Chelsea v Everton
Re: Chelsea v Everton
I would be tempted to have Garner RB, JOB replacing Keane and Gana alongside KDH in the middle of the park. Charly keeping his place.

Re: Chelsea v Everton
They looked very poor at defending crosses last night their keeper is a bit flappy as well could be a few goals in this one

Garner O'brien Tarkowski Mykolenko
----------------Gana----KDH------------
Ndiaye----------Alcaraz---------Grealish

More likely Keane starts ahead of JOB but I'd love to see JOB get a run at his preferred CB

Re: Chelsea v Everton
What has worked quite well in previous games has been Garner as an inverted RB when in possession.
That allows him to come inside into the centre of the pitch where he is most comfortable. That drags a defensive body away from N’Diaye and out of position. If they then want to double up on him, that’s yet another man out of position. It’s a big knock on effect and creates a lot of space.
Or Garner has the option of also being a conventional right back with a great cross. Works either way. Almost the perfect option for the role.

Re: Chelsea v Everton
Unfortunately, given Moyes' normal approach to away games against top teams, I suspect we'll see KDH return to the number 10 so he can keep both Gueye and Garner in the middle, returning Jake to right back.
If we can keep a clean sheet for 60 mins then we might start to open up, but we'll probably aim for long throws and set pieces before that.
...or like my prediction for the united match, I hope I'm completely wrong!

KDH played very well againat Fulham, and he was in 10.. he just dropped deeper more often and got involved.UnsyisaRhino wrote: ↑Thu Dec 11, 2025 11:43 am Unfortunately, given Moyes' normal approach to away games against top teams, I suspect we'll see KDH return to the number 10 so he can keep both Gueye and Garner in the middle, returning Jake to right back.

His upturn in form is hopefully because things are beginning to click for him, rather than because hes been moved deeper to cover injuries.

Re: Chelsea v Everton
I'm less worried about how he'll play in the 10 and more about losing someone like him playing deeper where I think the team benefited form him getting on the ball earlier and more often.
I hope you're right and he continues his good form and we don't lose anything if he pushes forward.

Re: Chelsea v Everton
It seems Everton enjoy doing a role reversal on however I feel pre game about them. Deffo loss coming? Get a win at United. Could be in for a nice home win against decent team? Get smashed by Newcastle.
So with all that said I'm approaching this game, with all guns blazing, that we are going to get absolutely battered at the bridge.
Brutally buttfucked.
Genuinely gangbanged.
Royally rogered.
Over to you, Everton.

Re: Chelsea v Everton
I'm more worried about Alcaraz dropping out as he presses miles better than KDH. It's no coincidence that once Alcaraz came in teams haven't been able to build up from the back at all.UnsyisaRhino wrote: ↑Thu Dec 11, 2025 2:07 pm I'm less worried about how he'll play in the 10 and more about losing someone like him playing deeper where I think the team benefited form him getting on the ball earlier and more often.

Will be fuming if he drops him, especially with KDH showing he's really effective deeper.
Re: Chelsea v Everton
Can't remember the last time a team played midweek before playing us and looked tired. They always seem to spank us.
Re: Chelsea v Everton
Moyes seems to have favourites/ Keane to keep his place, KDH as the 10 and Charly out.
