After a decent first 10 minutes, a beyond terrible next 25, and a good final 10 minutes to end the first half, the second half was a fairly even affair, both sides carrying a decent amount of threat. Ā Chelsea pressed, Everton countered. Ā With every failed attack, their chance of scoring went up. Ā And so, 3-1 it finishes.
- Funny how games can turn on random events, like Besic picking up an early injury, forcing a reshuffle from Martinez. Ā Naismith, the Chelsea-killer came on, and promptly killed Chelsea.
- Stones looked pretty good, as a future silver lining.
- Temptation to blame Ivanovic for everything, but the marking by the center backs on Everton’s first goal (and third goal) was absolutely atrocious. Ā And even with Mikel in there, Everton had ridiculous amounts of space regularly in midfield. Ā Our defensive record will not improve until that improves.
- In fact, the whole team is tragically out of form.
- Kenedy looked every bit a raw 19-year-old prospect today. Ā That will happen with 19-year-olds. Ā Zouma had several silly lapses of concentration as well. Ā That will happen with young players.
- How many corners did we have? Ā Aren’t we supposed to be good at these things?
- 4 points from 5. Ā One win Ā Two losses in a row. Ā The darkest timeline.
