Everton v Chelsea. 30th August at 17.30.

[lungo]

At least some will take the martinez is the messiah glasses off now.
He has turned us into everton athletic

Playing hurrah football is not what is required. Coming back in the game 3 times and every time running in the open knife like that is idiotic. and what has Jagileka to do to get taken of

 

[everthong]

We have atleast 2 goals in us by the looks of us,its just how many Jags decides to ship in the other direction is the question.

I called it.

 

[TyphooToffee]

When you look at our start, and especially today, and Manure's, somewhere, David Moyes is sitting in front of his TV with a big smile on his face!

 

[tsubaki]

Gutted.

Was it a case of us being awesome up front, mediocre in the middle and appalling at the back?

The attack was good, the midfield was good, the Coleman was good, the defence was abysmal.

 

[Anna]

I just don't even know what i've just witnessed. Did Chelsea score with every attack they had?

I've seen some [Poor language removed] defending in my time but I can comfortably say that was the worst defending over 90 minutes i've ever witnessed. The whole defence and midfield need to take a long hard look at themselves.

I think we've all know for some time we are susceptible at the back and it's taken a class attacking team to expose us in the most horrific way.

It's such a shame because we scored 3 brilliant goals, you don't score 3 at home and expect to still get stuffed.

Genuinly gutted here, koff everton, that's the third saturday in a row you've now spoilt for me!!!

 

[canucklehead]

It's so disappointing to see us with such a lack of grit at the back.

 

[Dexter]

rom was limping

rom was limping

If it was a forced change then fair do's, if not terrible decision, supposed to be easing him in gently

 

[daz4matty]

We just seem to tippy tappy it about sideways and backwards.
We cant take corners and to play with two defensive midfielders and defend like that i am lost for words.

 

[bluelife]

Besic was badly trying to get the same applause as he did in that other game haha....shocking

 

[ART]

I just hope Martinez isn't naiive enough to continue playing players who aren't up to standard. If they're going to play like shithouses, boss last season or not, they should be dropped and someone else given the chance

THING IS WE SOLD A PLAYER ie DUFFY WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE CHANCE:

 

[Ashtonian]

Just putting it out there. For every mistake we made today, are Chelsea midfielders just that much better than ours?

I mean the Coleman og was a brilliant run by hazard

 

[Tommy Chong]

How does the 3rd best defense in the league diminish into this pile of wank within a couple of months?!

 

[toffeejack]

chelsea will walk this league - they were just too good for us.

if jagielka doesn't play, we probably don't lose that game, one of the worst performances i've seen in an everton shirt.

there's still plenty of positives to take from this though, we're frightening going forward - real madrid would struggle to score 3 past this chelsea team. they'd conceded 9 goals all year, so we've scored a quarter of the amount of goals they've conceded in 9 months in one and a half hours.

eto'o just oozed class when he came on. stones has to start next game with distin, it's a tough decision to drop the captain, but it must be done, perhaps he just needs a rest but he'd started the season terribly and we've conceded 10 goals already this season and pretty much all the msitakes have come through the centre.

won't see much worse touches in an everton shirt than besic's either - chin up lad - it can only get better from here.

 

[Jags..class]

Will be to depressing to spend the next hour in here, but our defence was a shambles, Martinez better find Bill and get some money in for a defender, sell Gibson if we have too.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Costa out for 6 weeks....

Costa a doubt.....

Costa scores 2 and plays 90 minutes

[Poor language removed] off Jose you spunk trumpet
