It’s going to be a Blue Christmas for Big Sam and Antonio

Everton 0-0 Chelsea

A 0-0 draw is manna from heaven for Sam Allardyce; and his team stuck to his script to brilliantly to defy Antonio Conte’s Blues and the betting odds.

Big Sam knows how to manage football games like these, but looking at the match statistics it sometimes seems a risky strategy! Everton failed to register a shot on target for the first time in six years, while Chelsea forced Jordan Pickford to make seven saves and shot at him 25 times (to Everton’s s five).

When Sam sets his team up it’s usually safe to make a football prediction that it will defend to the death, and he’ll be delighted that the Blue half of Liverpool can enjoy Christmas in the top half of the table. It’s not always pretty, but he gets results. For Antonio Conte though, it will be a blue Christmas in a rather different way. He’ll be eating his turkey in the knowledge that this draw has all but ended his hopes of keeping the league title at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea dominated throughout, but there’s only one statistic which matters and while Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas were a constant threat, the closest Chelsea came to a breakthrough was when Toffees’ defender Ashley Williams headed against his own crossbar. William’s central defensive partner, Michael Keane was superb throughout and almost grabbed a shock win at the death, heading over when unmarked at a late corner.

It’s all smiles for Sam and frustration for Antonio, but they’re both feeling Blue!
