Moyesy says: "I am pleased with the performance of the players. They did really well today, they have done everything asked of them. In the opening part of the first half we found it hard to get to Chelsea, but then we got our rhythm and started to play. We got some crosses in the box and eventually we worked a good goal and got in front. We had a chance in the last minute, maybe Duncan could have connected a bit better, and if we had got that, you wouldn’t say we didn’t deserve it. I think we were right in the game. We are just disappointed we couldn’t keep the ball better in the period where Chelsea, put us under pressure in the second half."

Leon says: "It is a reflection of the way things have been going lately that we are disappointed to only draw 1-1 with the champions. That is a good sign for the club. We were low in numbers today but the young lads who came into the squad are all very good players and it is good to have them around. Maybe Chelsea were a little surprised by us. They are a very good team and for the first 20 minutes they were passing the ball around well but we started to get our foot in a bit and that put them off their stride. For the next 20 minutes we were getting in amongst them and putting balls into the box. We were getting some success and scored the goal during that spell. These are the games you really enjoy playing in anyway and if you get a good result you can go home happy."

Everton will try and carry on their good form of late as they entertain Champions Chelski in the 4th Round of the FA Cup. The Blues who are unbeaten in six matches, will have to do the job with a shoestring squad, due to injuries and suspensions.

Definitely out is Tiny Tim due to his last minute yellow last week's victory over Arsenal, and Stubbsey who is cup tied. Joey Yobo as we know is away in Africa, but on the plus side, Matteo Ferrari still has a fighting chance of making the line up. Me thinks that Moyesy with a Premiership game on Tuesday at Wigan will resist temptation of playing Matteo if he is 50/50. Simple Simon should start due to the lack of numbers and his return to fitness could not have come at a better time for his Boss. Mr. Versatility Phil Neville should slot into the centre of defence, and I believe Moyesy will go 4-4-2 as it is the Cup, and we have nothing to lose. That means Everton's talisman Big Dunc may get a start partnering Biffa, as the Scot will try and work it up Chelski's defence.

Admittedly it is an uphill task to reach the 5th Round, but Everton were the first team to take any points of Chelski this season, and Moyesy and the boys will be hoping for a high tempo game, with the crowd playing their part as they plot to work it up the Southern farts.

Moyesy says: "The squad is not looking very good. We probably have the lowest number of players I have ever had available to me during my time at Everton but I am sure we will get 11 out there.

It is a really tough game but one we will try to get a good result from in order to get through in the cup. We want people to be excited by the games and we want people to think we have got a chance. We know it is tough but at the moment with the way we are playing we have given ourselves a chance of going through.

We don't want to count our chickens but we have had quite a good record against them in terms of the performances we have produced. But we also know they have a group of players that matches the best in the world and it will be a really tough game. Every game is different and every team is different. I don't Chelsea will be anything like Arsenal last week and we know they are determined to win as many trophies as possible." (27/01/06)

Simple say: "They don't come much bigger than Chelsea in the Cup and we have got a home draw so we have got every chance, especially if we play as we did against Arsenal. I am feeling pretty good, so with Tim being suspended it might give me a better chance of starting the game or definitely being involved so I am really looking forward to it. This game has sparked a lot of enthusiasm amongst the lads, especially with the results we have been having, it has really picked up around the place." (27/01/06)

No doubt with the size of their squad available, Mourhino will have a little play with his starting eleven. Carlo Cudicini may get a run out in the sticks with Petr Cech getting a blow, and fringe players like Robert Huth may see the first eleven.

Ricardo Carvalho, and Michael Essien are both out due suspension and injury, but Hernan Crespo should start with Didier Drogba also away in Africa. Arjen Robben should return after sitting out the last weeks draw with Charlton due to suspension.

Do you want me to carry on, why can't we be talking about Kerry Dixon, Micky Droy and alike, then I would not be too nervous. (27/01/06)
