I thought Mourinho got the team selection wrong today.
With the way Everton were playing (packing the middle), Chelsea needed more attacking quality from the full backs. Instead, Mourinho continues to select his most defensive full back selection possible. Ivanovic at RB and Azzy at LB on his wrong foot. Let Azpilcueta play his proper position at RB where he is actually good going forward and bring in the young guy Baba Rahman to play LB. Please. It would be so nice to have a proper LB again and to get our best full back (Azpilcueta) playing his actual position.
Then the midfield with Mikel in there and Fabregas higher up the pitch. Needed a dribbler instead of Fabregas to deal with the crowd of Everton midfielders. Needed more passing and control from deep than Mikel provides. Fabregas should have been further back and Willian should have been playing. Defensive minded (fear-based) changes in midfield that backfired. They were not a response to dealing with Everton but a fear-based reaction to previous games.
The loss of Courtois looks a big one. Defense shaky after bad start and not communicating well with the new keeper Begovic. Pity Begovic couldn't have been here a bit longer before getting shunted in the first 11. Quality keeper. Just a lack of playing time together / experience together that is causing them issues at the moment. Zouma and Terry looked a bit nervy at times. Probably best to go back to Terry and Cahill for now while Begovic gets comfortable.
The team selection and formation to end the game was crazy. Only one midfielder. Three attacking midfielders and two strikers. Kamikaze stuff. No surprise Everton got a 3rd goal. No control. Just desperation. Forced Hazard and Kennedy to come deep to make up the numbers in midfield too. So most creative players were playing in less dangerous positions. Hate seeing Falcao and Diego Costa up front together. Chelsea have played badly every time they have used this combination this season. You either have to sacrifice how high up the wide players play or lose control in central midfield. Not worth it. Falcao does not enough quality anymore.
