Another week, another Chelsea defeat.
On Sunday, the Blues suffered their seventh loss of the 2023/24 Premier League season so far, falling to an in-form Everton side at Goodison Park thanks to second-half goals from Abdoulaye Doucoure and Lewis Dobbin.
Here’s how X reacted to all the action on Sunday…
After yet another disappointing result in midweek, Mauricio Pochettino expectedly made a number of changes to the starting lineup that was beaten by Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Armando Broja’s inclusion ahead of summer signing Nicolas Jackson was the biggest talking point surrounding Pochettino’s changes and it was a decision that went down well with Chelsea fans on X.
It’s exactly what we have been asking for! Let’s hope it pays off

It makes a HUGE difference having Broja over Jackson in the team.

I’ll be honest, I’m a little bit excited seeing Broja start.

One change that wasn’t so welcome was one Pochettino was forced into midway through the first half.
Once again, Chelsea captain Reece James was forced off with another hamstring, being replaced by Levi Colwill.
Chelsea fans are notably worried about the wing-back’s future career prospects with James now set for his 17th spell on the sidelines at just 24 years of age.
In the nicest way possible, how much danger is Reece James’ career in?

Unfortunately for neutrals, team selection and James’ injury were the only notable talking points of the opening 45 minutes.
The first half at Goodison Park, while hard fought, was rather bogged down in a midfield battle – one which Moises Caicedo was impressing in.
Moisés Caicedo is absolutely top.
Great so far today and his performances have been steadily improving. Makes me smile.

Business thankfully began to pick up a bit at the start of the second half, with Dwight McNeil forcing Robert Sanchez into the first notable save of the game in the 50th minute.
