Everton Vs Chelsea Goodison Park 22/12

x in the city

I will get the ball rolling here on this game, another routine away win for the chelski bandwagon...hmmmm:rolleyes:

ShoulderChip

will they play 4-4-2 though,

thats is the question.

x in the city

Everton with 2 up front... ? considering we have no strikers I dont think moyes will bring some lads from the gwladys end out and throw them up front....

hmm, anyways.

If we have no strikers its probably cahill up front behind him in a 5 man midefield fellaini along with arteta,pinnear,castillo maybe,and osman possibly

with possibly jags,yobo,lescott hibbert/neville rounding things off.

Melion

Oh god i feel sick.........COME ON EVERTON

God, that hurt

mormank

dont discount everton here. they have been quietly goin about their business and chelsea will get a run for their money here, dont worry about that

Mr.Nice Guy

I reckon 2-0 to Chelsea.

iregk

Well Everton are short on strikers and Chelsea have cracking away form. I do expect a Chelsea win in this case so i will go 3-0.

Loco

Everton 0 - 4 Chelsea

Mr. Incognito

3-0

Drogba, Anelka and Lampard.

yes they are playing 442 for the first time in half a decade

i am excited.

Kevster

Been an Evertonian my entire life, and I am optimistic about this game. I think that we'll either win it or draw with them. Chelsea have been stumbling lately. It certainly won't be 4-nil to Chelsea, or 3-nil at that matter!

:mad:

PHB

Tonight worries me deeply. If chelsea win, they go top. I really really really don't want that to happen. Come on Everton!

Kevster

That's the spirit PHB! Actually, yeh, this is a strange one because Liverpool fans will be Everton supporters tonight!

ShoulderChip

So who will Big Luiz drop to facilitate the four four two?

it will be


boswinga...alex.....terry....a.cole

....xxx.....xxxxx.....xxxx......xxxxxx

.............Drogba........Anelka.......



so the midfield could be either

...J.Cole.......Mikel......Lampard/Ballack......Deco

or would he be willing to drop Mikel

J.Cole.......Lampard.....Ballack..........Deco

or will he refuse to drop his stars (chicken out) and go

ballack......Lampard.......Mikel............Deco..

he could even refuse to play any player out of position and do

J.Cole......Lampard.......Mikel............Malouda

I would prefer the first or last option, with lampard in.

mike65

C'mon the Toffees - a Cahill hat-trick ftw!

SantryRed

Why would he go 4-4-2?

They've won all their away games this season

ShoulderChip

Because he has a fully fit and sharp Drogab and Anelka,

and its worked well in training this week.

RasTa

Another draw for me please. Can't see it happening though. Chelsea 4-0

But eight league wins in a row away from the Bridge! Why change that?

Podge2k7

Normally I wouldnt be saying this but c'mon on everton!:(

x in the city

who are these guys saying 3,4 nil to chelski, they obviously have no idea what its like playing at Goodison.

I think fellaini will score, chelski might win but it wont be by 4 goals

riflehunter77

I think it will be 2 - 1 to everton, cahill and fellaini to score :D

I think they nearly all are.

Evertons formation will be something like thus

Cahill

Fellaini

Castillo, Arteta, Pinnear, Osman

Jags, Lescott, Yobo, Hibbert/Neville

Howard

Bounty Hunter

Chelsea not going with 2 upfront as previously suggested and Cahill being used as a forward again for Everton with the Yak, Saha, Vaghaun and Anichebe all out

Im enjoying this one.

ShoulderChip

I find it hard to see how drogba for ballack would not be a good sub.

The midfield is well and truly packed for both teams.

Deco is having some great touches, and some awful ones, an unreliable mode of attack so far, both full backs playing very well, and j.cole getting involved well

anelka is not seeing much of the ball is retreating into the midfield.

Finally Terry walks.

redout

LoL........

Terry go bye bye.

3 game suspension.

Merry Xmas.

Now lets wait and see the FA reduce it. ****ing typical.

bye bye terry,
come on now everton!!

ctrl-alt-delete

As much as i don't really like Terry, mainly becasue he gets away with a lot of stuff - i think the red was a bit harsh

difficult for chelsea now to keep this away run going

Melion

What did he do?

Harpy

lunged in studs up, definite red card, players know that these days thats a defninite red card..

uberwolf

that's a red every time.

And now Ballack dives.

They should dispense yellow cards like confetti for surrounding the ref. If you approach him en masse, have a card. End of story.

Going for a 50/50 ball with Osman i think it was,

but he did "lunge" as the Setanta commentators said, i thought he had eyes on the ball,

im not sure if both his legs were in the air - but he did catch him with one,

Ref sent him off after a long think about it, and a talk with the assistant

CantGetNoSleep

Is that a 1 game or 3 game ban?

Well he had one of those Bruce Lee moment's.

7 for technique.

Good riddance, dreadful tackle

Haha..........now fat frank in the book.

and another for A Cole.

Santa come early this year.
