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

Enjoyed watching Patterson today.

Tarky is going to be so important for us ……

Still think we nick a point, come on you blues

Honestly, I may be in minority but overall I like how we are playing.

We've probably kept the ball better and progressed it up the pitch faster than we did last season.

Problem is when it's got there the front 3 have been pretty poor.

I'm enjoying it to be honest. We are lacking in the final 3rd

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Why mate?

I don't know, I think it's confirmation bias.

I really didn't want us to sign him, think in part from that Spurs documentary where he just seemed like he couldn't be arsed.

I just don't think he fits the template of what I want to see in a professional player; he's too relaxed, too quick to shrug things off.

He's a gamble - at least one too many. Lampard is gambling on Mina, Ali, Iwobi, not having a striker, Pickford not having a meltdown...

It's too much. A serious manager clears out deadwood like Alli and Mina.

That assumes there are interested clubs. Doubt many were in for Mina with his injury history

Agreed...

To be fair, Iwobi has been really good today.

 

[Verbal Kint]

We deserve a point here...

And Chelsea deserve to get caught out. They have showed zero ambition to put us away

 

[jazzy]

Is Mina out of contract after this season?

Think so

 

[Rv_blue]

We have been unlucky with some of the chances created.

It’s not unlucky, it’s just complete lack of goal scoring instinct/ability.

Many teams have centre backs with more instinct in front of goal than our ‘attacking’ players.

He's been good.

 

[USABlue]

Another dive lol

 

[Zezti]

Can Alli actually sprint anymore? He's so slow

 

[Tel001]

5 subs but 3 windows means we are going to face a situation this season where a PL team is down to 10 men due to injury, with 2 subs remaining and no windows left.

I would get my life the first team will be Everton.

Doubt it mate , we only have about 13 players available
