They like to get the thoughts of their opponents before each game as you can see below: Villa fans view on recent Chelsea game: http://www.cfclatest.com/2015/02/06/villa-fans-thoughts-on-chelsea-visit/ What were your expectations for Everton at the start of the season? To be pushing hard for top 6, possibly top 4. Plus a decent run in the FA Cup and Europa. Where do you expect Everton will finish in the league this season and in the Europa Cup? 7th or 8th. Unfortunately. We'll come on strong though. The Europa is a tough one. Hard to call as you don't know who is next. There's some quality teams in there. We'll get through to the Round of 16. Hopefully to Quarter Final. We may meet our match there. How would you compare the merits of David Moyes to Roberto Martinez? Tough one. Martinez has a much better footballing philosophy and more positive outlook. Moyes could never shake off the underdog tag and that held us and him back in the end. They have totally different mindsets. For me, Martinez trumps Moyes. But time will tell. Who should Chelsea be wary of in your team? If he turns up, Mirrallas. He can be the difference and make things happen. We just need him to turn up!!! Who do you worry about in their team? Well Costas out so that's one down. Then take your pick from Hazard, Oscar and William! All can produce game winning moments. Score prediction? Well we won't go all 'gungho' like at Goodison...so no 9 goal thriller! At best for us, a 1-1 draw. Depends how we set up. Maybe a 2-1 defeat. Finally, what was the first Everton v Chelsea game you remember? Do any other of your clashes stick in your mind? My memories shit so this one's not for me!!! I know it is a bit early to be getting views on Wednesdays but I'm in hospital overnight on Tuesday so cant be helped.

A real challenge for the top 4. Minimum top 6 finish Where do you expect Everton will finish in the league this season and in the Europa Cup? I expect to finish outside the top 10. 11th if I was to pick. I expect us to get through the next round of the Europa. After that who knows?With it being a cup anything can happen. Would love to win it. How would you compare the merits of David Moyes to Roberto Martinez? Martinez definitely has a better attacking philosophy. But our defense has suffered. He needs to find the right balance. It's hard to compare the two as Moyes was here for a long time and Martinez just over 18 months. However at the moment I'd feel much more secure under Moyes than I do with Martinez in terms of a relegation threat Who should Chelsea be wary of in your team? Kevin Mirallas Who do you worry about in their team? Their attacking midfielders Hazard, Willian and Oscar are most certainly a threat. If Costa could play I would say him too. Score prediction? 1-0 Chelsea. Could always be a thumping against Chelsea though! Finally, what was the first Everton v Chelsea game you remember? Do any other of your clashes stick in your mind? Zola lobbing Richard Wright at the bridge we got battered that day. I know it is a bit early to be getting views on Wednesdays but I'm in hospital overnight on Tuesday so cant be helped.

They like to get the thoughts of their opponents before each game as you can see below: Villa fans view on recent Chelsea game: http://www.cfclatest.com/2015/02/06/villa-fans-thoughts-on-chelsea-visit/ What were your expectations for Everton at the start of the season? I expected no worse than last year, which is optimistic at this point. I do think we'll improve in the final third and make the top seven or eight. Where do you expect Everton will finish in the league this season and in the Europa Cup? I'm really hoping we'll go the distance in the Europa - final four at least. How would you compare the merits of David Moyes to Roberto Martinez? I can only repeat what others have said about David Moyes. He kept the expectations low and tried to exceed them - which is a savvy approach. Martinez promised European football at the outset, and this year has failed to meet expectations. That shows that Moyes was a better "executive", if you will. Personally, though, I believe that you have to set BHAGs in order to achieve them. For the longer term, I can see Everton become a perennial Top-4 team under Martinez. It's just going to take a couple more years to get there (with some of Moyes-era players retiring and new blood coming through). Who should Chelsea be wary of in your team? Lukaku has a point to prove. Mirallas is a creative player (when he shows up). The player to be most wary of, though, is Naismith. He has a knack of scoring in the big games. Who do you worry about in their team? Since Costa is serving a ban, I'm not worried about anyone. Score prediction? 1-1, and possibly even an Everton win. Chelsea are working their way through an indifferent period right now. They'll be the champions this year, but now is the time to play them. Finally, what was the first Everton v Chelsea game you remember? Do any other of your clashes stick in your mind? I can remember Everton thrashing Chelsea 5-2 under Harry Catterick. I'd have to look up what season that was. In the early 70s, I think. I know it is a bit early to be getting views on Wednesdays but I'm in hospital overnight on Tuesday so cant be helped.

