Tactical review of the Everton vs Chelsea Game

Chelsea vs everton 5 goal thriller leaves little to be analysed in detail but there are few areas we should loom into just in a moment but before then, I duff my hat to the display of the boys from the bridge and as for the Mersey side blues, well better luck next time.  Formation:
On paper before the kick-off koeman's formation looks similar to that of conte's, except for the fact that he had a plan for 5 4 1 switch to 3 4 3. By analysis, before the game proper one would believe everton should be the team to test chelsea, and atleast come out of the game with something, but that turned out the opposite. The lining up of Barry, Barkley and cleverly In the middle of the park to combat Kante and Matic wasn't a brilliant move by the coach. This gifted pedro a freedom of forward bombing and hazard on the other side was able to drag an entire unit of the right side of everton for the first goal he scored. For the second goal, it highlighted the trickery of the night, an entire unit was dragged out of position before pedro received the pass from Hazard, Pedro wizzing a pass inside the box for costa who sold a dummy to the everton's defence and the rest was history. The three everton midfield were in so many ways outplayed.
They were dragged out of position easily, luiz's forward thrust ensured Matic and Kante picked good position without needing to shuttle forward much from the defense to attack like the tradition box to box midfielders. They made light the weight of Everton's midfield with both Hazard and Pedro bombing forward without much delay. The chelsea formation ensured that every player were mobile even to the three central backs coming forward to close the space left by the midfied to prevent Lukaku and Bolasie ample  time on the ball that could result from counter. This was clearly highlighted on the few touches Lukaku had the ball in a less threatening position almost close to the central half of the pitch. Generally it was more of Koeman lining up his team tactically but amounted to nothing like a rich soup that came out flat from the first taste. The formation was there but no movement no precision and they were meted with an equivalent punishment that never looked harsh except for the scoreline. Chelsea continued their fine form haven gone three goals up in the first half. The blues looked like they were not ready to relax their foot on the pedar with continuous torrential attacks on the Everton's defense. An easy win for the highly supercharged blues. This 343 formation with pace and precision always put an extra man in every position be it attack, defence or in the middle of the field. Highlights of the game aside the goals came from Moses strucking the bar from Alonso's cross, Costa missing a good chance, from Pedro's deft flicks to throw the everton players off with the ball on his feet for the run that resulted to a through ball to costa. A host of other highlights were also from David luiz, Hazard and Matic.

  6. What a surprising match and what amazing article. It was expected for Chelsea to win the match played in Premier League last Saturday, against Everton. Eden Hazard's goal came as a nice surprise. It is good to see Chelsea scoring a victory in this match and adding 3 more points for their league rankings. I am sure Koeman will have to review the team's offensive and defensive strategy for the next match against Swansea City. I am sure that i will make a bet next time. I have to find good betting sites that accept Kalixa pay because i have an account there and which of course has good reviews. Where can i find ladbrokes reviews or william hill reviews because i heard that are good?
