Chelsea have gone off the boil in recent weeks..

They couldnt defend.. were relying on outscoring the opposition.. Any dip there, or the opposition wising up a little and they look a bit meh.

Don't think Bilbao are missing him, they have Unai Simon in goal, have conceded the least goals. Just shows what a good defensive unit in front of you does as well.
True.

I suppose you can say something similar about Leicester and losing Maguire too. Sometimes losing a player of that magnitude forces the rest of the unit to step up.

Poor side from Liverpool, but they will win anyway. Bournemouth are normally poor against the big teams and have terrible form.

Our side makes no sense. Gini and Lallana not even in the squad, I don’t know why we put Gomez at RB, he’s bad offensively and defensively there.

These Everton players are probably giving their all, because would you want to be slacking with Duncan Ferguson as your manager? They should have sacked Silva last weekend.

The honeymoon for Lampard is over. The problem is that the tragic form of Chelsea defenders is not only down to their poor qualities. It's also because of the way Lampard is insisting his team to play... AVB V2..
Does it matter? The rest of the league are so poor defensively that firepower alone could seal them fourth spot.

Earlier at Goodison. But apparently this has been long planned and he's just there to watch the game.

The coverage of this game makes me miss Amazon prime even more, really really hope they don’t bring any of these guys over to their coverage.

Well done Everton, always quite liked Duncan Ferguson, he put up with no shit. Unfortunately, Everton play us next, so sod's law they ride this wave right through Stretford.

Duncan Ferguson looks understandably very emotional. Good performance from Everton.

We have them next week and will have to match their workrate because no doubt they'll be up for it.

Rachel Brown-Finnis and Joe Cole as pundits. Feck me, scratching the bottom of the barrell.

Sidibe and Baines .. If we have any sense, we will target both..

Special mention to Schneiderlin today actually aswell. Would be behind Delph, Gomes and Gbamin if all were fit and Davies has been looking better than him too recently but he was solid today for us.

That classic first game after a sacking performance from Everton!

Let's hope it's worn off a bit by next weekend!

Yeah I don't know if the Amazon prime was the marvel of the "new", but it certainly would be a shame if they don't get more involved after the Boxing day games....

Has to be the future doesn't it, selecting the exact game you want!

Both Gini and Lallana out with knocks.
Don’t like Gomez at RB but TAA needs a rest I imagine.

Chelsea are definitely spunking the GDP of a small country this transfer window after they were let off by the appeals process.
Yep, then we'll see an end to all this praise for playing the youngsters.

I don't know why Kovacic tried to go for the double up instead of staying on the runner.

Depends on who any newly purchased players replace. If it's Willian, Pedro, Zouma, Barkley or a left back that gets replaced then you can still keep praising him. If Tammy , Mount or Reece James gets replaced then fair enough.
