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

[Billy Dean]

Offered little going forward but we’ve also restricted them well. They’ve not had a clear cut chance there.

An observation

There’s been a couple of times when we have been able to drive forward at the Chelsea defence and there have been runners on the wing simply ignored. Players being too greedy trying to go for glory instead of utilising the overload on the wings to try and get a dangerous crossing opportunity

 

[4737carlin]

Yeah, good half that for us really, job done in the first 45 minutes

 

[mahermi1]

Any chance some fans wait until we have lost and then start 'kin moaning..thanks in advance.

 

[Nightman]

Well, it could be an acceptable performance and unacceptable score, so things could easily be worse.

Username checks out.

Defensively looked really good and limited them to no real clear cut chances. Problem is it’s a huge ask to play like this for a full 90 minutes. We’ve played games like this countless times in the last few years. If they score it’s hard to see where we’re going to get a goal from.

Unacceptable performance
Acceptable result (so far)

I'll take it.

Just dont have a striker did not expect gray to have much against the back 3 today is just backs against the wall

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Hard to see us scoring, but the defending has been pretty solid.

 

[allen]

Not looking forward to another 45 of the same, even though that’s exactly what we need.

Does anyone know how to make three quarters of an hour go quicker?

 

[banno]

Defence doing a good job. We look a little suspect on the wings but the central defending has been good. Few chances for them and none really clear cut. Looks like we will just have to grit our teeth and hold on

 

[Paul Rideout]

Going to need to spawn something of a set piece as per. I'd take a point though

I had to explain to my American GF what being a 'spawny get' meant today.

I'd take us being a spawny get of a team today TBH.

 

[ford_uk]

Think anyone that doesn't think we've improved under the Ginger Mourinho needs to give their head a wobble....

 

[Blue Neon]

Had a beer money bet. Both Teams Not To Score. £22 @ 8/11. for £16. Cheers !

 

[Dykovski200]

Officials in prem so biased, we get two yellows (which were yellows by the way) and Badiashile goes through the back of gray and nothing at all. It’s things like that that affect games. Pisses me off the way the so called bigger clubs get away with poor decisions.

 

[mikel_88]

Yeah and that’s the worry. Chelsea will
Continue to control the ball, and keep the pressure up. Yes you came come away with goals draw but most times you don’t and eventually concede. We will need some luck to keep it as it is.

Agree games like this luck is a massive part
