Chelsea 4-0 Everton: 3 talking points from the Blues' massive victory | Premier League 2019-20

#2 Everton's unpredictability is a cause of concern for Carlo Ancelotti

Ancelotti must find an answer for Everton's inconsistency

After Everton managed to hold Manchester United to a 1-1 draw at the Goodison Park in their previous outing, no one could've predicted just how poorly they would perform in their match against Chelsea. They had managed to get the better of The Blues in their meeting at the Goodison Park earlier this season, beating them 3-1, but in today's fixture, the hosts remained a cut above the Toffees.

Everton are unbeaten at home since Ancelotti's appointment, but they have been poor in their travels throughout the season. Their first and only clean sheet away from home came in their very first fixture of the campaign at Crystal Palace and this is their worst run without a clean sheet away from home in 16 years.

In the match, there were some glaring issues with the formation and players. The defenders allowed the Chelsea strikers, especially the wingers Pedro and Willian to get into dangerous positions far too often and failed to backtrack them.

They failed to close in on the players in time and displayed poor decision making at times. They were also not helped by the fact that their attackers, Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin did not put in efforts to track back Chelsea players and remained aloof from what was happening in their half.

Consistency is a mark of a great team, which is something that can't be said about this Everton team, who are full of energy in some fixtures, while a shadow of themselves in the next one.
