Another week, another Chelsea defeat.<\/strong><\/p>\n On Sunday, the\u00a0Blues\u00a0suffered their seventh loss of the 2023\/24\u00a0Premier League\u00a0season so far, falling to an in-form Everton side at Goodison Park thanks to second-half goals from Abdoulaye Doucoure and Lewis Dobbin.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s how X reacted to all the action on Sunday\u2026<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Armando Broja\u2019s inclusion ahead of summer signing Nicolas Jackson was the biggest talking point surrounding Pochettino\u2019s changes and it was a decision that went down well with Chelsea fans on X.<\/p>\n It\u2019s exactly what we have been asking for! Let\u2019s hope it pays off\u2014 CFCStocks (@CFCStocks22)\u00a0December 10, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n It makes a HUGE difference having Broja over Jackson in the team.\u2014 Samii (@samiichels)\u00a0December 10, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n I\u2019ll be honest, I\u2019m a little bit excited seeing Broja start.\u2014 Conn (@ConnCFC)\u00a0December 10, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n One change that wasn\u2019t so welcome was one Pochettino was forced into midway through the first half.<\/p>\n Once again, Chelsea captain Reece James was forced off with another hamstring, being replaced by Levi Colwill.<\/p>\n Chelsea fans are notably worried about the wing-back\u2019s future career prospects with James now set for his 17th spell on the sidelines at just 24 years of age.<\/p>\n In the nicest way possible, how much danger is Reece James\u2019 career in?<\/p>\n Just went off with a hamstring injury. This is (page one) of his injury history\u2026\u00a0pic.twitter.com\/IWtj1BwtoF<\/a>\u2014 Alex (@EuroExpert_)\u00a0December 10, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Unfortunately for neutrals, team selection and James\u2019 injury were the only notable talking points of the opening 45 minutes.<\/p>\n The first half at Goodison Park, while hard fought, was rather bogged down in a midfield battle \u2013 one which Moises Caicedo was impressing in.<\/p>\n Mois\u00e9s Caicedo is absolutely top.<\/p>\n Great so far today and his performances have been steadily improving. Makes me smile.\u2014 ~ (@CFCdruw)\u00a0December 10, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n swear you will never see moises caicedo on the pitch and he somehow gets the job done, love him\u2014 ` (@chelscedes)\u00a0December 10, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n 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.<\/p>\n Robert Sanchez with a *top* save on McNeil.\u2014 Nizaar Kinsella (@NizaarKinsella)\u00a0December 10, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Sanchez with a fantastic save to keep out McNeil\u2019s shot<\/p>\n Injured on the following corner<\/p>\n Good end to the first + start to the second half\u2014 Everton Optimist (@EFCOptimist)\u00a0December 10, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Buoyed by creating that chance, Everton stormed up the field five minutes later and\u00a0took a deserved lead\u00a0through Abdoulaye Doucoure.<\/p>\n The Mali midfielder reacted first after Sanchez made yet another brilliant save to deny Dominic Calvert-Lewin to fire the Toffees into a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n doucoure under sean dyche this season\u00a0pic.twitter.com\/WROUOjpZRJ<\/a>\u2014 BG\u2122\ufe0f (@s1mon_gb)\u00a0December 10, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Abdoulaye Doucoure.<\/p>\n That is all. \ud83d\udd35\u00a0pic.twitter.com\/IpWnRgBWut<\/a>\u2014 A View From The Bullens (@thebullensview)\u00a0December 10, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n While Chelsea were expected to spark into life after going behind, it didn\u2019t really happen.<\/p>\n The Blues continued to look rather toothless in the final third thereafter, rarely forcing Jordan Pickford into any notable saves.<\/p>\n As expected, this upset Chelsea fans quite a bit\u2026<\/p>\n Can someone please just burn down Chelsea football club\u2014 Janty (@CFC_Janty)\u00a0December 10, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Football & Chelsea used to be an escape from reality.
