Closed Everton v Chelsea

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Easy scapegoat, thought his workrate was very good, and did his defensive job well except for the goal.

Even for the goal, I don't think he's to blame. The imbalance in midfield started with Matic being out of position.

Hazard getting blame? What?

Because the left side is how they seem to attack us like mad.

weird!!!

People earlier in the thread were praising his workrate. How is he to blame for the goal?

[didierforever 7,349]

He's defending all game in our 18y, people were even praisin his defending earlier this game!

But he can't track every run of Coleman can he?

Chelsea is playing crap cause only thing they do is defend since the 0-2...

just watched moses play against city. covered EVERY run of sagna's plus was a handful on counters.

[Sovieticus 743]

I had to.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Hazard getting blame? What?

Someone has to be blamed, now that Torres is gone and Oscar not involved.

Hope that last one is a wakeup call, the team needs it right now.

[LAM09 6,752]

Terrible time to concede. We need to up the tempo in the second half, and get another goal.

Don't even get me started on the officials.

Ramires needs or sit on Barry - mark him out of the game and Everton resort to longer hopeful balls - nearly everything has gone through Barry

That's where we are desperately missing Oscar today.

Because the left side is how they seem to attack us like mad.

Matic keeps getting caught out. Azpi could do better since he doesn't help Hazard much.

[Weckerz 3,781]

Not every piece of criticism is scapegoating.

Let's all be fucking honest - Hazard has days where he just doesn't turn up. Now he can give himself a kick up the arse and light it up this half, but that's down to him.

When we do recover possession, there is ACRES of space but no-one seems willing to actually take control.

Don't get me wrong, criticism is ok, he was at fault. He's just never gonna be good defensively, I don't agree he was lazy.

watch the goal man... watch the last 20 minutes of the first half...

[Ledg 638]

Fabregas 64% pass accuracy for the first half. Wow.

[Blue Traveler 256]

Hazard is 1 fucking lazy player.

Does he want a hotdog to have while he is on the pitch? cause i have one for him!

[Iainrfc04 39]

Need to up it this half

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Idd, it was expected by going up 2 goals that early.

Yeah, when a team goes down by two goals, mentally they make more decision to go forward and they naturally push you back. And if they're as good on the ball as Everton, they pin you back. It's not a tactical decision to sit back and defend.

[Dy-lan 142]

I'm constantly worried about conceding..It's so strange, compared to last season.

[The only place to be 11,313]

Fabregas 64% pass accuracy for the first half. Wow.

They've absolutely done a job on him. Need him to find space.

Again, that's where we're missing Oscar.
