Going to plan at the moment defence is solid, and for all their possession they haven’t made Pickford work. They will get frustrated and take chances and we maybe able to exploit them.

Tuchel has tinkered with his squad and I believe played into our hands, with taking Mount Kante and Chillwell out, they are his battlers and they are going to need their battlers.

Let’s go 0-1 up and get Davies on as soon as possible, if he’s fit enough to come on.

Chelsea 0-1 Everton Gylfi This is the game to prove we can take the next step, every player will be pumped up for this. COYB

It’s true then no Doucoure

Been flat out today has it been confirmed if he has an injury or not, no piss takers please give me the truth

Happy birthday mate it’s gonna be a good day today, an old arse your still a pup Haf ask Mike he’ll tell you what it’s like to be old

Alonso is right about the Ancelotti’s and Francesco as well probably, although he hasn’t worked with Ferguson it’s a shame he hasn’t had a mention, because for me he’s just as integral if not more to this turn around as Davide and Francesco. Just thought I would mention it before all the plaudits are given to the others.

Please don’t be true

For the safety of the City he needs committing.

I’d sign it. responded to wrong post never mind.

Defending champions your having a laugh

Been listening to a fair bit of the Buzzcocks today, that sort of sound fires me up and makes me feel good to be alive, plus added benefit of getting the missus to leave me in peace for a couple of hours

If you was Chelsea manager, coach, player or supporter you will be more worried about us than we will be about them.

He has been coming deeper which defeats the impact of having him, what he needs is the best possible 2 or 3 players on the pitch to work off, ie Richarlison Gylfi Gomes or Iwobi, Allan Doucoure and Davies together don’t give us the ability to get forward in a creative fashion that suits James, he will spend more time in his own half trying to create something for himself or in their half doing nothing. So if you want that 3 in the middle you would get more out of Iwobi who is prepared to work harder. Add to that I don’t think we will see him start Ancelotti will probably go with the hard working battlers.

James doesn’t get himself on the ball that’s his problem, he doesn’t go tackle or chase the ball down, he gets himself in good positions and waits for the ball, when you haven’t got the right players out there to deliver him the ball then don’t bother having him out there, as we’ve witnessed so many times, he needs to be given the ball to do his thing.

4th official have gone with a 41212 line up. Pickford Holgate. Keane. Godfrey. Digne Allan Doucoure. Gomes Gylfi Richarlison. DCL There are a few permutations which if keeping us guessing will be keeping Two sacked Tuchel guessing as well.

I feel if you go with Allan Doucoure and Davies then there’s little point having James out there, yes that 3 in the middle would be solid and more than likely get you a 0-0, but they won’t help James get on the ball nearly enough, who I feel would then have one of those games where he doesn’t do enough and becomes obsolete due to a lack of service, we need someone in the midfield who has the ability to find James on a regular basis with decent passes to get him involved for me that would be Gylfi, if you go with that 3 of Allan Doucoure and Davies to start then I would drop James and go with Iwobi and go for the 0-0, with the chance of nicking it from a set piece. But if you went with Gylfi and James and go 1 or 2 up I would then take them off even if it’s early and throw Davies and Iwobi on, then give Chelsea the challenge of breaking us down with the real possibility of being hit on the break.

With you now.

Go with the play maker’s take the game to them, go for the early goal or 2 then bring out the dogs of war side of our game, easy this football malarkey

Sounds like shit times a head for Liverpool, I can hardly contain my jubilation.

How could you forget we beat Liverpool 2-0 in amongst that.

I would go with Pickford and a back 4 of Holgate Keane Godfrey Digne. Then Allan Doucoure Gylfi. With James DCL Richarlison. I think they will struggle to score against us there in poor form when it comes to getter goals, and we have a solid defence which is proving hard to breakdown in recent games. 0-0 or 1-0 to us

Yes I do have confidence in him for big games he has proven he’s up for the big stage, he’s played for his country on the world stage and excelled in huge games with the weight of a nation on his shoulders. Your question is a hypothetical one which could be levelled at any keeper in the world, they all make mistakes and will carry on doing so no matter what the relevance of the game, or don’t the best so called keepers in the world make mistakes, and if they do are they that good they can determine when and what games they will make their mistakes in.

Chelsea are very beatable, they lack goals in their team but have admittedly shored up their defence since Tuchel’s arrival. In last night’s game against Liverpool they looked very ordinary to me and won in main because Liverpool’s bad finishing, they scored a individual goal from mount against a team that have been conceding goals in recent matches, this has more chance of being a 0-0, but if any goals are scored I feel they are going to come from us.
