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

[wainy]

How come every time the RS go to the top grounds they try to attack and win the game yet we always camp in our own half to try and avoid defeat and nearly always fail dismally? Is it "small club" mentality?

Because a losing mentality is rooted in this club and has been for 20 years now. It's pathetic.

this might sound blasphemous but i feel teams typically perceived as mediocre, like southampton have a superior squad. Really botched the transfer window

 

[deipnosophist]

Koeman getting well and truly found out.

In fairness, he's inherited a feeble team

Just watched a nice little display of fireworks through my window

I polished off some hot chicken wings. Had a bit of kick to them unlike Everton.

 

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

Please save us from relegation like you have done the last two seasons Rom x

This performance brought to you by the god awful transfer window in the summer.

A rubbish cheapo keeper and all bar Bolaise are the cowardly bunch we saw all last 2 years.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Yes and players and a better manager.

Chelsea have better players than Liverpool but Liverpool worked their backsides off and got a result their workrate deserved.

Which is why we should be working harder than Chelsea, or at least matching them for workrate. Not strolling around

 

[Number_25]

Five at the back.

Didn't go there to win. Backfired tremendously.

Koeman getting well and truly found out.

How exactly? 10 games.

It's beyond crap. It's very disheartening. We never lay down like this anywhere outside of Anfield, even in our worst days over the last 18 months.

Just sad how much work we need. There will be worse days before it gets better.

Mate about 5 months ago we got battered by a god awful Sunderland side. Everyone knows the size of the task Koeman has on his hands, you've been fuming about the summer window, which suggests you believe our players aren't good enough, so why are you fuming now they're doing what you always believed.

Koeman getting well and truly found out.

Nah, 3 CDM's out so we're stuck with the utter embarrassment that is Tom Cleverley, Barry looks lost without Gana, pretty sure Koeman tried to purchase a midfielder in the summer to avoid this very dire situation. Very poor choice of tactics by him though, sure he'll learn from it, that's he big difference between him and hat clown we had in charge last year.

 

[tlefc]

Just stuck a fiver on 6-0

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

You mean they have a better workrate??

And it doesn't matter who the RS are playing, they go out to win the game instead of parking the bus.

 

[bluejohn66]

Turned off at 2-0. I would sooner jettison display quality fireworks out of my backside than continue to watch this.

According to the H&S notice on the back of my firework box, putting fireworks in close proximity of your anus is asking for trouble .

 

[Abraders]

They are playing more than well, that is some of the best football I have seen for some time.

Not really sure why, they are playing no more than first gear. We aren't moving.
