Chelsea v Everton. 16th Jan at 1500.

[DRM]

Lukaku is nowhere

He's playing much too low, asking the ball in the midfield. Should stay up front and win duels.

 

[cronullasharks]

We were the better team in that half. Barkley was superb

 

[streeky]

Drawn their sting, looking to boss it now. Not going gung ho forward ,but our shape looks good.

 

[sageyefc]

Good half just need Ross 'nd Rom firing and stones to not be so casual

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Decent first half.

We are away at Chelsea, despite their form this season...

Mirallas - capable of some great individual moments but I'm starting to appreciate more and more why Martinez might not fancy him. Our final third never seems to be at it's best when he's in. Seems to have an unsettling effect on Barkley and Lukaku - I don't know what it is, I think it's because he's more direct...

 

[Stutheblue]

We just haven't made the most of a huge amount of possession.

Sounds familiar. At least we seem more resilient (so far).

 

[Jimmy Flangemoth]

Great half. Terrible reffing.

 

[polish]

Hope we won't have a usual second half slump. It's a very winnable game.

 

[Fearthainn]

They are absolutely there for the taking. Half of them don't look arsed. I'll be disappointed if we don't come away with 3 points to be honest.

Also, Kone over Mirallas would be a ridiculous decision in any one match, never mind for 95% of a season.

 

[bicycleheader]

Players should play on form

say some in the game.

dont state it like its fact Sagey

 

[dublinbluenose]

A very bright half from us I think, Chelsea look no better than they have done all season, the bridge is like a morgue. Front 4 are asking question from Chelsea defence.

 

[Sapie88]

No.

K.

 

[Donald Twain]

no card again Matic, fume

why teams avoid yellows against us lately has been a joke! It can make the difference so much, yet we get one when someone so much as farts near a player!!

 

[Goat]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Kevin Mirallas.

 

[TheAlmightyFloater]

Mirallas has done well.
Lennon has done well.
Besic solid, if not the usual spectacular self.
Jags has been great. You can tell how much we've missed him.
Rom maybe has to tighten up a bit.

Mind you, if they didn't have Zouma (great player btw), we'd be at least 2-0 up.
