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

[brieverton]

That is something to build on.

What a team of snides, and fans the same.

We held out, and that is to their credit against a side that expects the ref to win it for them when they can't manage it.

 

[Eggs]

Yes!! Resilience and no dodgy bad decisions costing us..

Gomes, Gylfi, worked themselves into the ground.. Lucas, Digne, Yerry, Jordan all superb.

...Richarlison deserves a mention for his competitiveness as much as anything. He could be terrific.

 

[BlueToff]

Decent point. Great defending. Need to be more clinical.

Could have ended the voodoo outright if the ref wasn't an actual rat.

decent?

brilliant point that, given it's away at Chelsea and they've only dropped points to the RS and Utd

 

[Bob Latchford]

Decent point. Great defending. Need to be more clinical.

Could have ended the voodoo outright if the ref wasn't an actual rat.

Ref certainly had Morata’s number. He was trying everything to get a pen - rat

 

[Paulie]

Lol at Ross Barkleys influence on the game.

 

[GwladysBlue]

What a great, hard fought, point that was.

 

[banno]

Phew....good performance and we have learned that we can defend well when needed. Pushed our luck a bit in the 2nd half but never lost sight of attempting counters. Hope Siggy and Richarlison are OK. Loved Siggys display of battling and playing footy and is fast becoming a most important.

 

[toffeejack]

Will take that, a clean sheet against them given we've only had two this season. Good to get a clean sheet in mina's debit too.

 

[Igrok]

Both coaches screwed up the subs...we could have this game

 

[helpimonfire]

well deserved indeed. Team looks like it has some fight. Great stuff.

 

[Amw79]

Decent point. Backs to the wall for half an hour in the 2nd half, but held on.

Souness and Redknapp will likely argue that with both teams taking a point, the spare point should be awarded to The RS

 

[msb]

An excellent away point.

 

[Ollie d]

Good to see some steel away to one of the Sky favourites. In the past we would've lost that, seen it so many times before. Dirty bunch of shoites Chelsea and as usual whingeing to the ref all game.

 

[Khalekan]

Picking MOTM is going to be hard.

Pickford, Gana, Digne, Gomes, Iceland, Seamus all in contention for my vote.

[EverBlue92]

I actually thought Friend had a decent game. The Mina yellow aside he never stood for their whining and diving.

Good progress, shows that we are only a top centre forward and RM away from a very good side.

Lozano Siggurdsson Richarlison

???

That team would be the dream.
