Matjic is a very big player for Chelsea. With him out, a long trip up North, with an early start, on a freezing cold day, and having had very few hiccups so far, in terms of poor results, injuries or suspensions - and having had a poor result last week when they made a similar trip to Sunderland and only drew - perhaps their wobble will intensify today.
The pressure is on them first to get the points, and if they drop any, what a fantastic bonus that will be for us. Our players will be itching to get out there later today, as there's nothing like playing when you're confident and in good form - and our form and confidence couldn't be higher.
I pity Everton - they must be sh***** themselves at the though of keeping us - and Sergio in particular - out.
Even more, I envy every bluemooner who's going to be there today :-( but at least I can be glued to it on the box.
