We should be ahead. Fabregas and Willian on second half. We need to change things. Poor display from certain players. You wouldn't think we were challenging for the tiltle. Need to be more linical in front of goal and more tight at the back. Let's hope Conte can do his magic.

I just feel so f**ked off after that half

Trouble is we have Cahill and azibi on yellows need to be careful.

wouldnt mind seeing Willy on later to help going forward

What we've learned from this half: Moss is a f**king horrendous referee and should never step on a football pitch again

So basically nothing, we already knew that.

IF PEDRO is still on this pitch at halftime then conte has serious issues. it is easy to man mark costa and just leave pedro free bcoz he is utterly useless, we need willian for pedro and have hazard as the second striker 

I'd imagine Pedro will be in the dressing room at halftime with everybody else.

Why is it so clumsy every time it reaches Costa ? The amount of chances wasted is so frustrating. Control it, pass it.......basics.

People are mentioning Pedro's dip in form, but I think that ties in with Costa as well. Pedro's runs cry out for early passes & direct play, with Costa holding on to it for ages and Cesc not in the team it negates a huge part of Pedro's game.

We've just witnessed one of easiest halves we're likely to have at Goodison. Everton on their hols and we are playing with similar no intensity. We have a title to win if we can't get up for this we don't deserve to win it.

True but Moss does seem desperate to reinforce that

Poor so far. Sloppy passing. Creating basically nothing.

Indeed, Cesc is needed 

the frustrating thing is everton aren't playing well, we're making them look good because we're so flat. their tactic is get to lukaku, that seems to be it. we should be all over them in the 2nd half because this is poor from us. 

Conte needs to shout at them at half time, we need some f**king urgency in our play

I dunno whether this should happen. 

But i would be inclined to bring Willian on for costa and go with hazard pedro Willy upfront.

and later maybe bring on batsman and fabregas for Pedro and matic 

Moss has been a disgrace in this game

Bit of a dead match up until now.

costa looks like he took a knock in the first half so maybe he'll come off; he doesn't look comfortable at all. 

Usual moaning in match day thread I will come back after the match is finished

I've changed my underpants twice in the first half, three goals early in the second half for us please so i don't have to do another batch of laundry

I hope Conte gives them a fiery team talk. The players need to fire up.

Fabregas needed to keep hold of the ball and pass. 

We should go for 3-5-2 early in the second half, substitute Fabregas for Pedro. It will free up Hazard and increase our prescision in the build up play.

time for Cesc; need a bit more creative quality - both teams have had so many over hit passes I'm guessing it must be pretty blustery there. 45 massive minutes coming up just the way it was on Tuesday night

Come on CHELSEA 

Still nervous as hell. Big improvement needed.

Have to win today! Just have to. If we do we are pretty close of sealing it.

If Hazard is being man marked, he should go and stand out on the wing, leaving a gap in the middle for others to exploit.
