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

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

Hopefully everyone screaming for bernard every week can now pipe down

Been one of our best players, he's got Davies inside him and Sidibe behind him, not much to work with eh?

First goal is a combination of Davies inexplicably leaving his man, Bernard creating a 2v3 by not getting all the way back and Sidibe being really poor when Pedro dribbled at him. Very avoidable.

The second shows why Sidibe and Keane shouldn't be playing at the same time. Also Keane has been abused by Giroud and that killed our press because the long ball was getting them out too.

I'll be old and grey before I see us win away to one of these sides. Grim.

I’m already the latter

[Amw79]

Our lack of pace, power and tackling in the middle of the park is so obvious. We close down in such a half hearted way.

 

[Furey1878]

Get Kean/Walcott on, go 4-3-3, Mina for Bernard and put Holgate in midfield

 

[Archie Knox]

To people slating Richarlison and DCL - just imagine how demotivating it must be so have to play in front of those other 9 players, knowing that you basically need to do it all yourself. They must have been gutted even before the game. No wonder we have this defeatist attitude.

 

[matty1878]

guys i am sure the only way to deal with this is to tear strips out of each other until someone offers someone a real life fight and gets banned.

This is the norm

 

[Bebeto]

The midfield and sidibe needs replacing

Entire team has been poor...easy to target individuals...but from top to midfield to defense it has been extremely poor...

 

[Irish nsno]

Can anyone take any positives out of that apart from the fact its only 2?

Yes... We're not 5 nil down.

 

[N.S.N.O.]

So many players need binning.. Keane, Sidibe, Davies, Sigurdson, Walcott, Iwobi... On top of the other players we already can't get rid of, it really does need to be a busy summer in the transfer market..

My big concern here is, when I look at the bench, there's nothing there that would have been any better than the thrash that started.

 

[everton1953]

Carlo's task to produce a good squad is monumental. The only good thing so far is that Sidibe is not our player. We knew in advance that the midfield is rubbish and why Siggy is always picked is a mystery.

 

[Davidoff]

The incompetents: Sidibe, Sigurdsson, Davies, Keane, are dragging the rest down to their level

 

[mceverton]

Put Holgate in midfield

They’res no defeatist attitude probably is on here tho, the players are crap that’s it.
