Looks decent today when he came on. Simple, tidy player. Could grow into the role to replace Morgan.

Well, he might be left a bit unsettled by us losing Morgan and Clyne and not replacing sufficiently?

Targett prevents it from being 4-0.

Roll on next game. Substandard defending after losing 3 top defensive players and not replacing with similar quality.

3-0 defence swinging all over the place.

We've wasted several chances today which should have been on target. Frustrating.

30 mins to score 2 goals or more.

Wrong thread 2.

In terms of the play, yes it is. But the goals we've conceded were very poor. Everton have taken their chances and we haven't which is disappointing.

Starting the second as we started the first. Should be 4-0 then

A sending off there would have just about compounded things !

Targett survives for the second half.

£28 million striker there.

Just can't see us coming back to get anything. Such a disappointing game. Today we are showing the missing £25-30 million of quality we've lost.

At least we've made a massive profit on player sales.

2-0. No points today then.

We seem to kick the ball out for a goal kick an awful lot today.

Not sure where the midfield has gone to.

Wind has gone from our sails at the moment. Hopefully hang on till half time.

Stones wearing Chelsea coloured boots today then.

Hopefully we can ride our luck with the under strength squad and get something from this game.

Should be 2-0. We are wide open.

Still learning, the hard way.

So they just need to hold on for the 1-0 now.

We didn't fall back - got what we deserved.
