Chelsea vs Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

HALF TIME...............

Not often you see Ron Sexsmith ever referenced!

Anyway, think we were all fearing the worst after that first James chance but fair play to them. Just see it being a goal or two for Chelsea in the last ten minutes though.

 

[MACCA75]

Think we averaged one successful pass per minute there. Positively popping it around.

 

[TheBigIguana]

We'll still get battered if we don't tighten it up. Unless they just miss everything.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Rs winning 2-1 by the way, as if they actually weren't going to beat the toon..

 

[ForeverBlue92]

You dont get points for possession.

Lets dig in for the 0-0.

 

[Bungle]

It's a measure of how far we've fallen when I'm not disappointed to see Liverpool take the lead as it does us a favour.

 

[Ufotone]

Very good effort lads, well done

 

[4737carlin]

If we snuck this 0-1 and did NOT release a DVD tomorrow, I’d never watch us again.

Even a 0 0 it would make a great stocking filler

 

[Mosh Pit]

Anyone who has a a pop at simms, knows nothing about the game and is getting ignored, dills.

Yeah its understandable we have no possession so he can't influence the game.

I do feel as though he's been a little weak when it comes to pressing however.

There's been occasions where we've had several players pressing but Simms isn't doing it from the front.

 

[Sharpattack]

Gomes really is a poor player. Totally anonymous. However, Iwobi is on a whole different level.

 

[formerly manx toffee]

did well to get to HT

 

[Tommy Chong]

0-0 HT... We're actually brought it today!

Sneak a goal, and who knows?

 

[Steve EFC]

Apologies if it’s already been said but this ‘second string’ are exceeding my expectations here.
Speaking of which how have we found ourselves in the situation where we are fielding only 3 of our ‘so called best starting lineup’?! - makes you wonder how many are really injured, or just cowards!!!

 

[Joey66]

A bit more pace at the back - rode our luck - but not much worse than v Palace ....

 

[gazzaa2]

A brilliantly, professionally managed 45 minutes of football

To a degree but Chelsea have had 13 shots and 82% possession in 45 minutes. They put one of them away and it's a different game.

Chelsea's poor finishing has gave us confidence to grow in the game and have something to defend.
