I've only watched 10 minutes but Everton look beyond shit.

And part is our fault. Had we just held on last week or won a winnable game, the pressure would have built on Chelsea.
On such things seasons can turn.
I just hope we respond positively today.
Koeman is a fraud. Unless they get a competent manager they will never threaten top 6 even if they keep 100+mil every window.
We gifted them 3 easy points last week thanks to Wanyama. Nevertheless they would still batter this mediocre Everton even if we smashed them 5-0 last week.
Unfortunately we won't face this Everton they will much better by then.
It's a spursy thing we always face our opponents at their best.

This is why bringing in upwards of 7 players in one season dosen't work they need time to gel
I've noticed in the last couple of seasons that they'll ship 3 or more goals against worse teams then somehow turn up against us and have a defence like a brick wall.
Fuck knows why. The number of teams who seem to save their best for playing us is excruciating.
Lennon looks a bit chubby, doesnt he? Great to see him back on the pitch though.
Chelsea fans boo him first chance... cunts

Your correct although that is to say buying 7 players and playing them like what we did after the Bale sale.
With Sanchez, Barkley, Aurier, Foyth and potentially Sessegnon, Sancho and a mystery attacking been rumoured we could get 7 players the time our window is done (probably not but in theory) but as we already have a decent first 11 any new players could be introduced at our pace.
Issue with Everton is that they don't have a decent first 11 and therefore need to use their new buys straight away, hence the issues.
Not so sure mate.
Look, I think once again the difficulty of playing Thursday/Sunday should not be underestimated but I think we lifted a bit of pressure off Chelsea and with that they may not have been as confident today.
But Thursday/Sunday and on a rare hot day is hard going in my opinion.
We certainly didn't play Chelsea at their best. That went well for us.
Wenger has lost his marbles. Benched his record signing to play Welbeck as the striker. No matter only playing Liverpool.
Lovren, Moreno, Karius all playing and benched Lacazette. Gone senile I swear.

They parked the bus very well tbh. I bet even prime Barca would do well to break them.
Indeed. No matter who we end up buying before the deadline, our team's spine will not be changed majorly in the short term.
Sanchez will probably be a first choice CB in the back three... but other than that, we're not going to see a first choice CM or striker come through the door. All our signings will have to play their way into the squad rather than being bought for an immediate impact.
Everton, on the other hand, have been bringing in an entirely new spine (Pickford, Keane, Klaassen, Rooney, new strikers) which is going to be far more unstable between now and Christmas.

Do W.BA & Stoke pay the fans the season tickets or other way about?
We haven't been great this afternoon but sounds like Woolwich have been a special kind of shit.
