TERRACE TALK: Chelsea - Fan fury at gutless, limp effort against Everton

The loss at Everton had the feeling of a game too far for the fans. The air of resignation which had met many of the losses this season was replaced by anger.

The gutless display the travelling 6,000 had to endure was simply unacceptable.

This team has run out of excuses. In a week when we succumbed to a late equaliser against Stoke which makes a decent finish in the league highly unlikely, and limped out of the Champions League, was it too much to ask to see some sort of performance against perennial bridesmaids Everton? Apparently it was.
