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

In all seriousness like.. if we ever need to opt for a more defensive setup then that back 4 in particular with a midfield 3 containing Allan infront of them deffo looks the way to go.

 

[kenada_blue]

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

Possible. But we haven't had a working midfield for a while to say it may not have worked.

There were plenty of counter attacks he could've easily ripping them apart with his passing range tonight.

 

[Rob17896]

Don’t hate me. But would James have put that shift in? Would we likely of had a clean sheet with him playing?

Posted a short while ago, I dont think you can afford the luxury of a player as weak as him in winning the ball. Richie was well off form tonight but his sheer tenacity meant he never put us in danger.James often does. He is a talent, but for the right games or times in a game, not auto 1st choice

Hopefully we bin off 3 at back forever

 

[Toffe3m4n]

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.

Oh Dave ffs..

 

[Vortexgaz]

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!

Disagree I think we would of got totally run ragged today if James was playing
For me he needs to work on Woking for the team not just standing there waiting for others to get the ball back

 

[Furey1878]

Boss result, made up for all the fans there tonight.

 

[eurosrees]

Defence were brilliant, Godfrey motm for me just about. DCL slowly reaching legend status for me, superb again.

 

[LostLegend]

Superb stat, that!

 

[SpongeBob brown shoes]

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

I'd rather Everton win than go through a season hoping we can help teams stay at the top with Liverpool, pretty crap way to watch football

 

[strummer]

Brilliant defensive performance whilst always looking a threat on the break. Everyone worked there socks off and showed a real desire to win.
Our amazing fans were a credit as well unlike some of the bulbs on here earlier

Everton won, lad.

Up the toffees, norrassed about anyone else.

 

[witchdoc187]

Supporting the greatest club of all time is often exhilarating as tonight has again demonstrated.

 

[deipnosophist]

Don’t! Just be happy!

Oh, I am very happy...and glad my prematch strategy worked. I know the players all follow my comments on here and my deliberate winding them up succeeded in getting a tune out of them. I feel in no small part, I contributed massively toward that win and so, quite rightly, I feel very happy...and proud of myself.

Osman about to speak. Switching off. Night All.
