Match Thread Everton v Chelsea - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll.

[Kantareller]

At least they give there all. After all the pathetic performances ... Probably to late but at least there is a little bit of pride somewhere!

Yep, overall it's much better, but we have to turn this into a result

Coleman's yellow is the worst type. Idiot. Now he can't make a last ditch foul when necessary. Whilst you can applaud effort it's the least we expect. Too many non-performing players here. Delph and Doucoure are anonymous. I cannot understand all the love out there for Iwobi. He is utterly clueless and useless. Richarlison always makes the wrong decision. The best we can hope for here is a 0-0, as there is no goals in this team. Just hope to God Lukaku doesn't come on and send us down.

Trying to find one thing in that comment that is close to reality. Still, chacun a son goute.

Put Iwobi back as AM and Gordon as LW. Gray at RW. If Gray can't contribute then I'd brimg Dele on and put Richy on the wing.

Crap that. Just a very poor team.

That was a fantastic half of football. We aren't Barcelona (of old). It was passion, commitment and organisation at its finest.

 

[jazzy]

Absolutely nothing up front for us.
If DCL can't put in a shift I'd get Rondon on for Gray and even I can't believe that I'm saying that.
How crap must El Ghazi I that he can't get a sniff of a game even though we are so toothless.

 

[Efcjake]

How would you play it, 0-0 isn’t really that good for us, Alli,DCL ?

Allan for delph first. Dcl for Gray soon after and then alli on for doucoure or Gordon whichever is blowing out their arse hardest.

 

[Icey88]

Stick or twist?

 

[The Trinity.]

Ok.....not too bad so far. Now comes the dreaded half time team talk. Lets Hope that Lampard gets this one right. Let's hope that our bunch don't lose their concentration. Let us hope we manage a second half clean sheet. Let's hope that we can score a goal.......or two. Let's hope that we win this match. Aaarrrggghh........come on Everton.. Come on.
That's a lot of hoping there folks. That's my hoping quota used up for today. So let's rock and roll. Win this match...
We have all been here before at half time. Still in the match. So just let's bring this one home. Thank you.
Up The Toffees. Lampards " still in the game" Toffees.

If we played with this intensity against the teams outside the top 6 we’d be absolutely fine btw. That’s what hurts the most.

If we’d have played like this Burnley away or after going 2-1 up against Watford or playing Norwich etc etc
We’re capable of so much better than our league position it’s infuriating

 

[Simon Buttle]

Not a bad 45, my big worry is Chelsea are making us chase everything without having to put in anything like the effort we have. If we tire, I feel their better players will start to find the gaps.

Big issue with us in general that though, its why the likes of Gordon can't last 90 mins a lot of the time, we need to learn to manage our runs much better and make the ball do the work when we have it.

 

[Parker]

Also it's hilarious seeing that "Everton have 5 of the 9 bookings for simulation this season" because, as proven by Havertz in the first half, its because no one ever gets punished for it.

 

[Street end man]

Just critical we don't go down to 10 here.

 

[Tel001]

Put Iwobi back as AM and Gordon as LW. Gray at RW. If Gray can't contribute then I'd brimg Dele on and put Richy on the wing.

I would do this if it didn’t mean Coleman going to rb, meaning Keane has to come on

 

[stopstandthere]

DCL to save the day please.

 

[Quadvod]

They’re trying but we don’t really have the quality on the ball. Hoping for a yerry header from a set piece
