No time for a fancy thread

Chelsea (4-3-3): Petr Cech; Ashley Cole, John Terry, Branislav Ivanovic, Jose Bosingwa; John Obi Mikel, Frank Lampard, Ramires; Juan Mata, Didier Drogba, Daniel Sturridge.

Substitutes: Ross Turnbull, Alex, Oriol Romeu, Raul Meireles, Florent Malouda, Nicolas Anelka, Romelu Lukaku.

Everton (4-4-1-1): Tim Howard; Leighton Baines, Sylvain Distin, Phil Jagielka, Tony Hibbert; Seamus Coleman, Marouane Fellaini, Jack Rodwell, Leon Osman; Tim Cahill; Louis Saha

Substitutes: Jan Mucha, Phil Neville, Johnny Heitinga, Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, Royston Drenthe, Denis Stracqualursi, Apostolos Vellios.

Should be a great game.

3-2 Chelsea

Can't believe hes still at the club tbh.

steelcityblues · 15-10-2011 4:57pm

Drogba's very quiet, so far.

MUSEIST · 15-10-2011 4:58pm

Poor stuff. We need the ref to send off one of the everton players to help us out. Its only fair after liverpool getting the same:p

He has been in poor form, thats why even a misfiring torres is ahead of him in the pecking order:o

What does it say on the Chelsea jersey?

Torres has been looking better, recently.

sturridge for engerland:D

Definitely! Smashing talent. He should be in the team ahead of Bent and himself and Welbeck should be enough to make sure Defoe doesn't wear the England shirt again...

Obviously better than Andy Carroll, too.

Professional Griefer · 15-10-2011 5:11pm

Yellow card. Ashley is such a sly dirty player, he does this stuff the whole time and gets away with it.

Can't see Everton scoring here at all at all. Gonna go with 3-0. Come on Ramires. Bang in 2 goals

For the foreseeable future, England's forwards in the squad should be any 4 of this 5 IMO:

Rooney
Sturridge
Welbeck
Carroll
Bent

Mr.Crinklewood · 15-10-2011 5:12pm

Nice bit in the crowd.

Yum yum.

Rooney's an obvious #1, in terms of importance.

Bent - for his experience - is second best

Sturridge and Welbeck are about equal.

Maybe Zamora after those two.

Would not have Carroll near the final squad for next year. He won't greatly improve for Liverpool. If Capello wants a 'big man', he might have to tempt Crouch back.

They always do this at the bridge. They have a habit of grabbing late equalisers against us and I fancy them to do it again. Chelsea will need at least 1 more to win this IMO

Edit BOOM JT

Well it is 2 now. So I'd say ye're safe. But they do do well against ye alright.

Game over.

Disappointing that teams like Everton and Aston Villa can never seriously test the bigger boys.

Only just tuned in there but 3-0 looks tasty...

Anyone want to sum up the match in 5 words?

smallerthanyou · 15-10-2011 6:01pm

Dull, but three points, yeah. That's five.

I'd say there's another goal in it. 3-1 probably.

Mars Bar · 15-10-2011 6:05pm

Mata is far too one - footed...

Aye! Meld himself and Valencia together and you'd have a skillful two-footed player who has pace and is built like a tank. Almost your perfect player...

I hate when I'm right. Nothing less than Everton deserve really.

Sgt Pepper 64 · 15-10-2011 6:14pm

Chelsea have gone six games without a clean sheet and they have not had a run of seven without a shutout since September 2003.

And now it is 7!

Panthro · 15-10-2011 6:16pm

Happy enough until we conceded.
Looking pretty solid otherwise.

On a side note, mars bar, did Jones play DM today?

homer simpson · 15-10-2011 6:20pm

An on Form Drogba would have burried that chance!

Edit: 4 mins..... why bother.

smallerthanyou · 15-10-2011 6:22pm

What's that 6,000 goal stat they keep spouting? 6,000 league goals?

I wouldn't say DM. He basically stuck to Charlie Adam for most of the game. Being restricted like that really didn't bring out the best in him. The injury just before half time really didn't help either.

He was underwhelming for the majority of the game.

Panthro · 15-10-2011 6:34pm

Cheers mars, I only seen parts of the match, and caught the lineup after the half time interval, so I presumed that's where he was deployed.

Delighted to see AVB putting on Romeu, hope Ramires is ok. The Blues can't afford to lose him.

Underwhelming is harsh imo, I thought he was pretty effective in the first half, faded in the second. He was there to add a bit of security to our midfield, which he succeeded in doing. When we took him off on 75 mins, Pool had way more space and created more chances in the last 15 mins then they did the whole game.

Sorry, COMPLETELY OT.:p

How did Romeu play when he came on lads? I'm guessing he's pretty good on the ball considering where he came from?
