Chelsea v Everton. 22nd Feb at 12.45.

[lungissimo]

cant help but think we are going to regret not scoring while we are on top.


AGAIN.

Its Tottenham all over again. Hope we will see Del boy more then 5 minutes today Mirallas is awful today

 

[evertony]

very controlled first half....always in control without really threatening...definitely Barkley or Del for Pienaar would be my change 10 mins into 2nd half if it stays the same.
Nais' movement and first touch has been top notch considering he's trying to occupy such a decent back four, and Leon has played some neat touches.
With a decent striker this would be a very interesting team....I do think RM is slowly building something, despite the nay-sayer's expecting us to win every game.

 

[The Esk]

Chelsea fans very quiet in Stamford Bridge, very good football from us, some great passing just need to put a chance away.

Would like to see Del on straight up

Still think Naismith will score ...

 

[ianefc]

They look dangerous every time they come forward the best we can hope for is 0 0

 

[wellillwill]

I think people pointing at the lack of a goalscorer as the reason we haven't scored are slightly off the mark. The reason we're looking effective in the final without a cutting edge is because Naysmith is being deployed as a deep attacker - he's dropping in to link up the play rather than standing on the last man looking for headers and through balls. If you swapped him for an out and out striker we probably wouldn't look as composed in possession and we wouldn't be in their half nearly as much.

You can't have it all...

If we want to get something out of it, Delboy will need to be on around the 60minute mark.

Martinez needs to be astute here and to stop us losing the game.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Give us Barkley and Deulofeu for Mirallas and Osman ffs, get a bit of genuine quality in the final third

 

[glorydaze]

Swap Osman for Barkley please Roberto.

Why? He is playing well

 

[TheFinnFan]

we tend to dominate the ball posession but it is quite slow stuff we are producing atm.

but at the same time we are suffogating their game too. draw would be ok.

coyb laars

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Be absolutely gutted if McGeady comes on before Deulofeu

 

[evertoniano]

Naismith has played really well, really good 1st touch today and bringing players in, pretty impressed tbh.

 

[moosed]

Why? He is playing well

he is but we need a goal threat

 

[superkeeper]

We're going to rue those missed chances.

 

[Lien]

This is going to be an absolutely textbook Chelsea win.

We play well first half, miss our chances, they'll take theirs. We lose, say we played well and how we've got a lot to build on for next time. Rinse and repeat.

Prove me wrong, Everton.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Because his legs will fall off if he plays another fifteen minutes

Why? He is playing well
