What about Kevin?

What about him?

Can two clubs lose the same game?

The ref could abandon it due to boredom.

Just watching the Everton game. It’s not going to be pretty that’s for sure. They are pretty much playing with 9 men behind the ball when Chelsea have it and Chelsea have created virtually nothing in the first 40 mins. Only having some joy when they play with pace breaking which we don’t.

I remember last years game being a real struggle and we were playing well then.

Would rather Everton did that than go after us, at least we won't be running back to our own goal every minute or so.

We'll win this one. Start of the turnaround. Won't be easy but I have full confidence. Roar then on, blues!

 

[David White]

Given Stones track record he will be out for another 3 months after the 45 mins yesterday.

Just in time for international duty where he’ll play 90 minutes twice in 4 days without issue. Return to us and get injured in his first training session…

Can you park the bus against Dyche teams?

Yep,both teams park the bus,ball stays inside the centre circle for the whole game,nobody tries to make contact with it.0-0 draw,polnt each, clean sheet each.jobs a goodun.

Ortega, Lewis, Akanji, Gvardiol, Ake, O'reilly, De Bruyne, Doku, Foden, Savinho, Haaland

Aye,be handy if Nathan is fit and Gvardiol could then play in his best(?) position.

Yeah. they have actually had some good chances too. Won’t be easy that’s for sure.

 

[blue ranger]

Don’t think we will see Ake and we can’t afford for him to play again and then breakdown. Think I’d go 4-2-3-1
Ortega
Lewis
Akanji
Simpson Pusey
Gvardiol
Kovacic
O’Reilly
Foden
Savio
Doku
Haaland
