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

[dublinbluenose]

Worst performance sine the last derby, abismal from 1 to 11. Absolutely nothing positive to take from that half.

 

[BlueToff]

Only positive I can take from this game is I'm getting paid to watch it.

That's the worst we've played since the derby in April.

Awful.

Had no issue with the team at the start but just shows how much we miss Gueye.

Chelsea have been class, and they could rip anybody apart at the moment, but we have been terrible.

If we are lucky, there might be an earthquake or something.

 

[Nil Satis Niasse Optimum]

Again, we should just be thankful we have Lukaku as without him we'd be in the relegation zone already. Sounds familiar, eh?

Both our goalkeepers are absolute garbage.
We have one good centre back in the entire squad (Williams), one average one (Mori) and one who seems to have lost his legs in recent months (Jagielka), then zero backup.
Our fullbacks used to be our biggest assets, but now offer very little. Baines seems to be constantly injured, Coleman has dropped right off and, again, no backup of quality if Holgate won't be given a chance.
Aside from Barry and Gueye, we have no quality whatsoever in the defensive midfield position.
None of our wingers are any good on a consistent basis. Bolasie is probably the best one, and he's only good for 1 game in 5.
We have one real striker in the entire squad.

Conclusion: We'll finish mid-table. That's about how good we are. Billionaire owner though lads.

Liverpool go to Stamford Bridge , they press and don't sit back like [Poor language removed] and win 2-1. We play with no energy or passion and this is what happens. Congratulations Koeman.

We don't have the players to press. We have Lukaku who does for about 10 minutes a match, Barkley who does when he wants to, Bolasie who doesn't really ever, Mirallas who tries but not really and a completely invisible midfield.

 

[Abraders]

Why in terms of managers did we go from one extreme to the other.

Whole team has been proper bad first half damn.

 

[hktoffee]

All our defenders are like the old Distin today...lauched in every tackle...missed them.

 

[R.Reddington]

At least lose with some pride you [Poor language removed] morons .

 

[helpimonfire]

Oh Dear! Oh Dear! Oh Dear! utter trash.

We is plop.

 

[lungo]

Just wow. How much sharper and fitter are they? Unbelievable.

They have a midfield we dont. We have Clevertley (LOL) Barkley (LOL) and grand-father Barry. How many balls did we win back in midfield? Zero. Very diificult to play Chelsea without competing for a single ball. After 10 minutes we played in our 16m . Barry is unable to push up because he needs a year to come back 20 m.

These last few years I have watched Everton teams roll over and die.
Its not right mate is it.

Even when we were awful under Walker and Walter, the players still had heart.

Chelsea pensionairs our team are pensionairs!

 

[ianefc]

Well that kinda sucked.

At least you can suck up to Dave for two weeks.

 

[Paul w]

Nah mate, Not in the keepers eyeline, and Stek was getting nowhere near that even if Luiz wasn't standing there

That keeper is getting nowhere near anything utter joke keeper had one good game since then [Poor language removed].But he's not alone.

 

[Toffee-nerd]

They actually genuinely should be 5-0 up at half time and we started with a defensive team. truly awful

 

[Tin-Tin]

Not sure what people were expecting, Chelsea are bang in form and we've been dog turd for a while now, it's just one of them isn't it?

I expect them to put in the same amount if work......minimum.
