Closed Chelsea v Everton

[chrismada9 1,948]

We've been OK, but haven't tested Howard enough. We need to stop trying to cross it from the wings, as we aren't going to score from that method with Remy upfront.

It's not the fact that Remy is up front and won't be able to deliver from crosses, it's the fact that all we seem to be doing is playing it low across the goal. Everton have about 3 defenders watching that ball all the time, and they just easily clear it!

The way this game is going what we need is a player that can score from long range. Everton aren't going to allow us work the ball into their net and they are not giving us many opportunities to counter them

Indeed. Hazard has shot from range once or twice. Willian and Cuadrado need to a few times. 1 vicious deflection or 1 bit of magic is all you need....

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Don't blame him... It isn't the right game for him. We know his strengths and weaknesses.

Of course. I'm not blaming him, but he's just to limited in his play. He's making Matic look like Riquelme by comparison.

Has Matic always been this good?

[Toli 977]

Just being rested I think. I hope. I pray.

Courtois has been bad the last 2 games so probably has been benched rightfully.

I'm a bit annoyed people are moaning

Yes we need a goal - but this is the best football we have played for months against a team determined not to attack.

We have bossed the game and need a tiny bit of luck

We play bad and win = moan

We play well and are not losing = moan

[Special Juan 27,111]

Hazard has this game in his palm, trust me.

[DanishBlue 426]

I think we should try some more shots from the edge of the box. Most of the time we are going nowhere when we get to the edge of the box and Everton has 10 players defending so we need to test Howard some more.

[Vytis33 1,057]

Matic was a fuckin beast in the first half. Wow.

[chrismada9 1,948]

Zouma has looked rather solid as well. Kept Lukaku at bay so far!

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Terry 94'

[Muzchap 8,966]

The crowd do need to step up a bit - seems a bit flat at times

We need a siege mentality

Just being rested I think. I hope. I pray.

I really hope so.. oh man please let it just be a rest

[MichaelDance 552]

Oh gosh.. just seen Cech was in goal..

Fuck. Is Courtois injured?

No lol we're resting him for PSG.

[DanishBlue 426]

At some point we might have to introduce Drogba aswell. Everton allows us a lot of space out wide and put bodies in the box and in the middle of the park instead - Drogba is by far our best option when we can put a lot of crosses in.

[chrismada9 1,948]

We play bad and win = moan

We play well and are not losing = moan

We play well and we're losing = moan and leave

don't forget that one!

[Muzchap 8,966]

Hazard has this game in his palm, trust me.

Hope so

[Muzchap 8,966]

Ok our crossing is poor
