This will prove to be a game too far for us this week. Being scheduled away at City on Monday with an away in Croatia on Thursday with a trip to the Bridge Sunday lunchtime is ****ing ridiculous 3 bloody tough aways in 6 days ffs. We'll run out of gas with about 20 left.............
I doubt we'll take a pounding but I think you'll end up winning relatively comfortably, primarily due to the number of games we've played this week. Our opening 5 league fixtures are; Stoke H, City A, Chelsea A, Spuds H, United A, never right.
Alright then, no Cahill is only blessing?? Still will be difficult to get all 3 today with Cescy in there.
yep, i take the credit too for reversing the jinx. but seriously Everton are gassed and plain awful due to their Euro adventures. Play Fab to his strength against legless oppositions and then pull him nice and early. Still Clean sheet is not assured as long as Cescy in there.
****ing Cescy chasing shadows. Sandro should have made it 2-1. Tony, please pull him out to keep a clean sheet or not to drop points in there. Sandro & Besic freshened Toffees.
I rate the kid Calvert-Lewin or Calvin. It will be a worry that he is coming on for Sandro. Come on Tony sub immediately and protect the lead.
I liked the substitution from Tony. Bringin Bakayoko to pair with Kante in our half and pushing Cescy into Everton half. If any place in the 2nd half for Cescy it is Opposition's half. He can do his usual dummy pose there without hurting us. We cannot afford him in our half in 2nd half never ever, even against gassed Everton players who actually played (stood) like dummies.
Just on my way home after the game I used to love this site but mostly only read it now 49 years of going home and away and people like stand flan never fail to amaze me with their PlayStation ****
Come on boys.. lets not get carried away FFS. Everton were practically playing with 11 dummies. This was like Leicester last season all over it, when Cescy was brilliant mid week in FA cup then got us annihilated against mighty Goons. Have some perspective ffs and it is legless Cescy after all. Bless his effort but he isn't good enough to play week in & out.
Shouldn't be, he showed today that he is a fine player against certain teams. So is everyone else, that's why Managers use subs and rotate their squads !!! That said, we were totally dominant today and Everton did look weary, no surprise there. If Morata was up to speed he would have had a couple more, but he did come into the game and looks a cracker to me.Everyone else looked sharp and focused, Moses much better, Rudiger solid though unspectacular, Luiz calm as a cucumber, Alonso again looks better each week.Willian was really effective, my MOM, and pedro pulled his weight. With Hazard to return and Bakayoko showing promise, we look pretty good again, though striker position is thin. Lots of improvement to come yet methinks, but good job by team and Conte to turn us around so quickly.
