da supremo： Everton’s season looks like it has ended early after a humiliating defeat at the hands of Chelsea leaves them in 12th place, six points off the Europa League qualification places and having played one game more than Sheffield United.
da jogodeouro： Carlo Ancelotti will now know the size of the task ahead of him and where big improvements are most needed, with the Toffees looking both toothless up-front and shaky at the back.
Even senior players like Andre Gomes and Gylfi Sigurdsson – captain on the day – went missing at times with respective SofaScore ratings of 6.0 and 5.9, allowing the Blues to steamroll their way to a comfortable victory.
Perhaps the only positive was the second-half introduction of youngster Anthony Gordon for his third senior appearance. The 19-year-old has impressed for Everton under 23s, scoring seven and assisting three in 12 games this term.
Fans reacted to his appearance by suggesting he should play more, especially since there is now little to play for.
He certainly has a lot of potential but he will only be able to realise that if he is given game time, which could happen under Carlo Ancelotti considering how often Tom Davies and Mason Holgate have featured so far.
As an Everton boy supporters will likely be even keener for Gordon to succeed, and some would like him to take the place of Sigurdsson in team after his drop in performance this year.

The Icelander has one league goal compared to 13 in the last campaign, and it is possible that Gordon will show more energy and desire than the 30-year-old as he will be eager to take any chance he gets.
Did he really play for us?! No Everton fan has managed to name all of these obscure Toffees players….
