Am I the only one that screams every time Neville fails to get close to whoever it is that's threatening down our right?

I usually think 'Oh well, he knows more than I do!' then they get a cross in easily and score. NEVILLE YOU DAFT TWUNT!

He's been poor of late to be honest. I wouldn't shed a tear if he did go to Spuds. I mean, if Coleman was at RB over him, you know he'd at least charge down every player and every ball for the entire game.

I think we get £70,000 for a televised replay.

It'll be like getting a new player!

My thoughts;

Coleman and Fellaini were immense.
Howard should have saved Kalous effort. It was a tame effort, it was ALWAYS going across goal - shame Howard was caught flat footed.
Interesting to see Arteta wake up once we took the lead. Suddenly looked interested in gaining possession.
Heitinga makes us look more composed at the back. He adds a certain swagger.
Nev done well today.

I'd like to see Heitinga come up and say it to the media that " Drogba is a flipping scumbag "

Erm, in that formation Cahill would do a far better job than Rodwell. Jack was our worst player today by some distance, whereas Cahill thrives in a 4-5-1.

Awful at what exactly? He was involved in most of our good build up and a danger in the final third. He plays the role differently to Cahill, and we play far more composed football as a result. It's very rare to see us pinning Chelsea back like we did today and the midfield three where a big part of that, on and off the ball. Rodwell did an excellent job pressing them high up the pitch.

Very good performance and very unlucky and coleman,baines,saha,heitinga and fellaini brilliant today
A special mention for bily well done believe in yourself man u could be very good.

I thought Rodwell played well! Composed on the ball, intelligent runs from deep and broke up play when needed.

One of our better performers, just not a glamourous display. Arteta was terrible.

Completely disagree. He wasted a great chance to score, and lost the ball carelessly to start the break that they equlalised from.

He did show some good passes, but really looked out of his depth that far up the pitch.

My thoughts aswell. I usually am nice to Howard but I thought on that goal he was too far to the left.

 

[Muggins]

I thought our midfield did well today. Felli, Rodders Coleman, Arteta, and Bily.

I saw us play some good football today which is important for me.

 

[ART]

Moyes team selection spot on, team first class, Felli and Coleman AWSOME: How many time did Cole and Terry try kicking him of the pitch and still he came back at them.Drogba one of the best forwards ever to play in England resorts to cheating and fakes injury, i hope the F.A have a look at his antics, And wobble neck Arry if you want our captain start 20 mill and we will think about it. Think the last time i posted on this thread it was the end of the world Nowt as funny as Evertonions.PLAY BILY

Really? I hate arguing with you like... feels like I'm arguing physics with Hawking, but I think Cahill presses really well. You're right, Rodwell did press well and I didn't really think about that. I was more concerned with end product seeing as he was in the attacking mid role, but then I guess there's more to it.

Ultimately though he lost the ball for their equaliser. I don't think I can forgive him for that, even though there was a lot of play in between then and the goal, we were on top at that moment and were getting close to 2-0.

 

[Bilbo]

Chelsea were crap.

Everton were very good.

The draw was an injustice. Simples.


But that is football the world over.

 

[fozzy]

interviewer to moyes "are you going to get anyone in before the window shuts either onlone or signing?"

moyes "NO"

Thought Arteta got himself forward a lot today.

I thought the midfield was excellent today. Fellaini was the man today, but he was supported well by Arteta, Rodwell, Bilyaletdinov and Coleman. That's arguably the best midfield in the League on it's day, and our lads where on top for long periods. On and off the ball really.
