Everton Vs. Chelsea: Player Ratings

No motivation in these players. He’s gotta get them pumped up. That much he is at fault for.

I wanted to rip my hair out during the game. It was like they didn’t even show up. Giving up possession every time they got it, missing clear shots, and letting a good but not amazing Everton team make us look like fools. Please let this be a wake-up call. This team is not working.

that’s all I have to offer right now. Yay- short post from me!

Could have just left it at abysmal!Think Cech did ok as a sweeper at times,I didn’t see the whole game but I didn’t see any serious errors from him so I’d give him a 5. I think the ratings for the centre backs are a bit generous there, I though they were all over the place at times!

dude was picking Sir Bobby Robson’s brain when he was 16. How bout u?

Ivanovic – Cahill – Luiz – Cole

Poor form AVB.

This is are my ratings:
Cech – 5
Cole – 4
Luiz – 6
Ivan – 7
Boz – 3
Ess – 5
Raul – 6
Lamps – 4
Studge – 5
Mata – 6
Nando – 4

this is a low point, and this team better fuckin respond. cannot get Drogs Terry and Ramires back fast enough.

been visiting the site for over a year now, love this place. The ratings are kind of depressing, but I couldn’t help but “lol” at it.

for all those that watched the Swansea match… was this one better or worse? I mean this in a completely relative way, of course, since both were bad.

and they all deserve blame. but i must say i am really sick of Fernando Torres. with what little he has given to the team, the one thing we should be expecting at this point is consistent effort. he should be falling over himself trying to make something happen. instead he is just falling over himself period. the same man who famously beasted Nemanja Vidic is regularly getting knocked over by any old defender, losing the ball continuously, and seeming to avoid crosses at all costs unless one lands on his head for a pathetic parry straight to the goalie. i watched his runs or lack thereof today especially, and he seemed to spend his time drifting diagonally on the outside left corner of the box as if the inside were filled with dangerous quicksand. service is obviously important but a striker has to make himself available with decisive runs and he wasn’t. this period w/ Drogs at the AfCON was Torres’s opportunity to step up, get into form and show his worth. instead he’s played like a bashful little girl, and that is completely unacceptable. i have seen squirrels with more fighting spirit than Torres, and frankly i’d rather put a squirrel in a no. 9 jersey on the field at this point. at least it’d be lively.

and especially from Chelsea’s no. 9. it’s not just about success it’s effort. i think you’re overstating your impression of how i feel and whether i dwell on it or not. you’re free to feel whatever you like but i don’t really try to psychoanalyze you or anyone so i find it more amusing that you feel compelled to try with me.

ultimately if you look at the body of what i posted today and in general it’s not purely about Torres, nor am i in some kind of Torres-hating funk. i’m chilling and gonna get ready to go out. i love football and i love Chelsea and i don’t question anyone else’s fanhood so don’t take what i misunderstood about yours as offensive. i like to analyze the football itself and i don’t really get caught up in the other conversations here so i just thought it was odd that you felt compelled to try and address my posts specifically. i just feel like if your attitude is, “to each his own,” why even bother to try and talk about my posts. i mean if i wanted to talk about your posting topics i think i’d have something to say but you’re free to do whatever you want, as am i.

if you looked at the body of my posts you would see i am generally quite positive about Chelsea’s future.

we are soo shit.we were fecking pathetic. when Cahill was so good against utd, then why the hell AVB had to tinker? Now I realise what a massive job it was for wenger to finish in the top 4 with his shitty team every year. play piazon.,play lukaku,play bertie. enough of these portugese shit.

"It’s a difficult situation also for the rest of the players because I think that they all like Torres, they all want him to score"

"But if he doesn’t, what does it do to the result? What does it do to the morale of the rest of the players?"-Ruud Gullit.

After all morale is also a transitive thing.Even if the focus is on the team scoring more than torres scoring,it is an emotional issue that your team member is struggling so much.It affects even more when even the team is struggling.

All teams go through such issues.But a certain result or a performance or a rivalry or a players performance may lift the morale to an entire new level.Donovan did it with everton in his first spell,and their new signings have done the same.

So i still have a lot of hopes when drogba returns,because he brings with himself that aura and confidence(only if he pulls off performances like ones against valenica).So i’m still optimistic for the return of ramires and drogba..It is like when we got lampard back last year.Same player but the timing changes the impact.

If we struggle even then,I’d then be surely shattered.

nothing but bad attitude and sloppy play from him nowadays. Bring in Bertrand and PvA (who’s always impressed me when wearing blue) to rotate in that spot. Iva on the right side. :)

I HATE Ivanovic at center back, he’s been at least in the running for the top 11 at right back with Bos out so I do like him as a player. It just seems like he never has chemistry with anyone other than terry at cb, and he’s not quick enough to make up for errors in positioning.

With Drogs back, I imagine Torres will hopefully not play another minute unless he absolutely must. Play your youth. Give them an opportunity to gain experience. Play Lukaku, Romeu, and Bertrand. Those players have not been presumably tainted with the disease plaguing the veterans and have serious upside. Stop picking players based on their reputation, but reward those on merit. AVB must change his gameday strategy more drastically…why not move either Sturridge or Mata to center mid now at this point?!?! Just try it MAN from the start! Jesus! It’s sad that Steven F-in Pienaar was by far most creative player on the pitch Sat.
