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

Keeper has let the team down here.

Still think we need a new first choice keeper in January.

 

[Brennan]

It's been 20 minutes, 2-0 down and we conceded the possession for most of the game so far... What exactly are you expecting from him?

So you think he's been good ? Not sure I blamed him in my post.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Rom with another lazy ball.

It was offside too, but that doesn't make what you say untrue.

But it was crap everything. Lukaku with a horror pass, midfield bypassed immediately, Coleman done like a kipper and Stekelenberg not committing to dive at the ball and ignore the diversion. It was an easy Chelsea goal gifted to them.

It wasn't. In no way did that interfere with play at all. Stek just looking for an excuse. If a player running close to him does that then he needs to voluntarily ask to be dropped.

We'd have been fuming if it was the other way around and got flagged.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Joke ref

 

[Arteta2391]

We look like a sinking ship

 

[riddick]

He didn't even go for the fn ball, how is that on Jags?

 

[ianefc]

Come on Everton, get 1 before half time.

 

[Tubey]

Barkley a passenger at the moment. The boy has the talent but he goes missing far to often. Need to go 442 now, we needs goals and we clearly can't play this system. Stupid playing it in the first place against an inform Chelsea.

Why scapegoat Barkley? He's out of position in a side that is, to a man, awful in this game.

The approach was wrong. If you want to blame anyone, blame Koeman for setting up this way - but ultimately you should blame the fact we don't have a squad that can compete at this level due to that aborted transfer window.

That was pathetic from Jags getting a pointless booking

 

[NorthernBlue]

What a dire way to approach a football game. Line up like this and you get what you deserve.

 

[chrissyjack]

Go on Jags, lad

 

[blue to the bone]

The fact we have to play the likes of cleverly and oviedo shows that our squad lacks the strength in depth to compete with the likes of Chelsea.

 

[Huyton Layne]

My god. Get some glue for Rom's shoes so he can't just kick the ball away every time

 

[bicycleheader]

Just a fact. You can't use that for bobby when we are losing at home to Swansea and West ham

You are flailing too early Ian. Another season and a half to go! Regroup
