Everton team is at the bottom of the points table. Everton team is probably in the 15th place of the table. From this, it can be assumed that Everton team is not that strong. However, Everton played well in the last two matches. Everton won the match against Wolves by a margin of 4-0. Everton was able to get 1 point in the away match against a strong team like Arsenal. Everton vs Arsenal match was a goalless draw. Everton team will try to share the points against Chelsea in today's match.
In the first half, we do not see any goals from any team. As expected, Everton is playing defensively. On the other hand, they are trying to dominate the match with 76% ball possession. Chelsea players made 8 shots in the first half. Four of them were on target. Even then, Chelsea could not score a single goal in the first half.
I'm incredibly frutrated to watch how Maresca moved Gusto to the LB. Also, his decision to play Disasi as LB. It doesn't work. He has to put Acheampong to play at LB, then put someone who can break the line.
Chelsea's tempo is very damn slow when they use this kind of formation. Maresca has to put someone to increase his club's creativity.
I think this is Felix's game. he often made some creativity that helped club to break the low-block strategy. It's time for Maresca to puts him in the game.
I know Everton is bad at attacking, but they're good enough at defense.
However, Everton did well in their defensive pattern against Chelsea. At least they have succeed in denying 3 points from Arsenal and Chelsea.q
