Match Thread Chelsea V Everton 25/10/17 League Cup

Put me on ignore then mate, we won't miss each other.

I've got no axe to grind with you Friend, but now is not the time to be winding up fellow blues.

The older I get, the more the cup exits hurt.

Unlucky tonight lads, Willian's goal was sublime.

If we'd gone out playing the Koeman method of turgid nothing ,then fair enough . Everton were very unlucky tonight . But you moan and whinge to your hearts content if it makes you happy

Watching everton do much the same thing doesn't make me happy, no.

We lined up 4-3-3 with Williams and McCarthy and smacked it long to Lennon for 50 minutes. We didn't make subs at half time - doesn't take a genius to work out that was Unsworth looking to not do a 'Koeman' and admit his mistakes.

All the damage was done in the first half and Chelsea just let us do our thing in the second half.

Pat pat pat.

 

[ToffeeTim]

We didn't take our chances. We conceded from 2 set plays.

I know I shouldn't be expected too much tonight but utterly fed up being plucky.

 

[Groucho]

Plenty of positives. He had one day with them and got them attacking more in one game (vs the champions) than we had all season so far.

It was dreadful defending from JJK and Davies. Totally switched off.

 

[TrachyBlue]

Just a bad evening, watching us line up with Williams and McCarthy in a 4-3-3.

Unsworth himself said 'we need to win'. Let's see if he stays true to that in the post-match stuff.

Do you really believe that Unsworth did not believe that "we need to win". His thinking and belief is positive and the proof of that was seen tonight. "POSITIVE" - Not a word that I would associate with your WUM comments. BTW, I am aware of the fact that as a WUM you have wound me up, so be proud of yourself - job done! x

I'm not, I'm genuinely livid about that. It's a thread about opinions, and surely to god we haven't all got to get on our knees and praise Unsworth for that slop??

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Much better, stretched play, chased down ball moved to create space. There first goal was disappointing. Lots of positives for me anyway.

Exactly. That was our best performance this season........I'm a lot more positive tonight than I was beforehand .

 

[Blueway]

I was replying to Orly's post, I was happy with the effort and how they played second half, on another day we could have one that.

yes i see that now, sent you an apology!

 

[RomanReigns]

if we play like that, we will definately beat burnley at home next time.

 

[Kurt.]

Same old shiiite

 

[mmmmsnouts]

Having been 2-0 away from home against a brilliant side, while being in a dreadful run of form.

But pat pat pat us on the head, we tried so hard.

Where on earth are people's standards???

Including yours I suppose?

Yes - but anything more than a two goal margin should we lose would stop the confidence 'bounce' stone dead.

Massive game this.

 

[Gladystweet]

Damn, we need a striker.
