Match Thread Everton v Chelsea - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Bob Latchford]

DCL for me.
Never stopped running and scored 2.

Special mention for Morgan Schneiderlin who played like Dunc had his family held hostage at a remote country farmhouse.

Gave it to Iwobi, from the first minute he was on the full back; making him pass backwards. Showed plenty of intent and drive. One of those games where we got a bit of luck (so many balls across our six yard box that would have gone in for Silva).

Well done Blues and well done Big Dunc - made my Saturday; thank you

 

[Toffeelover]

Get the others back from injury will help no end as well.

I've been crying for the last 15 minutes. My Dad died a week ago. He was a staunch Evertonian and he would have loved the passion that big Dunc showed today.

He's beaming after this.

Schneiderlin was boss today you know

Mom for me there, mason was class sidibe was class. Suppose dcl was alrite as well the donkey

Schneiderlin is a boss player I just wish he could be more consistent

Some take away from my brief time on the shedend...

1. They think we were decent and wanted it more, a few mentioned we have quality players and that Silva was holding us back. Seem to get the idea we are some bogey team for Chelsea.

2. Mount, Pulisic, Christensen etc getting some right stick. Seems to go back before the international break.

3. They do not rate Kepa at all, think he is regressing, and that he is a 'boy' compared to Liverpool's Allison

4. They would sell Zouma tomorrow

[Melkor]

So proud of the team and Big Dunc.

Long may it continue, I wish him the best!

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

4am in NZL but I ain't going back to bed now. Bursting with pride.

That level of commitment should be the absolute minimum going forward. Well in Blues, and thanks for giving us our pride back Big Dunc.

 

[GlosBlue]

I've found it hard to care about Everton of late but seeing that clip of the third goal and big Dunc's reaction has made me well up!

It is so good to see some passion back in the team. We just need to harness it now and kick on. Kind of wish he'd been given it for the derby. We may not have won but we'd have given it a much better crack.

I think Siggy is a member of this group. He has voted for himself

Yea I think his username is Ricky or something.

 

[NewRadical]

That'll do today!

After we scored the third there was a lull in play for an injury (Walcott I think), the camera panned across multiple Everton fans, all with smiles on their faces. It put one on mine!

Thoroughly enjoyed Ferguson's goal celebrations, much like when he was a player.

 

[Berenger]

Delighted for DCL. Gets so much unjustified abuse but he could be brilliant for us.

 

[roydo]

This might have been posted, not arsed cos its worth repeating.

Today, Everton won more tackles (37) than in ANY pl match this season. Not just our games, every single PL game.

And that is also the most Everton have won in 10 years in the PL.

Condolences to you CJ. We beat the RS with Kevin Campbell's goal the week after my Mum's funeral (it was my birthday too)...she was a strong Blue too so I reckon they both played their parts, don't you. Be strong for your Da.
