Match Thread Everton Vs Chelsea - FA Cup Quarter Final - Sat 12th March - KO 17:30

[blue to the bone]

Why would we do that when the result would be an away replay?

Our away form is better then our home form.
I'd rather a replay then be out tonight

 

[wearerich]

I imagine Kennedy will get another chance (so about five chances before a booking) before he's booked, then Jagielka will be sent off for a Costa dive, which leads to a penalty and us losing. Referee has been abysmal.

Traumatised worried football; can't see the plan.

Ridiculous statement.

Started well but sat off a bit as game wore on. Looked the more dangerous when we have stepped it up.

At the moment missing a bit of bite and drive and Barks has been anonymous.

Would look at Besic on for Clevs soon(ish) to give that and free Barkley up a bit as well.

Other than that no complaints from me so far apart from the odd brain fart from Jags and Barry.

Costa is a cheat... A cheat who apparently gets off with it coz he's a bit cheeky

 

[BlueToff]

Cleverly and Barkley both poor but Barkley could atleast offer something as the match goes on for me cleverly isn't match sharp at all, if he isn't hooked by 65 mins for Del or Besic then the manager is more clueless than I thought.

A draw here is a defeat no way will we win the replay at their place.

We've lost two games away from home all season....

Joel punched the ball 30 yards. He must work out.

 

[DRM]

Because we are the most obvious divers in the prem.

OK. But the referee should know what kind of player Costa is.
Same reason I never understood why a dirty player like Van Bommel got so few cards.

His 'slap' in Barry warranted no more than a yellow.

We just need to wind him up but make sure it doesn't come back to bite us.

Basically, keep him on a leash. We did that in the first half an hour but he got into it a bit later in the first half

 

[argietoffee]

Del for Barkley now
Mo for Cleverley now

 

[Rook]

I must be the only one who is happy with the first half...


The way I see it Roberto will send them to attack second half grab a goal and not have to defend flat out for 60 mins

No its been alright. Plus Chelsea has been playing pretty well IMO.

 

[Jags..class]

It's seems that chelsea are more in control of the game, William is a dangerous player.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

Del for Barkley now
Mo for Cleverley now

agree

yeah just waiting for his winner.... and there it is

 

[kiss the crest]

Barkley and Jagielka rubbish tonight. No idea what's wrong with them! Cleverley is a bit of a nothing player; Baines looks injured.

Misjointed all over the place.

Mate the players have looked solid, Chelsea have had one shot and that was the free kick.
