Matchday thread for the Premier League match vs Everton at Stamford Bridge.

Ready for your early Christmas prese t from Festive Period FC Mr. Moyes?

Just bloody drop Enzo. It's pathetic he is still getting selected and getting 90 minutes. There is no justification for picking him.

Once Lavia and Caciedo are available we can play Jsmes at right back. Obviously not possible against Everton so Santos and James for me.

Acheampong has to play.

f**k knows what we do up front. Delap will be out. Guiu clearly out of his depth and Pedro is coasting.

Nah he'll be playing ... after all he's got the CFCLDN Limited Edition Christmas Pyjamas modelling shoot tomorrow. Face of the Club. They'll need him playing to drive the sales. Etc etc.

Tying in to my thoughts on a line up to win in Italy they rotations/needed changes for this game I would like to see are:

Sanchez

Gusto (in for James)

Acheampong (in for Fofana)

Chalobah

Cucurella

Enzo (in for the suspended Caicedo)

Santos

Neto

Palmer (in for Estevao)

Garnacho

Guiu

At the point I don’t even know what lineup to pick.

It’ll be sh*t.

1-0 win to Chelsea, Enzo Fernandez winner

Just enough for the media and BlueCo bots to gaslight us for another week

@SydneyChelsea, that’s such a frustratingly likely outcome.

But it could be worth a tenner because surely the bookies have Everton as clear favourites.

Can see a scrappy 0-1 with KDH assisting Grealish for a late winner.

Sanchez

Gusto Acheampong Chalobah Cucurella

Santos RJ

I'm going for a typical Maresca borefest and Everton coming away with a draw, possibly 1-1.

We'll then make hard work of Cardiff but just get through, to set us up nicely for a comfortable defeat to the toon 0-3 or 1-3 at best.

Stop f**king about with rotating and start to put out your best XI every game.

Sanchez

James, Trev, Josh, Cucu

Santos, Enzo (Replaced by Caicedo when unbanned)

Estevao, Palmer, Garnacho

Neto

0-2 loss with Cucu getting a Red.

Will be at the game on Saturday. And bloody hell, it's a 3pm kick-off. As usual will meet up with the others in the pub before the match and then no doubt afterwards. After recent performances and results it will be interesting to hear the reactions of the fans. As others have mentioned in other threads there is an apathy around the club at the moment but do the owners, manager and even the players notice or care. Certainly not the owners who will note the amounts of money being spent in the shop by, as you put it @RMH in the Maresca thread the one day fans.

It will be the usual guess who plays today game. The other big question is what whisky will I put into the hip flask for the game. My ST is in the MHU so for those at the game follow the smell of whisky and you'll find me.

WATP

My only prediction is right backs out of position.

IF we get a proper bollocking, does it finally force the club's hand?

Good shout, but Tosin may sneak in ahead of one of those Gustos for rotation's sake.

Surely he’d replace Enzo for more defensive stability? Gusto is a 10 after all.

I'm at the game Saturday, must say i'm looking forward to the boozer before and after more than watching the match.

You're not fully grasping Maresca's approach. There's a risk Gusto might move in a forwards direction, so when chasing the game at 2-0 down, he would definitely remove a number 10 for a centre back (to play at full back of course).

Everton are on a good run and look a decent team. Moyes has never won at the bridge apparently but on current form he will probably never get a better chance.

A low-scoring game for sure. Would be surprised to see the Toffees going home with nada.

Take a pillow & a blanket for when it starts boring you to sleep!

You can really feel the excitement for this game building in here with less than 24 hours to go!

How long do we have until this promised winter break? Seasons dragging.
