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

[Davidoff]

Craig Pawson is having a nightmare.

Going to have to do better with our few chances (Gray, how do you miss that pass to Gordon?).

His paymasters disagree

 

[PhilRegan]

We are toothless , 0-0 was our best Hope today.

Craig Pawson is having a nightmare. is a cheat.

Going to have to do better with our few chances (Gray, how do you miss that pass to Gordon?).

 

[Mase]

Someone needs to start a show of the the consequences of terrible referee decisions. Ben Godfrey done in because refs missed the ball going out of play. And that sterling decision before their penalty is amazing

 

[Billy Dean]

Good performance that half IMO. No one had a really bad game I didn't think. A couple of poor moments from Gray and Doucs maybe. But if we play like this all season we'll be fine IMO

 

[Frenk]

Mate, it was pen everyday and all day long

He went over like a sack of potatoes. Too soft like the commentators said.

 

[atypicalusername]

Gray looks short on confidence

Gordon looked knackered in the last ten minutes

He must be top of the sprints. Covered every blade of grass

 

[hktoffee]

We need another attacking player.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

That call to award Sterling a free kick is one of the worst you’ll see by the way, utterly pathetic.

 

[Oasis1878]

Whether you think it's a penalty or not, you don't put your hands all over someone in the box and even give the referee the chance to award something.

No one is more dangerous to us conceding 90% of the time than our own players doing something stupid.

Outside of that and Pickford getting bailed out with the offside we've been alright but the Gray pass to Gordon is inexcusable, do anything to try get Silva off balance before you attempt to pass right at him.

Yep and I think Mina was lucky he stopped grabbing Sterling when he did earlier in the half, he’s often suspect to doing it

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

We are in big big trouble

Yup. This Onana guy needs to be Superman.

 

[jerseytoffee]

Abysmal refereeing again, really really bad, amazes me the how the standard gets worse.

Thought we'd played pretty well though, Patterson good on the ball but a little shakey defensively.

Tarkowski and Mina looking really good and Holgate doing well when he came on.

Dacoure and Iwobi doing fine really but need more from Gray and Mcneill.

They’re desperate for Chelsea to be up there and not just be a two horse race

 

[johnjoeefc]

Sterling is running the show. Koulibaly what a beast! Gordon and headers. LOL. Someone should tell him that he has to defend and press.

I think your probably looking to post on the chelsea forums aren't you?

 

[TheBigIguana]

Without a doubt. This is far from over.

Even if we lose today we should be alright if this is the level we reach most weeks.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Seriously need to find a smart loan for a striker. Even without DCL's injury we're so light and lacking genuine options it is painful.
