Match Thread Chelsea vs Everton - Saturday 26th April 12:30

[davek]

Awful first half, much better second. Alcaraz made a huge difference in transition, and really positive signs from the centre backs.

Only negatives for me were ndiaye going off (hope he’s ok) and Patterson. Sad to say @davek seems to be right on him. Was all over the place.

He was terrible from the off.

I look for positioning because closing down space is probably as big an issue for a defender as actually doing stuff on the ball - cutting out passing lines etc.

Patterson is as a bad as I've ever seen in that respect.

He doesn't have the intelligence to play top flight football down here.
