Match Thread Chelsea v Everton - Saturday, 5 November, 17:30

[Ring master]

I wish these experts, tv pundits, would stop saying chelsea are title contenders,we know they probably are,but these are the same people we say everton are a mid table team etc-dont mention them,even when we have ended 5th,they cant have it both ways,making everton as nothing,then when chelsea batter us,make it out that we are somebodys etc,disgraceful perforance,not even a shot and that mirallas flicked header doesnt count to me lol

 

[Dunc's elbow]

Really hope Moshiri hand over the cash to Koeman. We badly need a couple of players in January to upgrade the team.

Couple?! I'd love to see four or five (dreaming....)

Bad day at the office which happens but for too many defeat does not seem painful enough.

Other than perhaps the 7-0 to Arsenal (and last year at Anfield) I can't think of an Everton match where I can not pick out a single positive, either performance or moment.

We learn from this or we flounder. As a fan I feel sick right now. But too many of those players don't. It's unacceptable.

No heads in the sand. No writing it off as one of them. We draw a line, learn from it, make snap decisions on futures from it, and make sure we never feel this hurt again.

 

[deipnosophist]

Should have

My dad always used to correct me on this when I was a lad lol

 

[kanie46]

We were lucky to get nil.

The defeats dont even hurt anymore, thats what this group of players have done systematically over the last 5 years, they have drained all hope out of supporting Everton. They just do not give one about the club. Coleman, Jagielka, Barry Cleverley Oviedo they are serial losers at Everton. This squad needs a huge overhaul and several household names need to be shipped out of the club sadly. They are not hungry enough anymore, Davies showed that at the end of last season and the few minutes he's had today. There's a player hungry to play rather than one just picking up a pay packet.

Embarrassing top to bottom. Lennon, Davies, Holtgate should all start next game.

 

[Abraders]

Yeah. Remember when the Chelsea players wouldn't play for Mourinho? Sometimes it helps to think first before posting.

It's just a south park joke mate.

Our players weren't playing for anyone then though so

 

[brieverton]

Bin most of them.

Either that, or the world's best sports psychologist would have to be brought in to assist Koeman.

You can't polish a turd.

The lack of heart and fight in them is an abomination.

11 Alex Nyarko's out there tonight.

I would have done better myself.

I hope they are thoroughly ashamed of themselves, but they won't be.

1 shot
0 on target

That was a Miricle let the way we played I did predict RK would play poor tactics like at City where we were lucky to get 1-we got away with that proved today not good enough a shambles!

And how is that Koeman's fault mate?

He spent no money in the transfer window - a net spend of next to zero - and has largely the same squad that el Fraudo left him with.

There has to be an element of reality here - if you want to criticise anyone, your choice should be either Moshiri, or the laughable team responsible for the transfer window, which again means the buck stops with Moshiri.

So because Koeman had a net spend of zero it justifies an utter horror show like this

He's there to set a team up to perform and hes failed miserably

 

[davek]

Chelsea had 21 shots
Everton had 1 shot

At a push - Davies.

 

[TyphooToffee]

Can't argue with that

Yet he was the popular choice to replace Gana.

I voted for Tom Davies btw

 

[EFC Si]

We've not been that bad for a while. Absolute horror show.
