closed Everton 0-3 Chelsea

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

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.

We won against Spurs and Southampton because we took every chance we had (8 goals from like 11 shots on goal). As long as we can't keep a clean sheet, we can't afford those misses.

Teams man-marking Hazard would be rendered useless if we had another attacking player of his quality. Imagine Bernardo Silva on the opposite side of the pitch and opponents couldn't focus on just one player. Pedro is only really beating you one way and that's by running in behind. We need a wildcard who is unpredictable and highly skilled.

Subbing out Pedro for Cesc imo limits that. 

Snap mate 👍

And Everton are technically poor compared to other top sides..we are even more limited than them

Our passing has been poor. Game is calling out for Cesc

Moses is like playing with an injury or has sh*t himself. Hiding most of the 1st half, no movement at all. On the other side, Alonso is not effective also, his crosses make me remember Bosingwa and he is not exchanging passes with Hazard as he used to. Shame the form of our wing-backs dropped in the most important part of the season.

Something feels off. Everton are not really attacking in numbers and are looking for the long-ball up to Lukaku, which means Chelsea have very little space to exploit on the break. 

Everton are there for the taking if we can step it up in the second half. Alonso, Moses, Matic, Pedro, Costa - too many passengers at the moment

Hazard is basically 80% of our attack. Nobody else has anywhere close to the same level of skill. Surprised that man-mrking him took this long.

Matic wins the ball from Valencia.

Valencia lays on the ground to protest

He then gets up and easily knicks it back from Matic

 

 

Everything you need to know about Matic summed up right there.

[FabHazard 655]

Alonso  and Moses are playing like shit

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,733]

Alonso is horrific.

Really sick of seeing him in the starting lineup. 

[nono 791]

Alonso can't cross to save his life. 

[Kendrick 339]

Imagine if we had Cesc to pass from the corner, and Hazard instead of Moses at the end of it.

[Cosmin 2,484]

Another huge wasted chance 

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

I despise Matic

[Styles 9,790]

The donkey to footballer ratio on this team is too damn high.
