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

[mikel_88]

this game will be the game where most of grand old team will agree with me to sack ancelotti

Who do you want to replace him

 

[Blue_in_london]

We can't afford to carry James for 90 minutes

I'm hoping if he moves inside we'll have more from him, without the weakness in tracking back

 

[Blues Harp]

Be interesting to see if anyone from GOT is successful in the ballot.

 

[blue to the bone]

Came in to this fixture last season in even worse form then now .

Granted they are better then last season but with a proper set up and players up for it it'a not a foregone conclusion.
The 2000 fans may help too

It’s nearly Christmas ffs......

A good time for the squad to get a dose of Covid 19.....next two games can be called off as a precaution

We don’t have a full house fully behind Duncan Ferguson. That game was incredible. It felt like Everton against the world.

True this, but we will have fans in, that could be the extra lift the team needs as long as we play the right line up/formation

as much as people hated phil neville, he was made captain by moyes for a reason and he was a leader on and off the pitch, if we played poor you know he would have ripped into the players and told them to fix up.

do we have anyone like that in the current team? people might say seamus but he's too nice imo, he talks the talk but do people really listen to him

is big dunc saying anything or it he just trying to please mr ancelotti and keeping quiet in the background

the football is clearly not good enough and the performances are lacking

every week we hear the same rhetoric spurned out by different players 'we must do better' yet every week its the same old sluggish and lethargic performances with misplaced passed and 50 yard balls to nowhere

I hope so. Who knows, maybe this could be the game to kickstart our season.

 

[Furey1878]

Hoping the occassion of fans being back in Gwladys will raise the players' level for this.

2-0 Everton.

you have come up with a neologism there mate... And not only is it a newly coined expression, you have created a portmanteau word by cleverly combining spiel and churned.
...I very much like the cut of your lexicographer's jib!!

 

[deipnosophist]

A heavy loss here (3-0). I believe one more loss next week, making the rest of the season irrelevant, and then our lionhearts will play decent again as they have nothing to play for and hence zilch pressure.

NSNO

Carlo needs to draw on all of his experience here, Chelsea are playing well.
We play well in patches but it needs to be more consistent, teams are exploiting the space that James leaves in behind, we won’t get away with it against this lot, sort it Carlo.

We’re in for a hiding here fellas...
