Sorry, normally i woud listen to anyones point of view on here, but i cannot agree to this. Everton have been a serial cr@p team for years. Its cost managers jobs for years. Even when Moyes was in charge they would have one good season followed by one bad. They have continuously flirted with relegation for donkeys years and are doing the same again now. If they were that good a team they wouldn't have been in the relegation zone sacking their manager..again.

We are a better team all over the pitch. Digne and Richarlison are about their only consistent players. Today we were sh!t. All over the pitch. Yes we were cr@p and deserved to lose. We have a defence set up incorrectly and a forward line that currently looks gassed and weak.

But please, let's not start thinking that Walcott is a better player than Willian, Iwobi or Calvert-Lewin are better that Abraham or indeed that Sigurdson, for the 4 games a year that he turns up is any better than Kovacic.

 

thanks for ur response Whitewall.

dont misunderstand me. This is what Lampard said after the game. The interview is on the Chelsea website.

‘It was definitely an extra dangerous time to play against Everton because they did have a bounce and I expected that, AND THEY HAVE GOOD PLAYERS. THEY HAVE INVESTED A LOT and that is why people have been talking a lot about their league position. I was aware, the players were aware but you have to deal with it practically.’

take note of the texts i capitalised. they brought in about seven players last season and since that time they are no longer the former weak Everton side that everybody knows over the years. they are actually a changed side right now in terms of personnel, and that is why Lampard said "that is why people have been talking a lot about their league position". With the personnel they have currently, they should be doing very well in the premier league at the moment.

Can't believe a Chelsea fan in this day and age saying we need to sign 7 players to beat the likes of Everton. ????

"They have invested a lot" means they have purchased many players. And that means, they are a very good team at the moment. Now, talking about the number of players that we need to sign. i have mentioned the positions where we need to purchase better players. A left back, a central defender, a positional midfielder, an attacking midfielder, two wingers, and a striker. that is seven players. My recommendations are optional, if Chelsea wants to compete in terms of personnel with teams like Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool and Tottenham.........., that is what to do. you cannot really do anything worthwhile with the Zoumas, the Christensens, the Emersons....... and co that you have in the team.
