Match Thread Chelsea vs Everton - Saturday 26th April 12:30

[Daytripper]

Need at least two attacking players this summer and not the usual “he will have to do “ type. Better than what we have, much better. If we can do that is another question.

They never got out of first gear and still won, yes their keeper made a couple of decent saves, it shouldn’t hide how much we need better players.

 

[Roachey11]

Like watching paint dry that, so very dull

 

[Bilbo]

Grealish on the horizon.

 

[davids]

Haven't we just played the top 5/6 teams. Not an easy game for any of them. 1 point above relegation when Moyes came and people still moaning we can't beat all of the top teams

It's not so much that,hats off to him for doing a good job,but this was a dead rubber. Why set up to win a point?

 

[BlueStevie35]

You moaning again ffs

Only thing he gets off on

Didn’t watch the game as I’ve had family down but it sounds like we were poor first half, better second and it wouldn’t have been a surprise if we’d snatched a draw

 

[ForeverEverton]

You moaning again ffs

Just hate this club being crap, that is something I can never get used to. How many times do you see clubs where we are going to one of the supposed big teams and get a result yet this club never does. 30 years we`ve not won at Chelsea... just wow

 

[twoblue]

Chelsea are poor but we manged to be worse. We gave it a go later on though.

That penalty shout would have been given for certain other teams too.

Did you see a replay of the penalty shout?

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Weird atmosphere. Everton safe, lacking cohesion and a bit of energy at times.

I'm glad Moyes is getting a good look at the squad... what kind of dollar are expecting to spend in the summer?

If it's sell to buy, I'd keep:

Garner, Charly, ndiaye, maybe gana ( 1 season), McNeil, beto, JP, O Brien, JB and tarks + any PROMISING youngsters we've not had a good look at yet.

The following we need to move on

Tom Iroeg, Douc's ( contract up, right?), and sadly probably Coleman, if not deffo young.

Plus chermiti, Keane and DCL, prob Patterson and Harrison.

That's a lot of salary for a RB, CM, and forward and attacking right sided player.

Looking at the wage bill, there should be a fair amount to invest to bring in a bit more quality. We now look competitive in most matches but just lack in important areas.

 

[Walter Ego]

What bugs me about these players is what happened to the good form. Too many average or worse performances out there today.

 

[BlueShark]

Poor as they are they are 4th In the table all the same.

True, I perhaps should have specified poor today.

 

[LEONARD]

 

[DuncansPigeons]

Nothing we didn’t know. Roll on summer

Doucoure, Harrison, Young….rubbish and shouldn’t be renewed

 

[ForeverEverton]

What?

I assume from that reaction you didn`t know we`ve only won 4 at home from 17 attempts this season...

 

[blue to the bone]

To a degree, but the players should be capable of delivering a ball. It shouldn’t be that hard to deliver a corner that isn’t right on the keeper.

Get rid of all coaches so..

 

[W84 Dum Freeze]

Gave it a go second half, two good saves from Beto and McNeil chances.

Positives, the O'Brien - Branthwaite partnership looked solid and assured.

Negatives too sloppy in possession as a team and the technique of delivery from the
wings needs improving although the ball in was delivered first time and quickly.
So more pace/whip and accuracy.
