Match Thread Everton v Chelsea, 23/12/17

[Dunc's elbow]

Same 11 again next half, then maybe give Bolasie 30 minutes for Davies and put Siggy in behind DCL.

 

[BlueToff]

check ur glasses mate.

DCL is working hard and providing an outlet against THREE defenders with no support.

Davies hasn't been great on the ball but there's no reason to take him off

 

[Toffee-nerd]

Might sound sick but I prefer us playing like this than under the Martinez methodology. I know we give away a lot of possession but we really don't look like conceding. Add a good left back who can defend which will free up siggy and a striker and we won't be far off. we are the Antichrist of football but it sure is effective.

why is there no reason to take him off?

 

[Niapper]

DCL as usual shoots ever so weakly - if that was not blocked

 

[Fansince1988]

Ugly performance, and imo DCL just looks a tidy Sraq I know DCL is young and isolated at times but I really don't rate him that much. An introduction of Sandro or Niasse could well help us nick this, they are great on the ball but In the main they haven't threatened our goal that much.

I didn't say either of them had?

 

[ToffeeTim]

We are defending well but I do fear that the goal is inevitable

 

[streeky]

Can't believe they are playing Kante and leaving Fabregas on the bench, Kante is not needed against us, playing into our hands ATM

 

[the_toffees_bosnia]

Davies and Martina worst players on the pitch,

He's a poor striker at this level, as I've said msny times he's a tidy player but that it average at best.

Feel the same with bolasie for Davies but sigurdsson offer so much defensively. Martina is terrible but he's rarely allowed to be isolated because of sigirdsson.

 

[sageyefc]

nope

Davies is [Poor language removed]

 

[Bullet]

Good defensive display so far. Gana's been really good.
Oumar for DCL in the second half please.
