What a day. Goodison mate. Immense.

It definitely didn’t feel like those percentages in the game.

The stats that count, of course, are shots on target (4:5 to them) and goals (1:0 to us). Unless possession results in shots, then its only use is in tiring the opposition a bit.

Going to celebrate this win, no work tomorrow as it is a Bank Holiday, just got myself a bottle of Bushmills and some white wine for Mrs C.

European Champions Chelsea you mean?

Them league shy winning sobs, yes.

 

[The Trinity.]

Right too of course.
To finally see Richy slot again.

Can see Gray bagging one soon...hopefully

Totally agree with you. We need more goals from all over the team and pitch…Would love to see Gordon weigh in with more goals. Not criticising him ( far from it ). But a few more goals from him would help. And I’d love to see DCL get back to scoring goals. And even something from Rondon would help.
So let’s hope that we survive the drop. And that Lampard addresses this lack of goals from all around the pitch for next season. Get them all shooting from outside the box. And not just depending on a few players. Up the Toffees….

I gave Pickford man of the match but there should have been a column for all of them.

As blatant as it gets.

I hate to sound like a sore loser or paranoid wreck, but the longer these weird decisions go on the more I'm convinced that VAR is a tool for the FA to influence interesting storylines in the league.

Pickford's save gives him MOM for me but the best save I have seen in all my years watching .

I was sunbathing at the beach during the game checking bbc sport for updates. Was just like being at the ground plus I now have beautiful golden skin. Just popped in to vote for Holgate as MOTM.
Up the toffees!

Meanwhile I was shaking and crying all game. Beautiful times my friend.

Meanwhile I was shaking and crying all game. Beautiful times my friend.

I still did a fist pump and a muffled ‘yassss’ in a busy beachfront restaurant when I saw the goal update. Think the waiter thought I was complimenting the French fries, which I absolutely was not. Like eating crispy grass.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

I'm totally drained, feel it for my amigo @allezlesbleus he must have gone for a warm down after the gamelol

 

[Blue_Berry]

Extraordinary effort all round today. We don't have the individual skill to match some of Chelsea's finest, but we out-willed them today. Just can't see anyone looking beyond Pickford today for our MoM. Outstanding and pivotal. That save from, really, their only clear chance was utterly world class.

 

[MACCA75]

We must be the only team in the league that play 98-99 minutes at home.

 

[Oddson]

Best atmosphere in 20+ years, Goodison was absolutely rocking, we fought like dogs from 1st minute, them 2 Pickford saves were just unreal & Rico put in a proper shift, shout out to Iwobi who just ran his nads off again, play like that for these last 6 games & there’s NO WAY we’re going down.
