Preview: Chelsea v Everton

[Michaelcoyb]

We got battered

Don't care.

Could've and should've won.

 

[Khalekan]

FFS i overslept and missed the first half

You lucky, lucky person you

 

[bluerobert]

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

Remember as well though mate they will have Wednesday games by then as well. I know they get an extra day or 2 but Chelsea didn't have to qualify for the CL

 

[Igrok]

Come on, lads...give it a shot...u can look at Chelsea's bench too

 

[cronullasharks]

Besic on for Davies. Good move, Davies looked completely lost.

 

[AdaBrummieblue]

Was putting my dinner on, what changes folks?

 

[navidson]

Moreso. We haven't had a touch in their area. Could/should be about 4-0.

We've been outclassed, simple as that. But we're away to the champions; if there's a game to not turn up in, I'd rather it was this than Brighton at home.

He's a windup merchant of a Chelsea fan - I wouldn't waste the keystrokes Tubey

So is our solution to play even more narrow?

 

[Osamabindiesel]

You can't get away with a back 5 if your wing backs can't get forward. This happens.

 

[Mozza1987]

How was Davies playing? Been very disappointed with him at the start of this season so far

 

[Huyton Layne]

Sub was right but did he think this formation is working?

 

[Tubey]

True, you need to start picking up points against the top 6 though, but it doesn't have to be on this fixture

The start we've had fixture wise, the overhaul of the squad with the entire spine of our attack gutted and the congestion due to Europe meant this performance was inevitable to me. Indeed, I said it before the game - I didn't give us a prayer. Not because I'm overly negative, but for the same reasons McGregor didn't have a chance against Mayweather; the situation is what it is.

Worst performance of the season so far. Outclassed here, yes, but we are just bending over. Better be changes in attitude , tactics and line up for the 2nd. Davies looks clueless, Sandro deserted, Rooney uncomposed ...... the list goes on. Nobody is in control for us, we are playing hoof ball. Very hard to watch this. Saying we have tired or missing players, are not good excuses. We were, basically, rubbish that half.

so poor that he got replaced at half time with besic

 

[Bluerover]

Glad we're at Croke Park!! Sounds grim.
