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

Chicago mate. I think it's about 20 mins to kick off. You watching it?

Coleman has been poor to average since his apex in Martinez' first season.

He has had niggly injuries, but I can't fathom it.

He looked like a genuine star 2 1/2 years ago.

Since then its been a slow decline.

Basically he benefitted from Baines playing brilliant mate, and the opp attention being other side of the park. Never been able to cross a ball and average defensively, but like ivanovich his strength was causing havoc going forward and that's faded to stopping and passing back

Coleman was utter crap

He should never have walked right back into the side considering how well Holgate was playing.

I've been an Evertonian since 1963 but I am also the eternal optimist.

Wish I was they drive me insane.

As always, Scholes on the money. There's no positives here whatsoever.

 

[deipnosophist]

No mate, turned it off at 2-0...writing was on the wall... this is a very poor Everton side and I apologise for making you support them lol. Say hi to the kids

You will struggle to find a weaker, limp wristed performance this season across the league

Traveling this weekend, so completely missed this game. Bullet dodged for me, but no hiding place for all those that went to the game. Feel for you folk

Koemans interview on BT was as bad as our performance!

My point is there will be a scapegoat and the easy option was to put Cleverley as the easiest option, you posted the big photo of him which indicates I was right to single him out.

As for the man crush....at a loss for words at the stupidity of it

So let's say you have 11 cars.

10 of them - BMW's, Mercedes', Audi's - next to top models, you paid a lot of money for them.
The last, eleventh one, is a Trabant.

Of course I'll call the hilariously bad Cleverley what he is - a criminal against football. Has been in every game he's played in. That doesn't make him a scapegoat, it just makes him a really, really, REALLY bad footballer.

I made that assertion because it was you who suggested he's some kind of saint and doesn't deserve to be called bad for some reason, but honestly mate, wake up, he's never been a good footballer. At best he was average, on his good days, the 5 good games he's had in his entire pitiful career, up until he joined us and we started giving him starts for literally no reason, as a piece of soggy bread has more footballing ability than him. Fairly sure there are treestumps with more mobility than him.

As for this game - literally everyone except Lennon and Davies were absolute crap and deserve a month's wages off, just for this abysmal showing.

What did he say?

 

[Abraders]

I apologise unreservedly. I must admit I was surprised when I realised it was you who made the comment because you are usually on the money.

Nice one mate!

Very disappointed with today, Sort of trying to laugh it off though is all.

Get rid now

Unless you have a massive wheelie bin to put that lot in they are going nowhere,you could offer them for free and still struggle to get any takers for at least 3 of them

 

[Joey66]

What did he say?

A load of waffle spoke more about Chelsea than us, a men in black interview, no wonder the team were clueless he did hint they ran faster than us? Yes
