Tactics and workrate, absolutely spot on.

Not the silky football we played at the start of the season, but effective and a clean sheet against a side who were flying. Completely unexpected and a much needed boost. The fans defo made a difference imo.

COYB!
Well done Tobes. Draw would have been fair tbh.

Was a bit disappointed in Chelsea tonight...probably just hit the wall after a busy schedule the last couple of months.

Fair play to Everton though, they kept a great shape and defended extremely well as a unit.

yea draw would have been fair. Mendys first big mistake which ultimate cost us but he's been top drawer for us since he's arrived and still made good saves after.

Against teams who we can't counter i would like mason to maybe play a bit deeper and just spread and spray the ball about before making a late run. I feel in compact games like these.

totally incorrect tactics from lampard. Too much fannying it around down the middle. you need to go wide against the 3-5-2 and whilst james was going down the right, chilwell down the left wasn't really there at all. Havertz had decent opportunities and was wasteful. Werner was pretty poor today but was far better when we stuck him down the right to have a go at the defender. He's useless out on the left.

Yeah sound, only we didn’t play 3-5-2 bro. We played 4-5-1 with Holgate at RB and Godfrey at LB.

We just stifled the life out of you. You didn’t have an effort on target 2nd half. It was all meaningless possession with no real penetration or quality final ball.

I see Jota’s leg has fallen off, shame for the lad, as he’d settled at Greyskull really well imo.

At least they’ve still got........Origi as backup.

A CB at LB.

Iwobi.

a CB at RB.


Chelsea are the best side we have played at GP.

Pickford wins it for us.


Iwobi had a good game I thought. Players like him get a lot of stick because they often promise more than they actually deliver, but from a neutral’s perspective, your most dangerous attacks came down his side, and he was at least as much of a threat as Richarlieson (whose final ball was equally frustrating).

He did have a good game.. He caused problems... His last ball or Decisions needs attention, but he had a good game yes

Sheffield United great value today at 4/1. Would be very Saints to give them their first win when we have the chance to go 4th.

Iwobi benefitted from a solid RB performance from Holgate, letting him do his best work in their half. Richarlison helped out Godfrey, a CB at LB, Richarlison gave a team performance
