THFC6061 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Everton v Chelsea Everton have had a good run and had a very good start to 2012 in general. David Moyes used his initiative and invention in the transfer market in January and they look much stronger than they did a couple of months or so ago. Chelsea were good in parts during their 3-3 draw with Manchester United on Sunday, but awful in others. To be 3-0 up and not be able to protect that lead was a very strange display, even against a United side renowned for their fightbacks. I think this game will be a lot tighter, but I cannot see Andres Villa-Boas and his side leaving Goodison Park with a win. We know the Blues are a work in progress at the moment but unfortunately, as far as their owner Roman Abramovich is concerned, I think the progress is a little bit slow. Chelsea are back in Champions League action later this month in the last 16 against a dangerous Napoli side, who play a 3-4-3 formation that suits the pace in their side really well. If they go out of Europe, there will be more pressure on Villas-Boas but I think, in terms of his future at Stamford Bridge, making sure they qualify for the Champions League next year is his priority at the moment.

MikeO Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I'm thinking home win by two goals....probably 3-1. Eternal optimist me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Opta stat: Everton haven't won back to back home Premier League games since May, when they beat Chelsea after defeating Manchester City. 2-1 Donovan and Anichebe, also Fellaini to boss the midfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markduff Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 2-2.......distan, gibson / torres,mata! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lelouch Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 We can easily win, Chelsea always choke at Goodison. I hope Moyes plays Anichebe and Jelavic together that partnership could come disgusting, I'm sick of Moyes doing the 4-5-1 formation at home.

Bailey Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Defence looks a bit shaky and hopefully Distin bucks his ideas up from last week. I'm hoping for another Straq inspired performance because Chelsea are very beatable at the moment and a similar set up could see us get something from the game.

Guest blueboy122 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Really would like to see Vellios and Barkley involved today at some point. More chance of me winning the lottery though and I dont even do the lottery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Good options from the bench today. Whether any of them will see more than 5-10mins is a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubecula Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Great defending there from Distin, although Torres didnt put up much of a fight! He is low on morale isn't he. I wonder if we can pick him up on the cheap at the end of the season? Moyes would have him firing on all cylinders again I am sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Donovan got a decent shot away there but Pienaar was clean through with the right ball. Good run from Baines as well there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
