Match Thread Everton v Chelsea, 23/12/17

Poor ball retention is caused by a lack of players making themselves available to receive the ball and/or poor choice of pass.
We seem to excel at both. That’s when hoofball looks like a more appealing tactic.
First touch and composure of our players is embarrassingly poor at times. None of that is Sams fault.

The passing has been woeful

Don’t envy DCL’s task today but he certainly is working hard if nothing else.

We are in this but final balls into dcl when we win possession HAVE to be better

So far,, we are getting a lesson in how to play football. AS soon as I saw Jags and Keane at back I thought crumbs that is it. Okay only 30 minutes but showed Martina is U/S, all that Davies has is energy, where is the skill, always tries to beat the man instead of passing and loses the ball.

Keano Keano Keano Keano.......Keano, Keano..............

Feel sorry for Dom, he's basically got a whole half of the field plus defenders he's expected to battle on his own.

It's only what Lukaku had for 3 years and he was called crap in the big games...

Has there ever been a Premier League match with more defensive players on the pitch than this one?

 

[ProZ]

Stay in this until half time and regroup

In fairness to Davies, there's not a lot of options going forward for him to work with.

Calvert Lewin is getting bullied
