Preview: Chelsea v Everton

[maccavennie]

Well that wasn't unexpected. Abysmal 1st half, 5% better in the 2nd half.

MOTM between Holgate and DCL

 

[desblue]

Keomans tactics very dissapointing when he had the first half as evidence we were getting battered. Thought going 4 4 2 for second half would have at least let us have a go. Hopefully big lesson learnt today

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Too many of our lot have been in this situation before,almost an acceptance that a 2-0 defeat is almost a decent result,you can blame the European game all you want,but that was pretty spineless.

 

[CerberusFX]

Glad that's over for another year at least, don't enjoy these aways when he goes ultra defensive.

 

[Eggs]

...settled for 2-0 at half-time if I'm honest.

Well done travelling fans, you deserve better.

 

[Rook]

silver lining: we don't win here when we play well so it in a way was tactically astute to pick this day to stink.

 

[collymcd]

Wow... I see some stupid things in match threads but this is something special.

What's perhaps even more surprising is the inability of some people to recognise hyperbole.

Carry on though my literary-Friend.

 

[sageyefc]

Calvert-Lewin. Easily.

Mo laughs at this

 

[TyphooToffee]

Nope, don't want us out of the Europa league (I mentioned a fair few times about it being a way into the champs league) but we all knew the consequences of playing in it, that we'd be playing a lot of games, just think to whinge and look to use it as an excuse is a tad silly.

Also, I know playing 3 games in 6 days is a toil, but I'm not going to use it as an excuse (and every other time we have to play 3 games in 6 days) because as I said, I knew the consequences of wanting us to play in Europe.

I wasn't whinging, I was being realistic.

 

[GwladysBlue]

that's 10-0 to them over 3 games with a back 3...pointless caution

11-0

 

[Tin-Tin]

That was akin to one of them 3rd division Spanish teams in awe of being on the same pitch as Barca.

 

[everton2004]

We might struggle for goals this season unless we get a CF in.

 

[ilikecheese]

Koeman 0-10 against Chelsea.

 

[edge]

What a crap performance that was, we offered nothing

 

[KaiserEFC]

The moaning in this thread after our first loss of the entire season so far and our 3rd away game in a row.

It's a long season, save your moans for when we cough up a game against a bottom team.

I think it was the manner of it mate, just rolled over and made it easy for them

 

[Mozza1987]

Disgusting performance that! Least put up a bit of a fight. Why does Koeman persist with 3 at the back. It doesn't work. Then not to change it when 2-0 down to try and get back in the game is shocking. So negative.
