I will get the ball rolling here on this game, another routine away win for the chelski bandwagon...hmmmm:rolleyes:

ShoulderChip · 22-12-2008 3:17am

will they play 4-4-2 though,

thats is the question.

x in the city · 22-12-2008 3:30am

Everton with 2 up front... ? considering we have no strikers I dont think moyes will bring some lads from the gwladys end out and throw them up front....

hmm, anyways.

If we have no strikers its probably cahill up front behind him in a 5 man midefield fellaini along with arteta,pinnear,castillo maybe,and osman possibly

with possibly jags,yobo,lescott hibbert/neville rounding things off.

Melion · 22-12-2008 3:43am

Oh god i feel sick.........COME ON EVERTON

God, that hurt

mormank · 22-12-2008 6:27am

dont discount everton here. they have been quietly goin about their business and chelsea will get a run for their money here, dont worry about that

Mr.Nice Guy · 22-12-2008 6:35am

I reckon 2-0 to Chelsea.

iregk · 22-12-2008 11:51am

Well Everton are short on strikers and Chelsea have cracking away form. I do expect a Chelsea win in this case so i will go 3-0.

Loco · 22-12-2008 12:07pm

Everton 0 - 4 Chelsea

Mr. Incognito · 22-12-2008 12:32pm

3-0

Drogba, Anelka and Lampard.

yes they are playing 442 for the first time in half a decade

i am excited.

Kevster · 22-12-2008 1:09pm

Been an Evertonian my entire life, and I am optimistic about this game. I think that we'll either win it or draw with them. Chelsea have been stumbling lately. It certainly won't be 4-nil to Chelsea, or 3-nil at that matter!

:mad:

PHB · 22-12-2008 1:13pm

Tonight worries me deeply. If chelsea win, they go top. I really really really don't want that to happen. Come on Everton!

Kevster · 22-12-2008 1:14pm

That's the spirit PHB! Actually, yeh, this is a strange one because Liverpool fans will be Everton supporters tonight!

ShoulderChip · 22-12-2008 1:24pm

So who will Big Luiz drop to facilitate the four four two?

it will be

boswinga...alex.....terry....a.cole

....xxx.....xxxxx.....xxxx......xxxxxx

.............Drogba........Anelka.......

so the midfield could be either

...J.Cole.......Mikel......Lampard/Ballack......Deco

or would he be willing to drop Mikel

J.Cole.......Lampard.....Ballack..........Deco

or will he refuse to drop his stars (chicken out) and go

ballack......Lampard.......Mikel............Deco..

he could even refuse to play any player out of position and do

J.Cole......Lampard.......Mikel............Malouda

I would prefer the first or last option, with lampard in.

mike65 · 22-12-2008 1:25pm

C'mon the Toffees - a Cahill hat-trick ftw!

SantryRed · 22-12-2008 1:26pm

Why would he go 4-4-2?

They've won all their away games this season

ShoulderChip · 22-12-2008 1:29pm

Because he has a fully fit and sharp Drogab and Anelka,

and its worked well in training this week.

RasTa · 22-12-2008 1:30pm

Another draw for me please. Can't see it happening though. Chelsea 4-0

But eight league wins in a row away from the Bridge! Why change that?

Podge2k7 · 22-12-2008 1:34pm

Normally I wouldnt be saying this but c'mon on everton!:(

x in the city · 22-12-2008 4:10pm

who are these guys saying 3,4 nil to chelski, they obviously have no idea what its like playing at Goodison.

I think fellaini will score, chelski might win but it wont be by 4 goals

riflehunter77 · 22-12-2008 6:01pm

I think it will be 2 - 1 to everton, cahill and fellaini to score

I think they nearly all are.

x in the city · 22-12-2008 8:48pm

Evertons formation will be something like thus

Cahill

Fellaini

Castillo, Arteta, Pinnear, Osman

Jags, Lescott, Yobo, Hibbert/Neville

Howard

Bounty Hunter · 22-12-2008 8:49pm

Chelsea not going with 2 upfront as previously suggested and Cahill being used as a forward again for Everton with the Yak, Saha, Vaghaun and Anichebe all out

Rockee · 22-12-2008 8:49pm

C'mon the Super Toffees!! (Off to wash my gob with salt)

A 'Pooler. :P

Im enjoying this one.

ShoulderChip · 22-12-2008 9:25pm

I find it hard to see how drogba for ballack would not be a good sub.

The midfield is well and truly packed for both teams.

Deco is having some great touches, and some awful ones, an unreliable mode of attack so far, both full backs playing very well, and j.cole getting involved well

anelka is not seeing much of the ball is retreating into the midfield.

Royale with Cheese · 22-12-2008 9:37pm

Finally Terry walks.

redout · 22-12-2008 9:38pm

LoL........

Terry go bye bye.

3 game suspension.

Merry Xmas.

Now lets wait and see the FA reduce it. ****ing typical.

bye bye terry,
come on now everton!!

ctrl-alt-delete · 22-12-2008 9:39pm

As much as i don't really like Terry, mainly becasue he gets away with a lot of stuff - i think the red was a bit harsh

difficult for chelsea now to keep this away run going

Melion · 22-12-2008 9:40pm

What did he do?

Harpy · 22-12-2008 9:41pm

lunged in studs up, definite red card, players know that these days thats a defninite red card..

uberwolf · 22-12-2008 9:41pm

that's a red every time.

And now Ballack dives.

They should dispense yellow cards like confetti for surrounding the ref. If you approach him en masse, have a card. End of story.

Going for a 50/50 ball with Osman i think it was,

but he did "lunge" as the Setanta commentators said, i thought he had eyes on the ball,

im not sure if both his legs were in the air - but he did catch him with one,

Ref sent him off after a long think about it, and a talk with the assistant

CantGetNoSleep · 22-12-2008 9:42pm

Is that a 1 game or 3 game ban?

redout · 22-12-2008 9:43pm

Well he had one of those Bruce Lee moment's.

7 for technique.

x in the city · 22-12-2008 9:43pm

Good riddance, dreadful tackle

redout · 22-12-2008 9:44pm

Haha..........now fat frank in the book.

and another for A Cole.

Santa come early this year.
