Match Thread Chelsea 2-0 Everton. Sat Dec 13th. 3pm

[miami]

Blowing our chances and then the inevitable happens. We have to be more clinical in front of goal. And we are so bad at defending counter attacks too.

 

[lieneverton]

Just seen the score, how’ve we played lads and lasses?

Not badly. Very harsh scoreline but the gap in quality is glaring.

 

[RomanReigns]

just proves we will never make europe with these full backs

 

[blue to the bone]

Thats the difference when you have players with better quality.
We have played ok but they have taken their chances .
Always likely to happen against teams who have that quality of player. They hurt you when you dont capitalise .

 

[Neiler]

Think they just have better players.

Finishing quality between the two sides there for all to set.

Harsh truth.

 

[bebo86]

Very unlucky with that score but simply not clinical enough

 

[TheBigIguana]

The injury probably means we would have ended up here anyway, but the best side probably wasn’t the one we started with. They’ve given O’Brien the freedom of the place and he can’t do anything with it. He just doesn’t have the mind for attacking in that position.

 

[Verbal Kint]

We’ve played better without Gana, should have kept it how it’s been and made Gana earn his place back.

100% giving the fact he's away next week. He's terrible in possession

 

[chippy1722]

This game should be a victory, if Moyes doesn't ruin it with a conservative starting lineup and his usual passivity in the second halves.
Alcaraz starting at 10 is a must.

Alcaraz has just shown us all exactly why the manager shouldn’t start him as a 10.

 

[Foxache]

We’re so exposed down our left side. They’ve got quality and pace, and defense just doesn’t look comfortable. We’re better off having JOB in CB and Garner right back. Keane and Myko are both switching off

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Going to need the mother of all comebacks

 

[Saint Domingo]

I wondered when this was all going to be Moyes’ fault. Usually is when we lose.

He gets the credit when we win, he gets the blame when we lose, welcome to football management.

Why would you change a winning team and formation to one that has lost 3-0 consecutively to Spurs and Newcastle?

 

[riddick]

Let's just say it: fullbacks are [Poor language removed] important. The fact we didn't even try is absolutely criminal and embarrassing a manager in world football would make that comment.

 

[lieneverton]

just proves we will never make europe with these full backs

I hope people didn't expect Europe, put it that way.

 

[DanEFC92]

I do hate this fixture
