Match Thread Chelsea v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[JohnRoss23]

We unbeaten in 3 now? When did that last happen?

Had a string of 7 at the beginning of the season.

 

[Sharpies volley]

Koulibally was brushing our players off all game and Simms brushed him off like he wasn't there

If we get a point from here, the last train out of Euston will be rocking, metaphorically and probably physically.

Trains?

 

[banno]

MOTM torn between Tarks (solid as ever) and Doucoure (scored and give it everything and more)

Doucoure for me just. Great games from the 2 of them

 

[PhilM]

Trains?

We always get the train if going to London. First train down, on the ale all day, few pints and last train back. Easy....

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Simms may have finally retired Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Do wonders to shut up " we need Dom fit " shouts to have a chance to stay up.

I know that that penalty was always going to be given, but watching the analysis of the pen on telly nothing is mentioned about James initiating the contact by throwing his leg in front of Godfrey who couldn’t do anything but make contact with the Chelsea player.

Classic case of winning the penalty. It is a big loophole and something that is being exploited to the max nowadays

What shocked was that pace to get round

From near enough a standing start, also the power, he swatted Koulibali off like a fly ! Hope Simms gets more time and kicks off.

 

[Toffee-nerd]

In the end we could have quite easily come away with all 3 points there. We should have got 2 more points against forest too. When you look at the pen given today vs the pen on Coleman against forest it boils my blood. Either way, we are going in the right direction. Just.

 

[WalterBecker]

Get in Ellis laaar, special mention for Doucs, on target again, and a lovely lay off assist for Ellis

 

[davek]

Vital performances and points mate. Those 5 points are vital.

It’s the consistency of performance as well mate, game to game, it’s not boom and bust, we are building a mentality and consistency.

Real adversity today and we fought through it, that wouldn’t have happened 7 weeks ago.

Dyche has transformed this team. There's no question about it.

 

[RomanReigns]

Forgot Sterling played for them

 

[DavidH]

Haha, already having one, just so used to fuming at Everton. Cheers

Cheers!

 

[Timbucktoo]

Really good point to get today. Its so close at the bottom we got to keep getting results where we can to stay up,

Had a string of 7 at the beginning of the season.

I thought it was a dream when I was thinking about squeezing into Europe
