Everton: Losing Streak

Yes, Everton have done well against Chelsea over the last couple of seasons, but we have not strengthen our squad and this time, it would be a tricky away game for Everton and results do not lie. The Toffees kept the same team that lost the Liverpool after Rodwell was wrongly sent off.

Everton have soaked in the early pressures well and even had a chance at goal via Saha from the left channel. Chelsea is giving Everton the chance to have a go at them. That would work well for Everton.

The first 20 minutes saw Felli putting in a number of poor first touches and even earning himself an early yellow card. Jag has also not been his usual steady self in the last couple of games. Chelsea has the lion share of the play but Everton is playing the counter attack.

Chelsea totally sliced Everton's defence apart in the 31st minute that resulted in a goal. So much for keeping a clean sheet. Chelsea 1-0 Everton.

Everton players are pretty static and it's worrying to see that we may even have a hard time staying in the top half of the table. Everytime The Toffees are in Chelsea's half, they lose all creativity. There was just a trickle of support from midfield. This is really the situation where you pay peanuts, you get Chelsea stealing even the last nut!

Oh did I say Chelsea scored about just at the half way mark. Chelsea 2-0 Everton. Enough damage for one half.

Second half and Ossie nearly score from the start only to be denied by the post. What luck. Everton then got sliced open once again in the 51st minute but thankfully it ended in nought.

Moyes and the rest of the Evertonians had enough. Drenthe in for Coleman in the 60th minute, and with that change, came Chelsea's third goal. How did that happen? Lightning speed. Chelsea 3-0 Everton.

Second change for Everton - Neville in for Cahill in the 71st minute.

Ossie had a good chance in the79th minute, but the ball did not pick up enough spin towards goal. Final change, Vellios for Saha in the 80th minute, and Vellios scores! How? A reverse header by Felli, Drenthe puts in a very quick cross from the left channel, and in came a sliding Vellios. Chelsea 3-1 Everton.

This game is a full write-off.

Score: Chelsea 3-1 Everton
Scorer: Vellios
Assist: Drenthe
Subs: Drenthe, Vellios, Neville
