Match Thread Everton v Chelsea, 23/12/17

[BlueToff]

Overall, a good performance so far.

We've restricted them to little. The only time Pickford has been tested was when Jags covered - and if you watch, that chance came about because of two wicked deflections.

We've shown when we've pressed and won the ball back that we can test them. We've just not had the quality on the ball so far - something that Rooney has provided in recent weeks.

Anyone asking for changes or saying we've been crap knows nothing at all about this sport.

 

[Milkman]

Sorry, I meant they're all sh*te and we should be beating these 5-0 BOOOOO

 

[ilikecheese]

Bolasie for Snides. Push us up the pitch.

Gana class again.

Nil nil with our current squad against the champions is much better than Koeman’s offering plus pick been tested once.

So many negative Nancy’s in here

Jags bailed him out twice.

 

[Old Blue 2]

So far: survived.

Can Chelski keep that up for 90 minutes..?

 

[Toffe3m4n]

If it's still 0-0 at 70 mins I can see one of Lookman or Bolasie coming on to try and stretch the game a bit.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

Mental

what is? takign davies off, or dcl ?

 

[Verbal Kint]

Chelsea are good no doubt. Back to the wall stuff for 20 mins there but at least we look to have a shape. Not too sure if this game suits Tom Davies seems to be passing him by and needs to do a lot of defensive work

 

[BlueToff]

The gap between the front and midfield is too far, need players to get up in support

It is. Could do with Davies pushing up a bit more.

The quality just has to be a bit better when we have it.

 

[Florin]

Do Davies and DCL understand the importance of beating Chelsea to the detriment of basking in personal glory

Edit: anyone has a clip of Jags saving those two shots ?

 

[Efcjake]

DCL did so well and then so poorly. If it ever clicks for him he's going to be a player. He can frustrate me but I feel for him playing that lone striker role today.

 

[sageyefc]

Put siggy in the middle, drop Davies and get either Niasse or bolasie on

 

[kenada_blue]

Really, really poor from DCL having just won the ball off Christiensen brilliantly.

Will get better the more he plays.

 

[BlueToff]

what is? takign davies off, or dcl ?

The suggestion that either of them need to go off

 

[BlueToff]

Put siggy in the middle, drop Davies and get either Niasse or bolasie on

nope

But we didn't play williams and holgate. We are getting battered mate. Oh wait.....
