i just dont get how this team cannot score more than 1-2 goals a game. just....its not even "unlucky" at this point, its just annoying as ****...

Its this...after every fkn game!!!!

 

[ijjysmith]

Heads up and go again.

Hurts more to lose when you play so well.

Well said mate.

Nobody thought we'd play that well with that team. So take the positives lads.

That Chelsea team is packed with bossness. Yeah we could and perhaps should have got something from that but we didnt.

We move on.

We are boss.

don't know how anybody can moan at that performance best we have played for a while for a full 90mins

Barkley looked awful in his cameo.

Distin was superb.

How we only scored one goal today I will never know.

Think Barkley was trying to hard did cough it up a few times

It's lacking that special killer instinct in front of goal. And if Jela's off-form, we don't have anyone like that.

Distin with an outstanding performance. Gutted about the result, we deserved at least a point. Good performance though. Bring on Newcastle, we want revenge.

Pitty duffy was not there to support him another JH nightmare! missing in position for both
goals!

 

[chrissyjack]

This is what has annoyed me most mate. All game it was Chelsea not playing well, Chelsea showing their class even when not playing well, Chelsea show backbone, not a word about how we actually deserved at least a point. Sky's team can do one.

We were class today.

If we had , deservedly, won. They would just say Chelsea had an off day. Not that our second team outplayed them , like

 

[Rook]

We'll be chasing tottenham and arsenal all the rest of the season.

We can catch one but not both. The fact that Chelsea is way behind Man Utd means they are a disgrace. They have more talent on that squad than City at every position but striker.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Bad luck.

Jelavić played a lot better today than he has been doing recently. Had three great opportunities that he did everything right and was only stopped from putting the ball in the net by the post, Cech and the bar. His head went down after hitting the bar and then cocked up when the chance fell to him in the last minute.

What we lacked today was a real big-game player - a leader. Lampard did it for them as he always does against us. Best performance from us in a while. Hopefully Felli and Mirallas (if fit) can rip the jordy's apart on wednesday!

Jh another mare I am afraid to say movbing jags cost us defensively we had no luck but both goals big hole in the centre of the defence! JH missing every time his hollywood balls were crass Distan was really good no centrartner thats what cost us they has 3 efforts on goal scored 2!

Agree. Distin carried Heitinga this game. Jagielka should not be moved from centre back because Heitinga thinks he's too good to be right back.

 

[americanoutlaw9]

Load of BS. David Luiz should have had a red. Some of the calls were very questionable

 

[Happy Nick]

Absolutely.

don't know how anybody can moan at that performance best we have played for a while for a full 90mins

The Guardian summed it up well enough:

Everton were outstanding for long spells of this game, dominating the first half hour and for 15 minutes of the second half but Chelsea again proved their resilience, Lampard his cleverness and opportunism, to win. If Jelavic had equalised at the death it would have been a fair reflection of the ebb and flow of a most enjoyable game. If I wasn't so tribal I'd pay to watch either side play.
