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

[Saint Domingo]

Havertz is seriously quick

 

[LocalNative]

What I'd do for a direct, quality winger like Hudson-Odoi.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Poor. We haven't really looked like scoring but two errors have cost us big time.

3rd game in 8 days, 2 wins out of 3 is still good and Stamford Bridge is a place we haven't won for a long time. Chelsea are in great form. They will finish top 4 this year I think with that squad they have.

We have to fight it out with Leicester and West Ham for that 4th spot.

It was more important to follow up the Derby with wins over Southampton and West Brom, a result tonight would have been a bonus, not to be. Got 4 days now to clear heads, get Coleman and James back and come out strong against Burnley on Saturday

 

[Jonte]

That’s it Blues: Fight!

 

[Big_nev]

Some people seem to be enjoying us losing. Absolutely bizarre.

Frustration and hope gets the better of people. Think it's all the false dawns we have suffered to be honest.

 

[R.Reddington]

We miss James.

In these big games we do. Do I think he would’ve made a difference tonight ? No. Unfortunately too many players having stinkers.

 

[billyblue80]

What's the actual point of Gomes? Can't pass, can't hold the ball, can't tackle, can't run

He plays like he has lead wellies on shows flashes but largely a passenger. Badly miss Douc

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Zouma is badly hurt there

If that's his knee then it's a big issue.

Career has been blighted with knee problems, surgery in 2012, missed more games with knee problems not least doing his cruciate in 2016

 

[TheBigIguana]

Holgate is open for a reason guys

 

[Methuselah]

Pickford is losing his touch. The player he fouled for the pen is still playing, isn't he?

 

[Verbal Kint]

We need to be at our best to beat Chelsea away, and we aren't. Our weaknesses are obvious including Carlo and Brands. Rome not built in a day

 

[Lob]

Don't think many blues expected us to win this tonight tbh. I know i didn't which is why i would have been happy with a draw. Not the end of the world anyway, Chelsea are simply better than us, quite a lot better actually. Get a chance to pick some points up in the next few games.

 

[Johnnytotal]

In terms of how we play we are a long way off what you'd consider a top 4 calibre side, a bit like we were back in 2004/2005. Getting results whilst playing drab football, I'll take it but I think 6th is the absolute limit of where you can finish playing like this.

Bore off to Anfield

 

[Obes]

Jarg. Not surprised. Concede first and we're toast, simple as. This had to stay 0-0 for as long as possible or to nick an early goal and sit on it.

 

[billyblue80]

I really don't think we are. The right would be even worse with him over there.

We are because he has energy and legs
