Absolutely Sh*cking!” – Steve Nicol Tears Into Chelsea After Everton Humbling

Chelsea suffered their fourth consecutive loss across all competitions on Saturday at Hill Dickinson Stadium, where Everton produced a dominant performance. Beto scored twice in the 33rd and 62nd minutes, while Iliman Ndiaye added a brilliant third goal in the 76th minute to wrap up the win.

Speaking on ESPN FC, Nicol questioned Chelsea’s mindset, saying the players never looked fully committed or engaged at any stage of the match. He noted there was nothing positive to take from the performance, unlike games where a team might feel unlucky or undone by a single mistake.

The former Liverpool FC defender emphasized that Chelsea lacked ambition throughout, describing their display as poor in every aspect. According to him, the team seemed to go through the motions from start to finish, while Everton showed far more hunger and intent.

Despite controlling 64% of possession and completing 617 passes with 89% accuracy, Chelsea failed to turn that dominance into meaningful chances. They managed just four shots on target compared to Everton’s nine and also missed two clear opportunities.

The defeat leaves Chelsea sixth in the Premier League with 48 points from 31 matches, only two points ahead of Everton.
