Preview: Chelsea v Everton

[hktoffee]

Why the f they loved to make these s#%^ short pass the at the back? Williams then Jags wt!

 

[JLW]

The difference is team work, mentality and confidence

Against the "big" teams we seem to just fall apart in all 3 areas

For me it's quality on the ball and movement

 

[Eggs]

Our ambitions for 7th place this season could be under threat if things don't drastically improve

..on a positive note, tonight we'll be 2 points behind Chelsea after away games at Stamford Bridge and ManchesterCity. Just trying to cheer myself up.

 

[Soap]

Think that's the problem mate, some of our fans with certain games just accept the outcome with a shrug of their shoulders, and a "oh well".

Exactly well said mate.

 

[No8Bally]

Just checked in - looks, checking back out. Gardening is more interesting and less stressful.

 

[Baines' left foot]

The difference in class is so depressingly huge, we got rich at the wrong time. Chelsea and City nailed it.

It feels like we've missed the boat, doesn't it?

It seems like it's going to take at least another 4 transfer windows to be able to properly challenge.

Feels Like We Only Go Backwards

 

[everton2004]

A 14-0 defeat is still the same as a 2-0 defeat.

 

[jceverton]

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.

I've seen nothing to date which suggests that Koeman is anything special as a manager.

 

[collymcd]

It's really not is it.

3 points no?

 

[Joey66]

get that fecking gana off

He's obviously not fit!

 

[Tubey]

DCL might be motm after only playing 20 minutes. Says it all.

Easily for me.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Now that would've been interesting!

 

[Efcjake]

We were due a loss but this has been one horrid display going forward on the ball. Set out to sit back and secure a point and we've just got bossed out of this.

 

[Rook]

keep the faith

Sandro Ramírez, Málaga to Everton for £5.3m
An absolute steal at £5.3m, his ludicrously low buyout clause. He scored 16 goals in 31 appearances for Málaga last season and there was interest from other clubs – notably Atlético Madrid and West Ham – but the 22-year-old was impressed by the plans Ronald Koeman had for him and the rest of the team and signed a four-year deal at Goodison Park. He scored his first goal for the club within a minute in the friendly against Sevilla and could be one of Steve Walsh’s best coups yet. “I think the Premier League is perfect for me,” he said. MC

 

[Huyton Layne]

WTF is that. Get Gylfi on free kicks or get him off the 'kin field
