Chelsea vs Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Dublin blue 75]

The actual definition of a bonus point tonight. Bank it and run.

Great point, however Godfrey is starting to become a liability. He just lets defenders run behind him and goes to sleep a lot.

You do realise he’d just got back from Chelsea’s goal area after docoure gave the ball away. That’s why the they got behind him he’d just sprinted the lengths of two football fields. None of our players would have been in the picture.

Love it.

Up the Toffees.

Great result tonight

A Good result considering Chelsea squad depth, means that they were able field a strong side despite those injuries/illness. Congrats on earning the point, it felts like a win, considering our injuries and form.

We could play with spirit against a "big six" side, but we can't against outside of big six. This is a recurring problem - these group of players can't perform when something is expected of them. I won't be surprise if we see an abject performance against Burnley, Brighton and Newcastle.

But for now, let us enjoy the point earned.

It doesn't matter how you get there, but that might be one of the best points we have ever achieved since 1878!
Under the circumstances a remarkable result that very few can honestly say they expected.

I was really pleased for the academy players, but it kind of heightens my resentment towards the so called first team squad players!

Delighted.


Up the toffees.

Has to be Pickford MOTM, otherwise that would have been a bloodbath.

I’m not talking about this game only, hope he proves me wrong because I like him.

 

[Zatara]

As predicted the Leicester game is off, we have time to recover from injuries.Good news.

The break will help. We need to get players back before 3 games is 7 days.

Confirmed off?

 

[Lee Smith]

Just back from the game. I’ve genuinely lost my voice and at one point I thought I’d given myself an aneurism shouting naughty things at the ref. Great support as always from the travelling Evertonians.

Not the best performance by any stretch of the imagination, but that makeshift team of misfits didn’t half put a shift in, and the away end showed their appreciation and were behind them til the end. A deserved point imo.

Up there with one of my funnest away days. The look on my young lads face when we scored will live with me forever, he was practically in tears when we were celebrating. That’s what football is all about.

Alan Whittle scores Everton’s opening goal against Chelsea in the 38th minute in this Charity Shield match played at Stamford Bridge, London on the 8th August 1970.

I went to that match. I remember Alan Ball getting angry and arguing with his teamates

 

[Jeff Jones]

Well done lads. Well done the traveling fans.

Yeah, couldn't have been many GOT posters there they way they sang 'England number one' to Pickford at the end.

 

[Rook]

good job today guys!