European football again, either CL or EL, and a good run in the FA Cup Where do you expect Everton will finish in the league this season and in the Europa Cup? Still think 8th, following the reevaluation back in November. There are still a lot of points to pick up and a decent run of 3-4 wins on the bounce will throw things wide open again. Just need that run to start! How would you compare the merits of David Moyes to Roberto Martinez? In all honestly, they're more similar than people think. Both unbelievably stubborn, apparently have their favourites, weird substitutions, etc. In a perfect world, I'd have them working side by side but there is no way either personality would allow that to happen. Moyes was strict, disciplined but too cautious. Martinez is too blazé for my liking, doesn't seem to know how mix discipline with encouraging the young talents. Who should Chelsea be wary of in your team? Noone at the moment, we're concentrating on stability I think more than attacking. Who do you worry about in their team? Pretty much every one Willian is on form, Oscar is a menace, Hazard is up there with Messi for me. At least Costa is out for the game and I'm really hoping the rumours of Fabregas coming back against us are wrong. Score prediction? Chelsea 4 - Everton 2 Finally, what was the first Everton v Chelsea game you remember? Do any other of your clashes stick in your mind? Its only the games of the last 10 years really, for obvious reasons, and even then its mainly the cup games.

Lower league finish than last year, good run in a cup, some progression in the Europa League. So far, we've managed 2/3. With the other one not ever happened. Where do you expect Everton will finish in the league this season and in the Europa Cup? Finish 11th, will get through the next round of the Europa League and get knocked out in the following round. How would you compare the merits of David Moyes to Roberto Martinez? Moyes - Organised, tough, workman like in effort but the players not necessarily up to technical ability. Scraped wins and moaned about everything. Martinez - Not organised, free flowing (somewhat boring possession football), positive attitude, terrible at substitutions but have technical players at his disposal, just doesn't seem to know how to get the best out of them. Who should Chelsea be wary of in your team? John Stones. Won't be anyone attacking wise, because to be quite frank, we're terrible in attack (even though we have the personnel). Stones because he'll make it difficult for you to get past. Who do you worry about in their team? Hazard. Remy. Ivanovic. Courtouis. Score prediction? Chelsea 3 - 1 Everton Finally, what was the first Everton v Chelsea game you remember? Do any other of your clashes stick in your mind? First one I remember watching fully was when Everton beat Chelsea is 98', i think it was 3-1. Others, has to be either Cahill Over-head kick in 89th minute in 07' for me. Crazy scenes.

Europa is anyone's guess, I think there are probably twelve teams that could win it and we're one of them. Draw will be all important, I don't expect us to win it but it'd be nice to get into last four How would you compare the merits of David Moyes to Roberto Martinez? All been said above really; Moyes had run his course and Roberto has gone from deity to pariah in a few short months. He's neither obviously, some want him gone but I think he'll turn things round. Who should Chelsea be wary of in your team? . All of them (unless McGeady plays in which case just the other ten) . Who do you worry about in their team? We fear nobody . Score prediction? Don't normally predict until I see the team; but it'll be different from Goodison. You won't score six and we won't score three; all logic suggests a home win but our defence is much more solid and organised of late, heart says 1-0 Everton with a late Jermaine Beckford-esque breakaway by Mo Besic, head says 2-0 Chelsea. Finally, what was the first Everton v Chelsea game you remember? Do any other of your clashes stick in your mind? Really struggling to remember the first one, would've been with my dad at Stamford Bridge (in the late 60s) because I'm a southerner. LIved in Wimbledon for ten years from 1985 so went to all the matches at the Bridge then but was hitting the beer pretty hard at the time so the games are a bit of a blur . Main memory is the fact that the police would never let me cross the bridge to the Wimbledon bound platform at Putney Bridge station because I was being herded with the rest of the Everton fans back to Euston. Used to have to go up to West Brompton, get off and come home from there. I know it is a bit early to be getting views on Wednesdays but I'm in hospital overnight on Tuesday so cant be helped.

johnh Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Off topic but just thought I'd mention it. I saw Leeds United beat Chelsea 2 - 0 at Elland Road in the early 1960's. Albert Johanesson scored both goals. Also saw Peter Osgood play at Elland Road in his first season at Chelsea, I think he was only about 18 at the time. Used to drink occasionally with Peter Osgood in the Red Lion at Oakley Green (nr Windsor) after he retired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
