Sky said it was 21 shots ON TARGET." Approx 1 every three minutes ".


Opta say 22 shots, only 6 on target, only 1 more than Everton.

there is no way howard made 21 saves

Well done on your win. You deserved it on balance. Another day we might have won but missing all those first half chances and conceding a really cheap goal on half time really cost us. Mirallas and Barkley were excellent. Lukaku is going to do wonders for you. Just make sure you play with that sort of spirit against the Mancs!

Pal, I take my hat off to you. You are a classy chap to be so dignified in defeat, especially when I have no idea how we beat you today. Please come back regularly, you are a credit to your club.

Barry was immense. I get what the Citeh folks were saying, now.

Good Ossie showed up for the first time this year. About time, too.

Wore my Jags '08 jersey - looking like your total stereotype. (imagine Goat in jersey) It hangs in the closet, now.

All credit to the jersey - hadn't done that before.

My final words to the missus - "don't wash it."

Jeez - I forgot Coleman. Coleman!!!!

Seamus is Seamus. Performance almost guaranteed week in, week out now.

60K...............Ha Ha Ha Ha.

Nice one mate.

....how good was Ozzie today. Well done little fella. Takes someone special to be brave and look to keep possession like he did today. Not quite MoM but he did tremendous.

43% possession - suppose a team like Chelsea a goal behind you draw in a bit.

they do have players that cost £30-£50m on the bench though

Just shows that Martinez knows how to win 'ugly'.

I'd be more inclined to believe Sky's stats than those of Opta today. Chelsea had us under siege in the second half. Howard is level pegging with Naismith for our MotM in my opinion.

he wasnt as bad in possesion as usual but he lost the ball in dangerous areas far to often

Brilliant. Just Brilliant.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez speaking to Sky Sports following the win over Chelsea: "It feels really good because it was a special game, a special opposition and a very good performance.

"You could see at the beginning we tried to get on the ball and tried to imposes our selves on the game But I thought the intensity in which we defended was superb. We always carried a threat upfront as well.

"It was one of those performances where, as a manager, you are very proud of it."

MANAGER REACTION - Everton 1-0 Chelsea

dare i say it, even osman had a decent game and actually won the ball back a few times and put in some nice tackles. still prone to the few stupid give the ball away passes but he played pretty decent today. i was fuming before the match when i saw he was in the first XI

outstanding game from barry
