Everton v Chelsea

Not a striker in sight !!!

COYB

Hmmm. Not a fan of this line up.
Got the eye op on Monday so having to stay away from GP.
Get the blue flares out boys, cause we're gonna need em until the window closes, and we've got at least one striker and 2 midfielders.

Hope it goes well for you mate.

So all the noise about Dele starting up front was either BS to bluff Tuchel... or Frank had a re-think

either way it doesn't look good for us does it

FL and Thelwell seem to be in agreement about 3-4-3, but I'm just not convinced at the level we are at.
Maybe a few elite teams can play it effectively, but maybe that changes when Gueye and Onana arrive?

We've got 3 bruisers in the back 3, and they've got 3 whippets.
That usually means the 2 wingbacks will get pushed back, particularly on the Sterling side/

and here we go a new season

COYB

Kind of odd to see Sterling in a Chelsea shirt.

COYB!!!!

I am surprised Iwobi is in instead of Allan.. next to the Duke

So Gordon has spilt a bottle of peroxide on his head & leads the line

WTF are we doing ... are we trying to gift them a goal !!

Why did Godfrey pass the ball backwards there to Pickford???? So f'n stupid. If you don't have lots of options, just f'n hoof the ball upfield!

And Godfrey has injured himself in the process. Go figure.

so that's the end of Godfrey

looks nasty... someone to keep DCL company for a few months eh

Holgate about to come on for Godfrey.

Holgate on for Godfrey... who looks really fucked up.. oxygen and all

Not quite clear to me as to what happened to Godfrey but he has oxygen so it's likely a rather bad injury.

he absolutelt clattered into the challenge.. my guess ie into the boards & ankle ahs gone south ... literally.... Gomes style

bad enough that they aren't showing a replay

stretchered off

hope it's not as bad as it looks ... but I fear it's a shocker for Godfrey

restarted now...

COYB ... concentrate !!

just as well Coady is just about to sign

FFS ... 18 minutes into the new season & we have 2 badly crocked players

everton int it

great ball in by Gray .. Gordon nowhere near it... DCL would connect there

What a cross by Gray, headed clear though.

Sterling is... well.... don't like him.

Tarky close... good stuff

I loved the long pass by Tarkowski. If it goes out of play, so what? Instead we have a corner seconds later.
