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

[Only-Blue-toffees]

We’ve had chances just not had the luck with them in first half. We’ve played well obviously apart from them scoring their goals. Very lucky but had the quality to finish We’ve need to have a crack when possible get a goal early things can change we can still win this they are beatable. We badly need a real RB in January and a decent striker. Really hope KDH is ok and not out for long

 

[Verbal Kint]

Honestly think we score next they could fall apart. Take Palmer out of that side and they are distinctly average. If we only had some composure with the final ball we scored here

 

[Walken]

As a team the defending was terrible. Yeah Palmer drifted from Gana but no way should he have found himself in that much space in our box.

Yeah a good 4 or 5 players at fault for the first one

 

[TheBigIguana]

Mykolenko. Is there a slower left back in world football. Or Gana the snail. Keane the sloth. And Barry? Can someone tell me what he is?

Keane is in the top half of our back four for pace

 

[mahermi1]

Do we now recall Harrison as our midfield has been decimated.

 

[Kayj]

"BuT hE WoRkS HaRd... something something linkup play... something something scored goals in french third division"

He is literally no threat at all and never looks like doing anything, he's very bad.

We messed up on this one, no question.

 

[Zatara]

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

Youre not watching the game then.

 

[Tel001]

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

Hibbert was a better FB than mykelenko…

Both about the same standard of defending but hibbert actually improved his crossing as he progressed

 

[blueconverse]

Garner right back. Keane off, Tim on and OBrien centreback

 

[Titus Shambles]

Don't think we will ever win a league game here again, 31 trips now since 1994 without a victory, yet Sunderland get promoted and do it in one go

Be patient. Only took Moyes 20-odd years to conquer Old Trafford, can't expect to go toe-to-toe with a team stocked full of players most people have never heard of......

Chelsea have only won 3 of 7 at home this season, yet we have been so easy to score against. They have been clinical and incisive to be fair and deserve to be 2 nil up on that basis. But its more crap at Stamford Bridge for us.

Even so, gulf in class is massive. Clear to see.

 

[Bluewolf]

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

I mean but it is his fault isnt it?

I love moyes but im not going to sit there and say the formation and team selection isnt why were loosing 2-0 when it blatantly is

 

[ValBlue]

Chelsea’s most recent results by the way, the ones that show current form:

Atalanta 2 - 1 Chelsea
Bournemouth 0 - 0 Chelsea
Leeds 3 - 1 Chelsea

Before we have to hear about how wonderful their players are. Very beatable if you take the game to them. We haven’t. We were content to sit back, lost our best player and had no conviction to score when presented with glorious chances.

The first issue is firmly down to Moyes, the second is just bad luck, and the third is whoever sanctioned the purchase of Barry.

I do note that Gana lost his man for both goals, his legs can’t keep up with an energetic midfield like Garner and KHD can. Gana and Garner have always looked a bit awkward together, now we have to pray that Rohl suddenly stops breaking at every gentle wind and get on the pitch consistently.

 

[bullybeef]

You have to take your chances.
They have. We haven’t.

How Barry didn’t knock that cross in at the back post i will never know!
