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

What are these 50 mill signings??!

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Defending has been brilliant today...

Keane has not played?

We’ve played five different players at CB and Keane has stayed sat on the bench

Lampard saw what we saw last season

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Poodle?

No, but thanks for playing. A bottle of Lilt is on its way to you.

 

[Donegal blue]

Totally agree. Mina just can’t be relied on. Really unlucky already with injuries but we haven’t laid a finger on them today. Midfield weak and nothing upfront.

Terry Twiglets Mina.

 

[KaiserEFC]

What dog breed does Cucurella remind me of?

Bijon?

 

[Death]

Not in humour of football anymore.

Enjoy.

 

[bullybeef]

Everton have been pants today.

 

[bluesb1970]

This game was over when they scored.

 

[Billy Dean]

Just bench him. Impossible to plan with him as his injuries, fitness, and transatlantic itineraries get in the way.

I think you're right. With this new substitution rule we can't afford him pulling up every match

 

[Houghty19]

Only bright spot for me is we've looked far more sound defensively than previous. Addition of two decent mids and a striker will help as well.

 

[Bob Latchford]

My expectations were so low today I expected a lot worse. The team has done reasonably well and in particular defending set pieces. Obviously a cutting edge is required. Dele looks a husk of his former self, so sad to see. Would love to see him get the equaliser today.

 

[johntmorgan67]

Doucoure needs to be off to another club and take Dele with him

 

[TheBigIguana]

No wonder the club have bought Onana. You just can’t rely on Docuoure and Iwobi to look after possession under pressure.

I don't think that has really been an issue today, for either player honestly.

The positioning in the defensive end however...

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Bijon?

No, but good guess.

 

[DanEFC92]

Been poor this.
