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

[nsno_traditionally]

Played some good football, got in to some decent positions but couldn't make it count whilst slack defending and clinical finishes has undone us the other end, very frustrating but get the next goal and you never know.

 

[Walken]

They'e done nothing for that lead, absolutely all on ourselves that

 

[PhilRegan]

So much wasted especially down the right. Obrien just isn't on fullback wave length

 

[Bebeto]

Unsurprisingly diabolical in the final third.

Final third is where you see the money the 2 teams have invested. We are miles behind and it will take many windows to correct , especially with angus in charge.

DM team selection seals our fate - the old adage never change a winning team springs to mind ...
A big blow losing KDH - but undone twice on our left hand side after being on top ....

 

[Preki]

Very poor goals. They look pretty average but as has been posted elsewhere we haven't got any conviction in front of goal. We've created several half chances to score at least one.

 

[carolinablue232]

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

Didn’t play poorly tbh. Just can’t finish off any moves and Chelsea can punish every mistake.

 

[GoldenToffee]

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.

Surely a striker is all set to join on January 1st.

Who am I kidding though? We all know we all with what we've got up front because "better isn't available", same with our abysmal right back options, seemingly there are no other right backs available in world football.

 

[Vaughan]

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

yep just dont think we'll see it anytime soon again especially now if kdh has a spell on the sidelines

 

[sexualchocolate]

Forget a striker in January, if we don't buy a left back then we're done, he's on a par with Hibbert....Garner should have been RB today

 

[Drico]

just proves we will never make europe with these full backs

Europe's a pipe dream. We'll end about 12th. Squad is too thin, has no full backs, has no strikers, and a manager who has his cast-iron favourites and a tendency to pick our best player out of position.

 

[Frenk]

Think they just have better players.

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

Harsh truth.

Yeah but we haven’t won there since 1994 apparently while poorer teams have. For me it’s our mentality we just seem to be resigned to a loss before a ball is even kicked.

 

[Verbal Kint]

Very unlucky with that score but simply not clinical enough

Yeah 100% agree only ourselves to blame. Look at Chelsea first goal, not in the game at all and a moment of quality and goal....

We've been in better positions and just taken the wrong option every damn time.

 

[Efcbradley89]

No way Gana should've walked straight back into a winning team after such a brain dead red card.

Some day we’ll be able to sell our own hotel to ourselves and avoid PSR so we can spend hundreds of millions of pounds.
