Match Thread Everton 0-0 Chelsea, Sunday December 22nd, 2pm

Apart from near freezing to death, the coldest I have ever experienced at a match, I enjoyed it and thought with more composure in front of goal we could have snatched it. Chelsea dominated possession as you would expect but we had the better chances. A decent performance given the lack of talent in our squad.

I maintain that Goodison can get somehow 10% colder than anywhere else

We were very good today. That is the best Chelsea team for many a year and we went Toe to toe with them. Thought docoure, ndiaye and mangala stood out for me.

It was fkn freezing, I went down to the new stadium about 11 , parked the car by the pub and was only outside for about 53 seconds and got soaked through, even socks and trainers. Spent 45 mins drying my socks and trainers in the car. We were pretty comfortable but knew when Harrison missed that chance we’d blown the opportunity to win it.

I'm satisfied with the result. Its fine, we move on.

However, celebrating a point from a 0-0 where we once again played horrible football is very small time mentality from some of our fans.

It's not "very small time mentality", it is called RELIEF. Because, once again, no one gave us a chance, we were gonna be thrashed, but is did not happen.

No motm poll?

no point in that, it is Pickford as usual

 

[blackie_jones75]

Could Doucsie , had he received the pass… swept this in majestically with his right foot? sadly we shall never know

Same old MOTD, slagging Pickford off for doin his job, unreal.
