We have to be a bit wary of Traore's pace and dribbling, particularly without the legs of Kante but otherwise we have to get 3 points here. No excuses!
I think some are commenting based of reputation and past accomplishments than the actual reality now. No way is Benzema better for us than Morata right now. Benzema is like the worst player in Madrid's starting XI when Bale isn't playing.
You're confusing Benzema of 3 or 4 years ago with Benzema today. I can't even call what he does for Madrid "leading the line". He's just a foil for Ronaldo. He's not very good right now. Just because he's technically gifted doesn't mean much. I think you're seriously overrating him.
So you take Benzema, a striker who rarely scores anymore, makes boneheaded decisions and way past it over Morata to lead the line for us? Wow.
Why are some slamming Morata though? He's a ridiculously talented striker, more talented than Costa for sure. Just because he doesn't get a game in Madrid doesn't mean shit. He's a better player than Benzema 100% but we know the politics in Madrid means Benzema starts.
You can never rely on bums to do you a favour. Horrible club with a shite, has-been manager and dumb players. We just have to handle our business as we've done all season.
Yeah, we didn't play well but it was still a very comfortable game for us. They never really looked like scoring. It's been a while since we came to Everton and had it so easy.
Chelsea vs Middlesbrough
West Bromwich Albionvs Chelsea
Chelsea vs Watford
Chelsea vs Sunderland
It should be easy now.
We didn't play well in this game but still won 0-3 against a team that won the last 8 home games.
And we kept a clean sheet finally. The man-marking on Hazard is starting to become irritating. We have to find a solution for that. If not for Pedro's individual brilliance, I didn't see where the goal was going to come from.
I don't get what Conte is scared of in Everton by starting Matic. Barkley? Oh please. We're such a limited team technically, it's painful to watch. In comparison to Real, Dortmund, Bayern and even Valencia, who I've all watched in the last few days.
Hazard's chance could hardly be considered a sitter though. If Costa had released the ball quicker, maybe he''ll not have shot from such an acute angle.
Matic the most pointless player ever. Can't wait to see the back of him. It's a disgrace he actually starts ahead of a player like Fabregas because of "physical qualities".
