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

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Stupid penalty to give away. Pressure had been building though, and we looked tired.

No real threat up top; hardly a surprise. Need a striker.

Doucoure’s arms went round him. Went down easy but what do you expect. That’s a pen. It’s a shame.

Gray has been por.

 

[longers]

feels like it’s going to be a baron season in terms of scoring

 

[jerseytoffee]

Pawson are you supporting Chelsea when you are a kid?

Been awful!

Koulibaly should have been booked, they’re going down easy and getting everything and Gray goes down and told to get back up.

Not all big things, but all the little things keep them in possession and control

 

[Steve EFC]

Soft shytes this game. Diving at forst contact. Kills me inside watching adults faking and diving

Totally agree with you but we know it happens which is why Doucs should be more streetwise ?

 

[Drumblue]

Another extremely long season ahead of us.......

 

[LocalNative]

If we don’t sign a technical midfielder who can get on the ball and play a good pass we’re in trouble.

Absolutely zero creativity.

 

[Zeitgeist]

Anyway I think we have been a lot better than last season

 

[ProZ]

Dwight McNeil is back to Shight McNeil

 

[spudmuncher]

In todays game yes it probably was a penalty. But Chilwell felt contact and went down. He wasn't pulled down. So if the ref didn't give it then I don't think it would be overturned.

That was a stonewall pen

 

[Oasis1878]

Problem is we don’t have anyone clinical, even when DCL is fit.

Even if Gray had have played Gordon through on goal (when it was 2 v 1), was anyone confident he’d score?

If it was Richarlison through on goal I would be…

 

[GT77]

We did OK mate. They were on top all half. If they have the same amount of corners in second half it’ll be 3/4 for them.

That's what I meant, they controlled possession but didn't really create a chance until we gifted them one.

 

[Ray Purchase]

We are the ONLY team in the Prem to KO today, without a recognised striker.

 

[Northeastblue]

Why are people acting like it wasn’t a penalty?

Because it was very very soft compared to some of the assaults against our players in the box in other games that have been ignored.

 

[Street end man]

Gutted for our back 3, kept Chelsea at bay easily that first half, superb to see. Then sadly done by a clumsy midfielders challenge.

At least we never conceded in open play and still all to play for. Dele on now please.
