Match Thread Chelsea vs Everton - Saturday 26th April 12:30

[allen]

Classic Moyes performance against one of those sides away.

Go a goal down, then reluctantly wake up and take the game to them too late.

But in fairness to him, the draw was there to be had and we nearly got it.

 

[blue to the bone]

He’s not the one kicking the balls.

He's the set piece coach . We are dreadful at them. His responsibility

 

[banno]

Alcarez!!!!! sign him up. Makes things happen. Runs with the ball, passes well and gets stuck in. No brainer unless Moyes is of the opinion of Alcarez or Ndiaye.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Patterson ?

he's got player of the decade, gotta share the adulation around.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Didn’t feel tarkowskis absence today which is a good sign

Assuming we are playing those two at CB we won’t. In fact if we find a real RB we’d be significantly better off.

 

[HappyJack]

When will the penny drop about Harrison, Doucoure, Mykolenko, Beto? They are poor. Need a reboot around Alcaraz and Ndiaye.

 

[Joey66]

Every manager and every pundit loves docoure for some weird reason

Frank Lampard didn't

 

[roy vernon]

If we keep hold of Branthwaite, I think him and O'Brien can be a good partnership. Both gigantic, both quite quick and both comfortable on the ball. Got to go with Branthwaite as MOTM today.

 

[anton66]

He’ll be back on the bench next game.

He sure will and probably end any possibility of us signing him.

Didn’t feel tarkowskis absence today which is a good sign

Thought the Centre halves were outstanding today, all three fullbacks didn't cover themselves in glory, but they were up against really good wingers.

 

[Zatara]

Zat so don't you want Alcaraz to sign ?

Ive always wanted him to sign. Would have signed him in Jan if we had the funds.

Problem is hes not "nailed on" to sign.

Moyes prefers Doucoure.

Moyes uses him as a Ndiaye sub.

We saw quality vs Palace and again today when hes been allowed central.

If Moyes cant see this then he needs sacking.

 

[RomanReigns]

Mad that one of the Chelsea managers dropped cucurella and ostracised him

Can’t remember which one it was. Tuchel?

 

[ForeverEverton]

1 win in 9.... 5 draws and 3 defeats. 8 points from 9 games, if this was Dyche he would be getting pelters, and rightly so.

Unfortunately we are limping over the line, only game worth turning up for is Southampton but realistically all our lads have downed tools with nothing to play for.

No win in the last 30 games at Stamford Bridge... Everton are MASSIVE

 

[Eggs]

….i took a bit of encouragement from that, particularly the CB pairing. Still in the game and pushing the last 20 mins.

Hopefully posters will now realise why Young consistently starts ahead of Patterson. @davek & I don’t have an agenda against him, he’s just what we saw today.

Quality in the top third will make a huge difference.

 

[dixiesdisciple]

Awful first half, much better second. Alcaraz made a huge difference in transition, and really positive signs from the centre backs.

Only negatives for me were ndiaye going off (hope he’s ok) and Patterson. Sad to say @davek seems to be right on him. Was all over the place.
