Match Thread Everton v Chelsea, 23/12/17

[gonetomorrow]

We're a tough place to play. Nothing wrong with that.

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

Or is that my 4 pints talking?

I thought any quality in attack went with him. He couldn't hold the ball

 

[overkill]

Decent result good performance

 

[navidson]

Michael Keane man of the match is this a joke

He volleyed Hazard

He's man of the year just for that

 

[cronullasharks]

Under koeman we'd have lost 8 nil. Well in big sams brickwall blues.

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

0-0. I would have taken that at the start of the game. On paper Chelsea should have walked it.

 

[matty1878]

Yeah. Siggurdson didn't control the game at all against last seasons champions

It’s not football and you know it

 

[Bob Latchford]

Clean sheet.
We can defend again.
Classic approach to get the team defending first then build on that.
We gotta start somewhere lads.

Cuco brilliant again.
Sandro doesn't look the best!

 

[Efcjake]

For reference last season we got beat 5-0 and 3-0 I believe.

 

[trueblue10]

24 days in charge for Sam.

Played 5 Prem games lost 0.

Manager of the month stats that.

 

[MACCA75]

unlucky blues, but a good solid display, much much better than the dross from koeman, lot of plaudits for allardyce there.

Unlucky?

 

[toffeejack]

Chelsea's 'World Class' wing backs are from Bolton and Wigan

that's why i said centre backs.

 

[desblue]

One step at a time well done blues on a good defensive effort jus t hope Sam can show he ain't just a defensive manager

 

[Bullet]

We rode our luck but that was a good point against the in form champions while Sam gave several players a chance to stake a claim. The big blow was losing our best performer under Sam. Hopefully Gana's not out for long.

Martina was my man of the match
