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

[Davidoff]

Carlo out

 

[davek]

Are you actually happy today?

No.

 

[GotTheBlues]

Controversial but we dont win that with James playing.

You’re probably right, but, I reckon we don’t win that game 9 times out of 10 so wouldn’t focus too much on James - just a good effort in front of the fans!

 

[Aberblue]

No, inside your head...where I reside.

More likely another part of my body, which you'll vacate soon.

*heads to the bathroom*

 

[dublinbluenose]

I think we'd still have a chance.

It's the defence and midfield that looked balanced which was the problem, not the forward line.

If Siggy was his usual invisible self..we more than likely would've lost it. But he turned up.

I'm not sure he puts in the necessary defensive shift that was required today.

 

[tsubaki]

you know what's scary is that we didn't miss James today - different style of play for sure, and a lot grittier, but what does this mean going forward

TBF put James in the position Gylfi was in and we'd have won that by more than we did - we had much more balance

 

[Bullens Rd]

Where did that fighting spirit come from when they've been hiding for almost two months? Incredibly welcome performance and result.

 

[davek]

Yep said it earlier, this result means nothing if we revert back to our norm in the next few games.

We will, and we've handed Liverpool a leg up.

 

[Yarrgh]

Ffs, I forgot all about the game and I even knew when it was on this week. MOTD tomorrow it is then.

 

[Zezti]

BBC Sport feed saying Chelsea didn't have a shot on target after the 28th minute

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

Didn’t watch but glad we won

Deserved?

Absolutely...we rode our luck at times but we were better then them on the day. Defended well, Pickford with some crucial saves, DCL was brilliant and tireless in his running, Holgate and Godfrey excellent, and yes even the Invisible Man was visible...unbelievable.

 

[kiss the crest]

A big shout out to King Carlo tonight who got his tactics spot on

 

[Chegsy]

Three points taken off Liverpool's main title rival. They;re celebrating tonight, make no mistake about that.

Watch us lose against Leicester and the rest of the trash.

We needed a win. No feeling like seeing us battling to 3 points.

 

[RomanReigns]

Imagine thinking fat frank is better than Jose

 

[KaiserEFC]

First game I haven’t watched because I’m at work. Clearly I was the curse
