Preview: Chelsea v Everton

[Bob Latchford]

I don't think it would matter if we had a clear week, Bob.

Koeman would have set up the same way

He is turning out to be even more negative than Moyes was in these type of games.

It us no accident we have not won at Chelsea, Arsenal and the RS this century when all manner of clubs have gone to those places and came away with three points.

There is an inferiority complex which has taken root, lifted only temporarily in the first Martinez season when we had a brief glimpse of what we once were

I hate myself for even trying to look for an excuse, it's been absolutely spineless so far

 

[ToffeeTim]

Scrap the 3 at the back. Was never gonna work.

 

[Gladystweet]

dreadful !

Not even that good.

 

[Mickey]

They're the champions lads what did you expect?.

 

[andydgg]

ffs change half the team they're not arsed they don't want to be there.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

What's going on is three games in six days and playing the champions away

Wonder if we can get out of the Europa league then, because there is going to be plenty of "3 games in 6 days" times.

 

[streeky]

Hate it when we sit so deep. get the back 3/5 up 20 yds ,engage chelsea higher up the pitch and get in the game.

 

[flibbyflob]

Get in DCL for Sandro. Sandro looks unfit.

He is, clearly nowhere near fit.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Set up like a League Two team who has just been drawn against a Premier League team.

Sick to death of this attitude at the bigger teams away from home.

Nothing has changed since the Moyes era, in that regard.

Agree with this. Until we get players like Jagielka out of the club, we will maintain this inferiority complex.

Rooney looking like the only one who is arsed. A born winner.

 

[LinekersLegs]

Mirallas is at an airport ..

Wish I was

 

[Rook]

Niasse must be better than Sandro ?

 

[matty1878]

Hating these excuses. Three games in quick succession at this stage of the season should be an advantage.

The reason we're getting pummelled is because they are better than us, just as six teams in this league are better than us. The sooner we accept that the sooner we can make steps to improve.

We've been making the same excuses for 20+ years now.

So if you know the reason why you moaning? Don't get people at times.

 

[devogue]

Honestly don't care. Played 3 hard games this week.

 

[Khalekan]

turning this rubbish off

Same here.

Watching these insipid away performances is doing my blood pressure no good.

Cut the losses and do sommat more pleasurable for the next hour

 

[bullybeef]

Watching live on CNBC.

Everton have been woeful so far.
Not even close to troubling Chelsea.

Judging by this we need a few more in.
