Match Thread Everton v Chelsea, 23/12/17

[Niapper]

On target though?

I think it's

Everton - 0
Chelsea -4

 

[riddick]

Think Sandro is doing pretty decently

 

[toffeejack]

this is usually the type of game where we get undone by a dodgy deflection or rebound late on

 

[joebocop]

Amazing the effect big Sam has had on this defence. It's unrecognisable.

 

[ProZ]

MOM today. Never thought I'd say that again

I think Schneiderlin has been better.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

In all fairness we are defending really well up to now.

Never say that with 20 minutes to go but yeah

 

[gonetomorrow]

It's dire. But...................

You hire a man to do a job.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Sandro is a passenger again here, offers nothing..

What is he supposed to do. Been snapping tackles, chasing back.

To a man, every player has worked exceptionally hard.

It’s nil nil for a reason.

 

[Gladystweet]

I think Schneiderlin has been better.

Sorry mate. Got all excited. I meant Snides.

 

[sheedys left foot]

We will break soon. Need a bit of possession

Not allowed keep possession in our own half by order of BFS

 

[brieverton]

Sam has certainly done a fantastic job already with this lot even if the stats tell another story.
We are a distinctly average mid-table outfit with very little quality.
Walsh and Koeman have seen to that.
We can improve but aside from the younger players there isn’t a huge margin for improvement either.
Need to remain disciplined here.

 

[Billy Dean]

Koeman and Cuco have the same agent.
Just saying like.

Seriously? I did wonder about that but CBA googling. Well that explains it

 

[navidson]

this is usually the type of game where we get undone by a dodgy deflection or rebound late on

Or John Terry stood 8 yards offside

 

[blue to the bone]

Amazing the effect big Sam has had on this defence. It's unrecognisable.

Was just thinking the same. Conceded at least two every game under rhino

 

[Bluecranks]

This is the commentary: "Hazard, Willian, Fabregas, Hazard, Alonso, Willian, Fabregas, Hazard ... ". Not exactly possession football from us; if this ends 0-0 you could say the tactics worked, but I really don't like it. Couldn't watch this every week.
