Match Thread Chelsea vs Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll.

[Kurt.]

Don’t think that was easy for Chelsea for one moment... they worked bloody hard for that tonight, their pressing us right in the edge of our box was impressive and takes a lot of hard work and concentration... Tuchel has done a lot of good work with that team already... sometimes you gotta accept we came up against a hard working intelligent team who do have the extra edge in quality

Haven't watched the match

Was working

Should I watch?

i generally don’t watch losses unless there’s something about tactics I find interesting. Saved me a lot of time over 25 years supporting.

Was pretty much the same as the last 3 games only this time we came up against a far better side all over the pitch. No shame in the defeat they were just better.

A little disappointed last night, thought we might have taken something, but every cloud and all that.
It's a reminder just how important hard work is, I thought Chelsea wanted it just that bit more.
Will also send a reminder to the board that we are still short of a sprinkling of quality.
Carlo has been here 5 minutes in the grand scheme of things, another window or two and we will be superb.

We need to replace Gomes this summer he is not quicker enough for this league.
He cant press and struggles when we play against a pressing team.
He's the man who should be running the midfield dictating the tempo of the play and direction of attacks.

 

[when i score we riot]

Ah yes, David Moyes above us in the table again, what sweet agony

 

[BigBlueConk]

They were just better than us on the day.
We carried very little threat going forward.
Lot of work still to do Carlo.

COYB

Our own fault for letting them get that sweaty goal against us after Christmas. He’s doing a good job there though to be fair to him.

 

[kleew]

Actually we are one of the worst team under press and playing fwd from the back, even against lower teams. We need to reinforce. Period

This
I don't like going into any game with a defeat as an option but TBH , Chelsea are a quality team with a number of dangerous attacking options on this occasion have to admit we were 2nd best, however we still put up a good fight
IMO Carlo is doing an excellent job keeping us in with a shout of a European spot , I hope we can now reach the FACSF as it would do wonders for the confidence in the squad

 

[Dunc's elbow]

We had one on target but cant seem to remember who lol

Gomes at some point IIRC. It wasn’t memorable!

Now i remember, right on HT.

I watched 10 mins of highlights. Still not that impressed with the Chelsea team, if I'm being honest. They spent way more money at being 10% better than Everton.

Carlo is plotting the rematch already for next season!

Don't want to dwell on it too much - but I don't think Pickford should have come out on the second goal. I'd take my chances Havertz misses the shot on the angle (or pass). Pickford has been doing much better recently, so let's keep the momentum rather than nitpick this one to death.

Still need 8 wins to make CL imo.

Helps a bit when Leeds had that not give at 0-0

Hahahaha this season is genuinely the worst season for officiating since the invention of football. Magnified by the fact we now have a system were we have video replays and all the time in the world to make a decision.

 

[Death]

still a lot of football to play mate, 4th isn’t gone yet

New manager bounce on Chelsea. The owners pulled a blinder gettong the new man in with this run of games. Thonk they play 5 of the big six the last 6 games so if we keep behind them we can pounce.
