Chelsea v Everton. 11th Feb at 19.45.

[Khalekan]

Ace save, mate. Bestest save in the whole wide world!

OK.

You are Kerry Dixon and I claim my ten bob

 

[Jxg]

no, he doesn't make any movement to his right, he is darting to the left. no excuse not to stick his hand out.

Hopping backwards and to his right doesn't count as movement to his right?

Good night then.

Cannot blame Howard for the goal at all. It was a good shot and going through three players legs is just not acceptable. One of them has to block it, otherwise they've just obstructed Howard's view for absolutely nothing and it's going in.

His punch was poor.

 

[Del]

Yes we did that's not what I was saying, I was more pointing out the fact that we never got players up the pitch quickly enough on a regular basis to have a consistent threat. Being so deep gave Chelsea free reign of the pitch and we never had a base to get going.

So your telling me your surprised we came under pressure a lot away from home to the best team in the country

 

[ah11984]

Performance was fine tonight.

But jeez this league season has been turd. I found it much easier to be positive in defeat last season when we were flying, it's a lot harder when you're in the bottom half.

 

[Jxg]

His punch was poor.

Certainly, but in that situation I can see why he punched as opposed to catching.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

Hopping backwards and to his right doesn't count as movement to his right?

Good night then.

he hops back which is absolutely normal, then he is going left before the shot has even took place. Every movement up until just before the shot is irrelevant. A second before the shot he is shuffling left.

 

[SH1958]

Did Gibson actually get a touch? Invisible. Pointless substitution.

3 touches

 

[Ruairi77]

Unlucky to come out of that empty handed. We played that game the right way and it almost worked. I thought Howard did well and I can see why Martinez likes Barry and kept him on. With Baines and Osman back, this team should kick on.

 

[paule1981]

So your not happy we won't go down?

I'm not happy people think it is an achievement

 

[Fansince1988]

3 touches

He should have come on for Barry no sending off then,we may have grabbed a point.

 

[mrb85]

Hazard is a cheating cnut. He bought 2 yellows for us tonight.

No, we brought them upon ourselves. For Besic's and Barry's we were caught out by shocking inside passes by our two FBs.

 

[sageyefc]

Clearly jumping to his right to save, has to shift left once he sees the ball has gone through all three of his defenders' legs. One of them has to block it, otherwise Howard is seeing it far too late to react.

I can only presume you are a blind man.

Hes standing straight ffs, all he has to do is drop his hand down and he pushes wide.

And the first mistake there is his shithouse attempt at a punch, too scared of taking a hit

 

[Tchnique]

It doesn't matter if it is, that is the point. This position is not acceptable for Everton. Surely Martinez was given a minimum criteria he must meet? His performance has been absolutely unacceptable.

No way is this acceptable in any way shape or form. Not even in the slightest.

 

[marty mcfly]

Again, I will disagree.

Rom should have buried that.....he hit it more or less straight at him.

Grest ractions to be sure......but it shouldn't have mattered.

The ball was fizzed into him. Owen was one of the most deadly poachers in the business and he thought Lukaku was just unlucky.
