Closed Everton v Chelsea

Did we shift to 4-1-4-1?

A rare sight - Mikel coming off instead being subbed on

Kenedy - Hazard - Pedro. Interesting.

I'm watching the game today and that what I'm trying to say. Its the exact same set of players, so clearly they're capable of doing it but its just not happening for us at the moment. It doesn't mean that it won't and we have to go mad and change the squad.

That was then, this is now - things change, players age

We have been shit since January - there's no escaping that

We've been declining consistently - culminating in this shower of shite!

Our defence is a shambles, no attacking shape - now we are doing back passes...

Unbelievable - embarrassing

I think Fab might drop next to Matic.

lucky there

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,919]

That was clearly a back pass. we got major lucky he didnt call that.

[BlueStorm1003 539]

We were lucky to not have given an indirect free kick there

well, with an assist to his name. He's done his part. LOL

He's been atrocious, really.

Wow, Mourinho REALLY likes Kennedy. Good signs. Hope he's given the chance to express himself and not just turn him into another Willian.

Next goal is crucial

Its not. We're trying to play entertaining football with high defensive line. Look back two seasons ago and see what happened after the Sunderland game. Last year we had the same for of issue but it was the fact that out attacking players were having it all their way. We conceded 3 against Everton last season, but it didn't matter because we scored 6!

Not sure what your point is. We cant play a high line with Terry, everyone knows that.

Just because we were able to beat worse teams last two seasons while playing in an entertaining way does not mean that its simply a matter of "not clicking" this season. Other teams learn and adapt from their mistakes, Chelsea however needs to do that as well.

Da gawd

[!Hazard! 3,394]

Kenedy instead of Willian is shit decision

We need a goal. Willian would be the worst player on the planet in that situation.

[Barbara 15,149]

Wow, Mourinho REALLY likes Kennedy. Good signs. Hope he's given the chance to express himself and not just turn him into another Willian.

Well, to start off, Kenedy is a completely different player to Willian. We all complain about how much covering Willian has to do for Iva, but in reality he's awful in the final third. Kenedy is way more direct. He should improve his decision making (much like Willian needs to), but he's more decisive than Willian despite being only 19.

Mourinho did drop Cahill for Zouma and is integrating Kenedy to the team, so I think in general he must believe the youngsters we have in the ranks aren't good enough for us. Although in our current situation, we should bring as many Academy players as possible. If they have the right mindset, they'll draw their blood in the pitch to keep their spots, something our seniors players aren't bothering at all.

Matic has more goals than Hazard

Stats mean nothing

Nah, he likes Kennedy because he love his work rate - same as Willian and opposite to the De Bruyne situation.
