Match Thread Everton v Chelsea - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[KaiserEFC]

They're all absolutely goosed aren't they?!

Near Martinez levels of unfitness this. Shows how little we pressed under Silva

 

[riddick]

Genuinely can't remember Gylfi doing anything of note in that half besides standing over a down Chelsea player 20 yards away from the ball when we were in their box.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Fortunate to be ahead.
DCL carries no goal threat and cannot hold the ball up enough against their physical defenders.

I don't know about that. They've barely had a shot, we had a big chance and took it. Possession means little if you do nothing. We know that.

 

[Dunc's elbow]

1-0 HT, happy days so far.

 

[Abraders]

I completely agree, but with more numbers at least we can congest the middle and try get more coverage. I just think its a matter of time at the mo.

Yeah definitely. Watching this has been difficult

 

[andy4efc]

Cant fault the effort though, which is a first this season.

 

[chippy1722]

I can now see why he had three strikers on the bench, DCL and Richarlison look knackered already. I can also see why he said he had to leave Davies out for fresh legs, he’s gonna need him later.

 

[Ring master]

1 ahead should have been 2 with that Lewin chance, keane messed up badly that nearly made it level,while later in the game chelsea have came way into it

 

[daza_1973]

The fitness levels of these so called professional athletes is quite scary.

 

[Archie Knox]

Michael Keane tried his best to gift them a goal.
Schneiderlin having his best games in a long time.
Calvert Lewin and Walcott look like League Two players.
Iwobi and Richarlison playing brilliant.
Sigurdsson again anonymous.
Nothing else.

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Smash and grab, I don't care about the performance we really need points.
I'd be heavily considering Bernard here.

I don’t care how pretty it is

 

[heatmeiser]

Not a single positive comment from people in this 45 minutes.

Yet we're beating Chelsea at half time lads. It's not that bad.

We pressed a lot under Silva. Dislike the guy but leave the revisionist history out.

 

[MercuryBlue88]

Good performance, bit worried about or conditioning training. Players look knackered and theres still half to go. Hopefully get a rest a bit of composure and we go again, would bring Davies on early in the second half.

He wasn't actually that bad. Strung a few passes together.
