We asked for your thoughts after Saturday’s Premier League between Everton and Chelsea.
Here are some of your comments:
Everton fans
Jack: An excellent team performance, from Jordan Pickford to Beto. Jordan looked unbeatable, the back four were solid, James Garner and Idrissa Gueye were outstanding and always looked in control. I was really pleased for Beto – he always works hard and got his reward this time, ably assisted by our wide players. A good day to be an Evertonian.
Harry: It might be a single result to other teams, but this means so much more to Evertonians. This performance showed the power of our supporters, and the realisation that Hill Dickinson Stadium will soon be a powerhouse. We have had years of discontent but it’s had more to do with the ownership than the fans. The real turnaround starts next season.
James: Best performance of the season – thoroughly deserved. Every player at least 9/10 and some were 9.5. We have some momentum now, so who knows.
Greg: Everton looked like the only side that wanted to win. Fantastic all-round performance that really gave the fans something to sing about. The stadium was rocking. Well done to all the players.
Chelsea fans
John: Players who aren’t good enough are getting exposed. Wesley Fofana is shocking and Enzo Fernandez is carrying on like he is Mr Chelsea but can’t back it up with a performance. Club is rotten from the top down, and I don’t see silverware in our future for quite a while. One bright point is Estevao Willian, but can he thrive in such an obviously toxic dressing room?
James: Woeful just about sums it up. It looks like Liam Rosenior is out of his depth and the goalkeeper situation needs urgent attention. I would play Teddy Sharman-Lowe against Port Vale and see what he can do.
Rod: With the present owners and manager, Chelsea will struggle. The owners just do not understand Premier League football and the manager is not up to the job. Too inexperienced – end of story.
Gordon: How long before the owners admit they have got it completely wrong? Recruitment, training, coaching, tactics. Outsmarted by every other manager and outrun by every other team. A complete embarrassment. The “project” is a failure and Chelsea fans are fed up with it.
