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

[Neiler]

Hamstring injury

Yeah he’s not there I saw him in a Gillette add on soccer Saturday earlier.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Well we’ve been crap going forward, but at least we can defend a bit. 0-0 would be a fantastic result.

 

[Cels]

Good half that. Just hope we're more convincing in the second.

 

[PhilM]

You know this won’t happen until 82 mins

If at all. Dyche doesn't really do substitutions does he unless it's forced or late on, which is something we're going to need to get familiar with.

 

[bilyaletdinov_]

as expected, same as Arsenal. slightly less going forward and slightly sterner at the back

 

[GoldenToffee]

The problem of course is when they ultimately score, it's game over and try not to turn it until a cricket score.

 

[Brownie]

Ref stopping the game because the ball hit a player's foot. Good stuff.

 

[irishgoose]

Well played boys

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Well, I knew it would be ugly, but it's what I wanted as a realistic possibility- a clean sheet at least. More of the same second half and I won't be unhappy.

 

[Rich1878]

And?

Not really "utterly dominated" then

 

[Tylard]

Sure it wasn't something rhyming with Dwight?

No that was every match week before last

 

[Sporting Billy]

Has Onana ever passed it forward? Never seen such a negative midfielder, considering the size of him too. Total nothing player

 

[GETEM]

Very solid defending there, do think we need more threat going the other way though.

 

[Paul Rideout]

We're doing ok.

 

[Devanski]

Tedious!
Showed a wee bit more later in the half but we need to score cos we’re not keeping a clean sheet here.
