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

[bicycleheader]

We are a work in progress, not the finished article.

shouldn’t be so hard to understand

 

[Bullens Rd]

Very satisfactory half, please keep it up. The players putting in a shift, I can hardly believe it. Let's get some more chances and finish these chumps.

 

[Prevenger17]

it begs the question, how can we play so well and nullify Chelsea and yet make Leeds look like prime Barcelona, odd.

Leeds are a good side, like

 

[Zeitgeist]

Tbh enjoyed that they played with desire there for that 45

Actually trying

 

[USABlue]

Think we'd all take a 1-0 lead at half

 

[Nyhus]

Good half against a good side.

 

[Blues Harp]

We've been good so far. Energy levels a big improvement on last week

Long as we don't run out of gas after 70 mins

 

[sladen90]

Chelsea's build-up is tremendous at times. I don't know how we're still in front.

Because we've been the better team?

 

[GotTheBlues]

A lot of desperate defending. Richarlison has to defend. He is totally useless.

Don’t disagree but you can’t knock their effort - no hands on waists pointing...... so far

 

[ToffeeDevil]

impressed w pickford, even with his literal slip

 

[ftk43]

Bernard on for Richarlison at halftime please

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Brilliant first half.

Chelsea haven't lost in 17 games - hopefully we can frustrate and nick a 2nd on the break.

 

[Foxache]

Good effort from the boys and great support from the crowd. It’s given them a lift and we’re seeing some good play from Iwobi, Holgate, Godfrey and Allan. Great work by DCL to get the pen. Holding my breath every time Pickford is anywhere near it though

this is how we do it

No complaints from me about anyone on the Everton side. Couple of hairy moments but against Chelsea that is to be expected.
Referee is atrocious.
