Match Thread Chelsea 2-0 Everton. Sat Dec 13th. 3pm

Honestly since Ndiaye has went left we have looked much quicker in the attack. Grielish has been holding the ball for far too long today

Notable that when Dibling got on the ball he did the same thing Grealish does. Might be why Moyes has been reluctant to bring him on.

Moyes’ pre match team talk
“Right lads, you’re up against the World Champions today, so be careful because this lot are way better than us.”

Fair enough. You definitely deserved to score, but not to win. I thought we (CFC) shaded it, but a draw would not have been unmerited by Everton.

The ability to play that telling pass and make the finish was the difference. Chelsea have spent fortunes, so they have that in their locker.

Like you and Alcaraz.

Yeah his love for Alcaraz is exceptional.

He's OK at best, drives forward at least.

Has absolutely 0 composure from what I see.

Sounds like a fair few on here

Loving the vote for Branthwaite

On another day we score a couple. Ndiaye hitting the post and a few we should be squaring for tap ins.

Think Moyes needs to just stick with Garner at RB until we get a new one.

Agree mate, I definitely didn’t think we deserved a win
I just said to my Chelsea mate I think 3-3 would’ve been fair with garnacho getting that one on one and Ndiaye scoring when he hit the post alongside both the back post slide ins going in

Chelsea were very very clinical though, just much better forwards than us all said and done

Another game that just highlights our weaknesses. We all know what they are, and only money and shrewd decisions will solve them in the short term.

Moyes with another frustrating display from the sideline. But that ends in a draw on a different day. Now he has some real management to do instead of picking the same players setup which he decided before the season started. We shall see how it goes.

 

[Blue Roo]

Was a big loss KDH, diff game if he plays 90
He's the heart and soul of this team along with Illy and Garner.
Apparently it takes three to tango.

No gana , and injuries to kdh and rohl wont allow it really

By the same token, that's exactly the same rationale for why Evertonians should be deeply disappointed today.

There were points there for the taking...

agree entirely mate, think we let ourselves down

 

[nick_waters]

It wasn’t mentality it was a lack of quality. We are definitely moving in the right direction though.

This is it. Against quality players both full backs and Keane are woeful.

Onwards to arsenal. I’m more frustrated than angry after that result. If only we had some composure in front of of goal.

Hope we make it a cauldron against arsenal and have a real go. I think we might surprise them.
