Match Thread Everton v Chelsea, 23/12/17

[Florin]

If Leicester lose 0-8 we'll go up the table

Unlucky?

yep, deserved to win, had the two best chances with DCL and keane. Why does everyone think that the team with the most posession and shots deserve to win a football match. Defending is part of football, hate this negative british media turning their nose up at when a team defends well, it's why england don't win anything and the italians are the masters of over achieving.

Sandro never supported DCL we were left wide open with that half time needless substitution- a great performance Cu Cu was outstanding I never thought I would say that!

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!

I thought sandro did ok with the little chance he had with the ball

 

[BiggyRat]

Local analysis bemoaning us 'parking the bus' and having no intent to attack. Clearly theu don't realise we have virtually no attackers!

It’s not football and you know it

Koeman spent £200mill thinking what he bought could play football.

It cant and he was sacked for it.

 

[Ring master]

lets not forget how good a point this was as well,2nd best defence away,with 8 wins from last 10,and considering we were not good,very happy,shows our defence are doing well

 

[Steve Wigan]

Absolutely superb Sam Allardyce Masterclass. DCL and Keane could have won it for us as well. No complaints surely from any Evertonian who thinks he understands tactical football.

 

[blue to the bone]

It’s just not football atall this.

Don't watch it mate. It's driving you mad.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Another excellent result.#BIGSAM. Boring as but results that we needed.

Sorry but thinking we deserved to win that is pure insanity. A hard earned draw.

I think I'd vote him MOTM

 

[gianthogweed]

Wasn't pretty to watch but this Everton team is showing excellent commitment
well done lads

 

[VentureBrosEFC]

Horrible viewing but good point

Looking back 6 games , this is a step forward. Chelsea hadn't that many chances. Boring game, but we are still finding our feet after a very disappointing start of the season. Nice to see Beni Baningime coming on the pitch. Started brightly, bud faded away. Nevertheless, this is a new lad from the Academy coming through.
