Preview: Chelsea v Everton

[banno]

Besic looking good.

 

[Barnfred 55]

I agree and perspective is important. What gets people down though is the predictable monotony of results and performances in these games stretching back into infinity.

There will be no day or game when everything is aligned in our favour for these matches.

We like to look for excuses and you could make valid arguments today but we just seem pathologically incapable of grabbing the bull by the horns, so to speak.

Fully agree mate and it's very disappointing. You see lesser teams than us go to these places and get results but we never seem to be able to. We can't even get a win against the RS at home FFS.

Part of it, under Koeman at least, is that he sets up too negatively in my view which gives the opponents the upper hand. But there's more to it than that and I wish I had the answer.

 

[Joey66]

What have we spent?

45 million on a playmaker with no forward line!

 

[Tin-Tin]

At least give Lookman 16 minutes, what is there to lose

 

[Soap]

It's alright though lads we're going to win the league because Moshiri spent loads of money on Swansea players.

 

[JLW]

Even though we're spending money and progressing it shows how far away we still are

 

[BillBrasky]

He would have given us a real threat up front which we don't have in DCL or sandro.

He would have sulked and stood in the middle just like he did last year in this fixture

 

[carolinablue232]

If we go with the same formation and tactics against United away, Koeman wants shooting.

Still don't understand why he hasn't changed it today. Baines looking for someone to pass up the line to, yet we have 5 players just standing in the middle.

 

[riddick]

There's got to be a happy medium between the absolute "all attack" if Martinez and the "don't go paast the halfway line" here. Just so absolutely negative.

 

[DownunderToffee]

the 3-6 was better than this

My heart says otherwise! It couldn't take much more that day.

 

[CerberusFX]

Just can't have Jags and Williams in the side just slow and ponderous with no distribution skills, pathetic.Just wanted a bit of effort, didn't expect a win but show some desire at least.

 

[KaiserEFC]

That should have been sorted before we let him go!

So we'd then have been in exactly the same situation as we are now except with a massively unhappy Romelu Lukaku disrupting to force a move.

Then we'd have sold him late on in the window for a lot less than we got now.

 

[collymcd]

Why is Koeman sticking with 5 defenders? At least have a go ffs

 

[gonetomorrow]

Pedro is great. The sort of player we just don't have. Quick and smart.

 

[Zeitgeist]

Look at the difference Pedro and Willian make
Turn and go and pop up everywhere

Speed and agility
We really need some
