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

[ADT]

Really a shame that our actual midfield is out

 

[Zatara]

I think NO changes at half time...

Let them have a rest...give it 10mins and throw in Davies, Kean and Bernard.

Ok fella x

I see other people saying the same thing

 

[Nymzee]

Love those Just Eat/BT adverts

 

[Pettifogger]

FWIW NBC commentary here in the states was fairly complimentary. Discussed resemblance to “old school Everton” while acknowledging challenge of Chelsea gaining foothold in the match.

How many internet points do you win for that mate?

 

[Zatara]

Was too busy celebrating myself. What was it like

Jogging down the touchline punching the air 4 times....like a fan!

 

[Nymzee]

That's the problem. Those who criticising DCL's game are usual those who are blinded to what he actually offers to the team due to their lack of understanding for the game.

Stats stats stats

Gylfi has done nothing once again.

Its children against men once again. It looks like we are bouncing against walls from time to time. Sigurdsson, Wallcott Iwobi UNABLE to win a 50-50 ball.

So was BT Sport here. Far more positive than most in here.

Bernard for Sigurdsson
Why not?
I believe Bernard can create chances and he’s got reat Ball control

They also said it's unsustainable and football has moved on . Clearly they haven't watched Liverpool playing kick and rush for a couple years

 

[Brennan]

Chelsea had three or four clear chances to score. We’re 1-0 up largely due to luck, I can’t see that lasting another 45 without conceding.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Get Davies on in the middle of the park. Need another body in there.

After 3 assists from Sidibe crosses now, makes you wonder how much better we'd have done over the last few years if we'd had a RB that could cross the ball.

I'm may be in the minority here but I'd much prefer my right back to be able to defend competently.
