Everton v Chelsea Sat 14th Sep 2013 - Goodison 17:30

1. What are your thoughts on Mourinho returning ?



Since Mourinho left there have been some good managers here, a couple of which I'd gladly have kept long term and a couple more that I'd have been happy to have given more time to, that said though Mourinho's sacking was Abamovich's first big mistake and likely his biggest, maybe now after the comings and goings he and the fans will see that getting a good manager and sticking with him through some ups and downs will be better in the long term, I'm as happy as you could be after seeing a legend replaced by a fraud...it looks like for the club things have worked out for the best.



2. Your opinion on your team selection v performance so far ?



Its early day's and there are a lot of new and young players to integrate, I think he's giving some good time and responsibility to players that might have had a hard time getting a look in had

Jose felt it best to risk our player of the year coming back early (as most managers surely would) hopefully he's seen enough of Mata to know he's in his plans and now he has had a chance

to see the back up options are ready and able as well, I'd pick out the non selection of Lukaku as being strange as I thought he was going to give Ba, Torres and the boy a start each but I'm

sure he'll get his chances.



3. Any thoughts on this years transfer window as a whole for the league?



Been interesting, City I feel made a mistake in letting go of Tevez and although Negrado looks ok I'd sooner Chelsea played a team with him in then with Tevez in it, I like Navas and feel he

could be the making of a player like Dzeko if he got more starts, Tottenham I thought bought well but after watching today I'll hold back on congratulating THFC on an expected CL place until they score a few from open play.



4. What are your thoughts if any on United's attempts to buy our players on the cheap given both clubs finances, and are you likely to go for any of our players yourselves.



It was always likely being as Moyes went there but his double standards fit right into his vain efforts to become a rednose clone, I like both players but don't feel we'd need them here.



5. Which Chelsea player surplus to your own needs would be the best addition for Everton ?



Torres, he'd be great...if it was up to me you could borrow moses only if you stumped up about sixteen mill for Nando :smile:



6. How do you think both of our clubs will do this season ?



I think we'll get top two, big influence will be if Eto'o can perform in this league at this level and fit with the gifted players we have, I do fear for your boys as I think Martinez will play a more open game than Moyes and without Bains/Fellaini I predict a bit of a tough season for you.



7. What are your expectations of our upcoming match, and scoreline ?



Again a lot depends on our choice of striker, if Eto'o plays it will be his first game and I don't expect miracles, if he doesn't and Torres or Lukaku plays again I don't expect miracles but would think we'll come away with the points.





Goodluckevertonafterthe15th.com

1. Excellent news,welcome home Jose.Still think the club should have given Robbie Di Matteo his two years though.



2.Fine really,it is early days after all.



3.It's a fine state of affairs when the overhyped transfer window offers more entertaiment than what the Premier League has offered so far.Hope it gets better soon.



4.Manc ba*tards!..........maybe they should offer you a lifetimes supply of err,slighty used car hubcaps as well?.



5.I guess Moses really,at least he's played under Martinez before.



6.We'll be ok,but I wonder if the Everton fans have the patience to let Martinez settle?.If your lot have the bottle to let him get his feet under the table & put up with some poor results, I think he'll do well for you.



7. We'll walk it now you've got that doughnut Martinez in charge!.Tight game in all truth, but I think we might nick a hard fought 2-1.
