Preview: Chelsea v Everton

[Jreverton1]

What injuries? Sandro needs to start making a nuisance of himself, ball comes up to him and it's easy pickings for their cbs. He keeps dropping deep too which is giving us no outlet and invites them onto us.

Rooneys been good but other than that we've been utter gash. Williams had two goes at getting the ball away for their first and wasn't close with either of them. Second goal was a disgrace considering we've got two dms on and neither was withing 10 yards of whoever it was who crossed it. Not good enough everton. One goal though and we are back in it. Their back four is gash, their midfield is small, need to start getting Sandro on the ball more, running the channels and we need balls into the box.

Sandro's not really fit tho is he? Coleman, Bolasie, Klassen, Barkley, Mori, McCarthy, could argue most of them would be getting into the side if fit. One bad result and everyone's heads fall off.

standard koemoyes tactics against the big sides

Exactly keep watching Koeman and seeing Moyes! We've been absolute rubbish away from home for months and nothing has changed. Build up play slow, no pace and no threat up front. Actually that has changed we did use to have some threat up front with Lukaku.

 

[GwladysBlue]

I fear we'll have to get used to this European hangover.

We've had a European hangover since the 90s?

This ain't no hangover, this is typical little Everton at a big team's ground.

I think this game shows how we are no where near top 4, today's display is pure bottom of the table.

Wind it in mate

 

[streeky]

tactic change at half time. DCl on so we can hoof it to him instead of holgate.

 

[Blue Roo]

Midfield of Gana and Davies isnt working. Then again we dont really have any other options.

There not working because there's no width, no drive down the wings.

 

[sageyefc]

Davies looks devoid of energy or ideas yet again

Would honestly stick him back in the u23s for 2 or 3 games to get his sharpness back

 

[Paul w]

Holgate isn't willing to take anyone on. Baines isn't willing to take anyone on. It really leaves us with nothing going forward

It's the manager who has bottled it no one seems to know what they are doing Holgate , and Baines look okish the rest are befuddled!

Polarised.

Yes Season has just started but im not accecpting a performance like that first half. A pressing game!!!!! They stood 5 yards off every cross including the second goal. Chelsea are showing us how to press as a team. We look toothless and nearly uninterested. Poor poor effort. Have a go ffs.

You are accepting it because it's happened. Moan after wards and then keep moaning some more it's one game mate one effing game - but the seasons over aye

I'm heading to the garden to get drunk.

 

[Amw79]

Pretty painful that.

Fabregas, Willian, Pedro running the show.

Davies had a shocker, as did Sandro.

Rooney working hard but likely to get sent off.

If we can score next goal, might at least make a game of it, otherwise gonna get it for six here.

 

[davies1878]

We have Thursday away games in Europe before Liverpool away and Man United away too, it will be hard going

 

[Abraders]

We turned up at the Etihad?

We got battered

 

[maccavennie]

Really poor, regardless of the match on Thursday it simply isn't acceptable for an Everton side assembled at considerable cost to resemble something akin to Moyes' darkest days.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Our left side is being completely ignored, ive heard Sigurdsson and Baines' name about 3 times in 45 minutes.
