Although on paper Everton is outclassed by Chelsea, I'm feeling somewhat hopeful about this match. Everton has achieved draws at Chelsea the last 3 meetings there, and I have a feeling we might be able to do it again. Prediction: 1-1
I wonder sometimes if Everton would be better off with a more consistent keeper than Tim Howard. Tim is a great guy and terrific shot-stopper, but he struggles at times with high balls into the box. IMHO, Chelsea's 2nd goal was very much Tim's fault, and Everton never fully recovered after that score. Is Hahnemann still with the club? If so, I think it would be worthwhile to give him (or Mucha) a shot in the upcoming League Cup match.
