting eleven. This guy is pure gold.

Courtois - Azpi - Zouma - JT (c) - Baba - RLC - Matic - Fabregas - Pedro - Hazard - Falcao.
