Oh, I absolutely agree, Ciara (RE:14:53), Erin is a huge miss, but I don't think Walsh fits at Chelsea for some reason!
Roberto
Fair point, Roberto.
She's one of the best midfielders in the world though, for me you make the system fit around her rather than the other way around.
Chelsea 0-1 Everton
Nice one touch passing as Keira Walsh passes forward to Maika Hamano who then tees up Sandy Baltimore for the shot.
The French international gets a lot of power behind it but it fizzes high and wide of the near post.
Chelsea 0-1 Everton
Chelsea are still dominating the ball but they are really struggling to break down this Everton mid block.
After some more side to side passing Lauren James swings a cross into the middle but it drifts behind without a decisive touch.
Chelsea 0-1 Everton
Ouch.
Nicole Momiki bravely ducks to head a loose airborne ball and gets a Maika Hamano boot to the head for her troubles.
Thankfully after some treatment she looks ok to continue.
Chelsea 0-1 Everton
A reminder that Everton were winless in eight since thumping Liverpool 4-1 on the opening day at Anfield.
They sure don't look like a side short on confidence and form here.

There's a lot of pressure now on Chelsea. You have to win. You can't afford to go six points behind Man City.

Maybe it is just me, but I can't see that Walsh has improved Chelsea at all. Just the opposite, we scored fewer and conceded more, and our play is slower. Dropping Bright was a good decision from Sonia, she needs to do the same to Walsh.
Roberto
Personally Roberto I think the absence of Erin Cuthbert and the tenacity she brings in midfield is the issue for the Blues here.
Chelsea 0-1 Everton
Ellie Carpenter sets off on one of her trademark runs down the right to win a corner, but Everton keeper Courtney Brosnan is barged into as she leaves her line to punch it clear and gets a free kick,
Chelsea momentum halted yet again.
Chelsea 0-1 Everton
No need for Chelsea to panic. Plenty of time to go here. That said the home fans are starting to sound a bit restless.

It's like Chelsea have pressed the factory reset button here. They're back to side to side passes and looking for little through balls around the box.
Alyssa Thompson almost got to the byline there but for superb shielding from the Everton full-back Rion Ishikawa.
Chelsea 0-1 Everton
This game state is now suddenly in Everton's hands. A team that loves to transition with a one goal lead to protect = perfect.
Though Hikaru Kitagawa and Co will have to produce better than that if they are to add any further goals here. That long range shot nearly went out of the stadium.

This is what happens when you play Baltimore at left back. Bompastor never learns, as she is hopeless there.
James - Glasgow
Chelsea 0-1 Everton
Well that's about as bad a start for Chelsea as it is a dream start for the Toffees.
Who saw that one coming?

The game plan so far has been perfect.
It is a great ball in, Kelly Gago's near-post run allows the finish.
It's a dream start by Everton.
Honoka Hayashi (11 mins)
Hello, hello.
After all of that early Chelsea pressure it's Everton who hit the front with their first shot on goal.
Toni Payne escapes down the right before firing a low cross into the six yard box that drifts all the way through to Honoka Hayashi at the back post to tap home.

Everton go route one as Courtney Brosnan sends it long down the right hand side for Rion Ishikawa to run after but it drifts out of play.
Chelsea 0-0 Everton
Chelsea have enjoyed 84% of the possession in the opening nine minutes but Everton have escaped relatively unscathed.
Just that Macario sighter for the champions so far.
Chelsea 0-0 Everton
The TV cameras just panned to the Chelsea bench.
Just the likes of Millie Bright, Sam Kerr and Johanna Rytting Kaneryd and Sjoeke Nusken on there, no biggie.
Chelsea 0-0 Everton
You get the feeling that Brosnan could be in store for a very busy mid-afternoon.

It's great. This is what she's so good in these areas, Macario. She can shift it, that little drop of the shoulder.
I think that's in all day, and that's why Courtney Brosnan is one of the best still.
