Chelsea’s poor run in the Premier League continued as they were defeated on their first visit to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The Blues were beaten 3-0 by Everton after another poor performance, taking their record to one win in six Premier League outings.
Beto found the net either side of half-time, and Illiman Ndiaye added a third on a night to forget for Robert Sanchez between the sticks.
What do you make of Wesley Fofana in a Chelsea shirt? Is he good enough?🤔

The Chelsea Chronicle have handed out player ratings from the defeat which will surely cast more doubt on the future of Liam Rosenior.

Robert Sanchez: 2/10
Set the tone for his poor display early when he was nearly caught in possession just minutes into the game, and made a massive mistake for Beto’s second goal.
Malo Gusto: 5/10
Didn’t necessarily struggle in the first half but was the one sacrificed by Rosenior as Chelsea opted for a change of shape in the second half.
Wesley Fofana: 3/10
Completely lost Beto for Everton’s opening goal, as Wesley Fofana’s miserable run in the Chelsea side continues.
Jorrel Hato: 6/10
Again did his chances of regular minutes no harm with his solid performance, albeit alongside a plethora of goals going in his net.
Marc Cucurella: 4/10
Nowhere to be seen as Everton broke down the right for their second goal. One of a number of key players who simply didn’t turn up tonight.
Romeo Lavia: 5/10
Looked far more sharp than he did in his FA Cup start against Wrexham, however was still caught on the ball on a number of occasions.
CONFIRMED Chelsea XI to face Everton!
Thoughts on this, Blues?
Moises Caicedo: 4/10
Unusually sloppy game from Moises Caicedo. Really struggled to keep hold of the ball, particularly during Everton’s dominant first half.
Enzo Fernandez: 4/10
Looked lost whenever he got on the ball in an advanced area, frequently making the wrong decision, or no decision at all.
Was incredibly unfortunate to be denied by Jordan Pickford in the first half.
Cole Palmer: 5/10
Looked Chelsea’s only bright spark amongst the chaos around him early on, and had his best shooting opportunity taken off his toes by Pedro Neto.
Pedro Neto: 3/10
Offered nothing. Again. Becoming a frequent source of frustration for Chelsea fans.
Joao Pedro: 4/10
Isolated up against the physical threat of Everton’s central defenders, given no real chance to influence play in the final third.
Alejandro Garnacho: 4/10
Looked like he had intent upon arrival to the game, however is frequently showing he does not have the clinical edge required for a team like Chelsea.
Andrey Santos: 4/10
Replaced Lavia as he continues to build up his own fitness. Andrey Santos kept things ticking but did little more with his minutes.
Estevao Willian: 6/10
Showed Chelsea fans what they have been missing within seconds of coming on with a nice link-up with Palmer, as well as nearly scoring from the resulting corner.
The one positive Chelsea fans can take from today is the return of the Brazilian.
Tosin Adarabioyo: N/A
Liam Delap: N/A
