Ronald Koeman says his Everton side must take learnings from Chelsea after suffering a heavy 5-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues were second best on the night, with a quickfire double midway through the first half putting Antonio Conte’s men on course to top the Premier League table.
Conceding two goals in as many minutes rocked the Toffees and they were ultimately unable to recover.
And while Koeman admitted his bitter disappointment with how the evening panned out, he insists his players can take heed from the masterclass in the capital.
“They showed us a big lesson in every aspect of football,” the manager told evertontv. “They showed us high quality and totally deserved [the win]. We need to accept it, it’s difficult and we are disappointed. I did not expect the difference we saw on the pitch.”
Chelsea deployed a 3-4-3 for the fifth game in succession - a formation that has garnered five wins, 19 goals scored and none conceded.
The Blues tried to go toe to toe with the Londoners by initially using the same system before reverting to a more familiar set-up. By then the damage had already started to be inflicted, with Eden Hazard often the architect.
“It’s a difficult system to play against,” added Koeman. “That made the movements of Hazard create a lot of problems in our defending. The way how they press and how they play aggressively was much better than what we showed.”
Everton must now wait until 19 November to play again due to the latest international break. A home meeting with Swansea City cannot come soon enough for Koeman, however.
“[The break] is a bad thing,” he said. “The best thing would be to play tomorrow and to show a difference. We need to show a reaction in two weeks.”
