Chelsea 2-2 Everton

[Laylabelle 9,359]

We only went 2-1 up cause of a penalty..its poor poor and that's why we're where we are...and where we will stay..

This is all on Potter. Doesn't learn. Still does the same stupid subs like he did against Leeds, where only fortune saved us. It was a poor performance. That is what happens when you play too defensive. 3-5-2 tactic is just too negative and not a formation we should be playing against a team in the blood relegation. Mudryk was unleashed last week. His reward today, put on the bench and not even come on. Absolutely bizarre tactics. Boring football once again. We should be making lightwork of this team. It proves to me that the last three wins was just a mere false hope. Pathetic.

only time I like a back three is against teams that come at us hard

that do not low block us into the mud

that is why we won the CL

Tuchel's back 3 worked a charm on those ferociously attacking sides

but then we come up on all this English dire flat back 7 dross

and sputter out

INSANE that we acted like EVERTON were a knockout round top euro bomb attack side once we scored one goal

we KNEW they would go for it, opening up counters like crazy

and what did the dosser tosser Potter do?

took off an attacker and put on chicken with no head flopper and technical skills of a 1969 Division Two CB Gallagher

then later took us down to ONE attacker

arffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Best defender today. Who the fuck replaces best defender with 2:1 lead??? 

 fofana was struggling with cramp near the end and was limping, I think that's the reason for the change.

What actually happened was this,

                       Felix 

         Pulisic.            Havertz 

To 

                Felix.     havertz 

                      Connor

Potter doesn't play a typical 343, so it isn't swapping a winger for a cm it's swapping a cam for a cm/cam 

Why people have it in Thier head Connor is a defensive player is beyond me.

 

 

Gallagher is undisciplined and terrible technically

he panics and makes rash decisions far too much

he is certainly not the type to crystalise counter opportunities (which we instantly had as Dyche went for it when they fell behind) via his passing and build up skills

Gallagher is a box to box, Felix is an AM. It isn't hard to understand.

The owners need to fire him tonight and bring in Zidane or Enrique

Zidane is likely never going to manage in the EPL

his English is shit, he has said so many times he doesn't care about learning it

and he has said he doesn't fancy the EPL style of footie as well

he is going to end up at PSG or the French national side

Enrique would be an upgrade for sure

but he is not tippy top of my list

I have wanted Nagelsmann ever since Conte imploded

but he is not available atm

I would probably take Poch over Enrique

and there are other too

I have listed all acceptable candidates many times before

 

[Vesper 28,831]

Håland with another hat trick

and so much for Burnley being the best Championship side in ages

 

[HEREIAM 83]

Potter saying it was a step forward, I’ll let you breath that in for a minute 

[Vesper 28,831]

37 games

42 goals

and other than this hattie and 1 goal in the League Cup, all the rest are in the CL or the EPL (32 games, 38 goals in only 2500 minutes)

He didn't replace Felix so what's your point? 

Kepa is a GK KK is a CB...... Where are you going with this

Even with the good old TT playbook and super conservative (or idiotic) subs, GP is having us underperforming massively. Was never convinced of this false dawn. Will return from the int break with maybe one decent or two decent games and then tbe same lack of energy and ideas will kick in again. Same for koulibaly, Cucurella and Kepa form. They will just go back to their usual shit selves

My bad. Stupidity is contagious. 

A CM for a winger makes perfect sense.

[chelsea_4_eva 1,159]

Didn't catch the game but did he really go defensive with 30 minutes to play, against Everton of all teams... shocking. It really puts things in perspective when you realize that one half is 45 minutes.

Clearly u read the post before posting, pulisic was playing in a cam position, putting a box to box in a cam position isn't that unheard off.

[DDA 9,690]

Bring Luis Enrique in immediately...

 I guess the countless numbers of replies aren't getting the point across.

He really isn't the answer. We'll play some attractive football, but we'll be found out when it really matters.

New manager fair enough, but not him.
