There’s cause for hope with the new Chelsea signings all performing well at Goodison Park, but there were plenty of problems in the overall team display. The goal came from a mistake and it felt like Chelsea lacked threat.
Marc Cucurella adds so much to the Chelsea game and nearly assisted Sterling this evening.
His ability to fit into the left central defense in a back three, play in the wing-back, play in the left full-back position is a great plus to the team’s set-up. If he stays fit this season, I have no doubt the £63m paid for him will be purely a bargain.
Meanwhile, Koulibaly had a tougher afternoon and was put under constant pressure by a high-energy display from Everton’s front three.
Raheem Sterling was pulling the strings and completed the full 90 minutes with both his fellow starting forwards Mason Mount and Kai Havertz hauled off after quiet displays.
The 27-year-old was both one of the best creators and most likely to score from open play, earning himself three shots but seeing them all blocked.
