Match Thread Everton v Chelsea, 23/12/17

Not a shot on target all game?

 

[ProZ]

My breathing is going dodgy here every time the ball is plonked in.

 

[Rook]

Pickford so good today, pretty much every shot parried or deflected to the proper place.

 

[smileychap]

Encouraging signs from Sandro today in terms of trying to hold up ball / effort/ passing.

Or is that my 4 pints talking?

 

[brieverton]

Awful football but can’t knock the sheer physical and psychological effort it takes to get something in a game like this.
Absolutely miraculous defensive organisation from Sam.

 

[blue to the bone]

25 shots to 5

0 goals to 0 goals

 

[Ring master]

0-0 happy with that considering how bad we were,brilliant defending

Absolutely fantastic result. Well done Everton and Allardyce - sometimes defensive organisation is key and that's part of the game too; we were top class in that department again today.

lol

Well done EV. The glory will have to wait.

 

[Niapper]

6 years since no shots at target at home

 

[navidson]

Meh - We'll take it

Closer to a loss than a win but hey-ho

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Positives: unbeaten under Sam. We can defend again. Good use of snide.

Negatives: uuuuurgh.

 

[Ibby]

A game Everton would have lost under Koeman. Great point.
