Hi... also a newbie. Just want to say hi and thanks to all the people who run this site - its fantastic. :rofl:Great to be with all the fellow evertonians. Nice to meet you all.

Although defo not replacement for Rom... Rom's in a class of his own

Even if he is a little out of shape himself and probably doesn't have long left as a player, he would be a brilliant person around to help with the younger players as he has an incredible amount of experience...and it would be nice to see him back.

Swansea 1 - 3 Everton Lukarku

Has anyone got any working links for this game?? Can't find any. Thanks

OK NP - sorry

The stats say that Everton will score. Chelsea have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 league games, their worst run since conceding in 13 straight games in 1996.

Barkley swings in a corner. Met by Diego Costa and Chelsea clear. Holgate backtracks all the way back to his keeper.

STAT: Diego Costa has scored four goals and set up two in four Premier League appearances against Everton.

Everton needs to get early ball into Lukaku’s feet. He seems a little isolated at the moment after a bright start.

Costa’s ankle got stuck in the ground but he’s up, albeit gingerly. Everton can’t afford to keep giving this kind of space to Pedro and Hazard.

14:20 15' Costa needs treatment after a crunching tackle from Tom Davies, with the striker bearing down on goal. Fine work from the Blues midfielder as he won the ball cleanly.

14:16 11' Let-off for the Blues. Costa plays Hazard through, the Belgian takes the ball around Stekelenburg but fires into the side netting.

14:1206' Neat work by Calvert-Lewin enables Barkley to play in Lukaku, but the through ball is snuffed out by Cahill. 14:0903: It's a lively start at Goodison. Chelsea go up the other end and Cahill's 20-yard drive is spilled by Stekelenburg but the Blues clear. 14:07 So Close!02: The Blues go agonisingly close to taking the lead. Barkley plays in Calvert-Lewin, whose low drive hits the outside of Courtois' near post. From the follow-up, Lukaku's effort is blocked by Cahill. 14:05 Kick-OffWe're underway as the Blues kick-off, attacking the Park End first half.

Everton 2 - 1 Chelsea Lukaku .. and Jags
