I'll regret saying this, but I can't really see the goal threat with Chelsea.

Fuckin brain dead. Been trying their best to give as many fouls as possible in and around the box. Finally succeded. Terrible defending. Wasnt even goalside.

So Dele came back to preseason in the condition of his life and he still can't get in the starting 11...

I can't see Everton scoring tbh. Doucoure may have just decided the game.
probably right. Chelsea have given the ball away a few times leading to an Everton break, though, and Gordon looks dangerous when he's on the move. They definitely can't afford to concede a second.

Nailed on penalty. You can't grab a player from behind on the shoulder with both hands and then be annoyed when he goes down in the foul is given.

Yes, but then pawson should have awarded sterling a pen earlier on. I think he thought there was contact from dacoure's leg and so awarded the pen. var didn't overrule as there was the little pull, as you mentioned. Not a chance pawson would have given it had chilwell stayed in his feet. So essentially chilwell dived and made the ref make a decision.

Sterling one was not nearly as bad as Chilwell. A little barge in the back, is not the same as Doucoure grabbing a player from behind when they are running past...

He was pulled back before mina jumped on him. Worse than the chilwell one if you look back. Completely pulled him off balance.
