The ref is a disgrace so far. He’s letting Everton players get away with murder and he’s penalising anything our lot do. He’s lost control of the game and is influencing the mentality of our players. I’ve never seen Havertz this rattled, I hope that if he’s sent off at least he breaks that Mina’s face.

We have been playing the same turgid style of football for a while, I just don't know what TT is thinking.

Imagine 75% possession but 0 shots on target.

What do you expect when we play so so slow, the same backwards, sideways sh*t that we have seen week after week.

The same point a few of us were making in the Timo and Lukaku threads. 

If anyone didn’t expect this kind of game they clearly haven’t watched Everton at home v chelsea before. They always play this way against us. Horrible team. But it works against too many of our players unfortunately…

We have the German international teams forward line, some of the brightest young English talent behind them and we still suck...

After that sh*t show, I would love for Everton to be relegated.

i agree but still sad to see Frank send a team out like that 

Half time, 0-0 still all to play for.

We have 3 yellows they have 2.

Let's hope TT gives them the right pep talk.

Azpi too

Tuchel needs these guys to calm down and play.

Awful first half, just can't see a goal in this team anymore. We are one of the worst attacking teams in the league at the moment, really poor.

Jorginho and Alonso.. they are not our level.. Alonso I understand why we need to play.. I’d rather try Saul at this point Iober Jorgi

yep - slow, turgid and uninspired. We are so predictable.

Last time we had 80% possession and the game finished 1:1 😅

He clearly thinks its ok because they are his tactics and he selects the players that put out these performances week after week.

The man who is wanted by Barcelona, PSG and Bayern will save us! 
 

@Valerie we need to discuss ice cream strategies. Do I get the tub out now to defrost for the start of half time or get it out just before it kicks off and crack in to it around 60 minutes?

keep the faith we score in the first 

10 mins after HT and end up winning 4-0.

my only worry is Rudi on a booking , he’s pulling out of every tackle now

True, but there’s a fine line between commitment and thuggery and they have clearly passed that line with the leniency of a bent ref.

They are literally fighting for their lives, I'd expect no less if it were us. 

I'd suppose the question is why they have waited until this situation to start.

One sh*t half of football thuggery, aided by a useless referee. Biased commentary by Beglin. 

Werner is useless in this game, Tuchel should bring on Lukaku.

Shame Christensen is out, he’s in labour! 

Looks like Frank has changed his philosophy from trying to be like Pep and Kloppp to being like Diego Simeone

RLC and Thiago have been above average. Otherwise,  christ. You would think nobody wants to play in the cup final. Havertz is being played with and he is biting like Carherine Zeta Jones on @Nibs pillow.

You could make a case for any of Jorginho, Havertz, Mount or Werner to come off. All contributed next to nothing.

My initial post was that I thought Havertz and Mount need a rest. Everyone bar Silva hasn’t been good but Mount and Havertz have started almost every game for as long as I can remember.

One mitigating factor which should be taken into account, we played Thursday night. They’ve had a full week to prepare for this.
