Match Thread Everton v Chelsea. 12th Sep at 12.45.

[Tubey]

I wasn't on the match thread in the first half, but checking that vaulting I am honestly shocked at that reaction to Naismith. For me at the time it was the right sub, him or Lennon, as the tactics called for a "ratter" to come on so it was like for like.

People need to get a grip and realise certain players are needed for certain roles - not everyone needs to be doing stepovers.

Great day to be a blue, great seeing our lads not give fabregas, hazard and the rest a sniff. That's the most ineffective I have ever seen them 2 inparticular!

The result was similar to last season only they scored five fewer

still would have played with wingers, and we looked well better when Lennon came on.

Also.. naismith played on the wing, when he came on.

So, in short, Wingers = winning.

Really? Lad come on.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

Christ mate. Just admit you were wrong.

Brought two players on to play on the wing.. and we won. It's all good mate.


Happy we won either way, so doesn't bother me really.

Id like to put up my hand and say at half time I thought we were going to lose.

Vault me please.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

Really? Lad come on.

it was more tongue in cheek, but it still rings a bit true.

Besic was playing on the wing, and he's even less of a winger than Naismith, but how can you say he didn't come on and play on the wing.. when he did.

If a central midfielder comes off injured in the first 5 minutes why would a winger come on for him? Naismith was definitely the right sub at the time, the reaction was just because it was Naismith.

I'm not his biggest fan but you can't argue his impact in the big games, outstanding today, as were the entire Everton team.

I'm feeling very positive about this season now!

Lads?

Do you put salt in open wounds
