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

[Davidoff]

The gaggle of incompetents will cost us again

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

I said on the video I did last night that we shouldn't underestimate the importance of our younger talent committing long term and what that is starting to symbolize.

If you're around my age and grew up with EFC in the 90s and 00s, you'll remember our biggest concern was always "how long can we hold on to this lad for" but I don't really think like anymore. I expect us to keep hold of our talented youngsters now. That's progress, right?

Video here btw:

When we had Stones, Barkley and Lukaku, I always thought we would struggle to hold onto them.

I think the managerial situation, and progress towards a new stadium are big factors in the coming seasons, in regards to club perception and player recruitment/commitment.

We have had a poor, and at the same time significant season imo.

I haven't read through the thread but my spirits dropped when I noticed Kevin Friend (a fatuous surname) is the man in charge. He is almost as incompetent as Dross Moss

 

[CielosGrises]

Not a great period for us, we are below Palace now - a difficult run.

 

[Cameron Manning]

Sorry chaps, haven't read through the thread, but who is taking charge for this game?

Friend on the field, Atkinson in the studio, sometimes, a lot of times, the studio rules.

Looking at today's results and the table I reckon we have to win this to keep alive faint hopes of European qualification.

Kevin Enemy can suck my langer

A win and it’s 5 points off 4th and the team that’s in it is the team we just beat. It would be a massive platform to build on heading into the final hurdle.

agree with this. Lose this and its over.

100%

Anything but 3 points and the season is done.

Yep, and it's one of those where I don't see a point being of much use either.

Perfect scenario, win, back in the mix, tails up going into the derby.

Reality, probably the polar opposite.

Alonso nailed on to have the freedom of the right hand side thanks to the dastardly duo of Walcott & Sidibe.

Need to go 3-5-2 for me and keep it tight these next two games.

It’s not, there’s 9 more games for us to show tangible progress and show us what we can achieve next season. Europe or not, I’m looking forward to the rest of the games this season with Carlo at the helm.
