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

btw, that lukaku goal was just as good as giggs' v arsenal. Given it was giggs' forte being a winger etc. With lukaku being a big powerful player it possibly makes it even better. At the end of the day, i don't really care, we won a massive game.

biter off, racist on

its like a derby

This post is such a good one but unfortunately might be lost in the fap rush that is an Everton win match thread.

We definitely scored at the right time as I felt a Chelsea goal was coming.

Great result and Rom that last half hour was totally unplayable, entered full on beast mode

It is a bit weird why we can't do this in the league. No goals conceded in the FA Cup yet we've conceded about 50 in the league.

Because we scare teams to death mate but for some reason always manage to leave the door open.

Teams can come for a draw in the league. They can't (as much) in the cups

@davek has had everybody on toast

Happy now mate

.....chuffed, very chuffed. It reminded me of the Man City home leg in the other cup. Very circumspect, very safe and just what we should do when winning. Today we waited until we got a chance but to be fair Lukaku scored from nothing, only top players score from nothing.

TBF, it was less than nothing. Power, pace, intelligence, nouse. You can't buy that. Hang on - -

....no coincidence that we played 'safe'. To a certain extent it was too safe but you can do that when you have a talent who can score a goal from nothing.

See Martinez learned that when your 2 up you go defensive.

Barry didn't though

Besic in for the next two games though...


Special shout out to Baines and Clevs as well, also top notch

 

[Abertonian]

Martinez got the game spot on tonight.

Completely agree, nice one Bobby.

We can win playing ugly football. Please Roberto it doesn't need to be pretty all the time.

Come on you blues

Top game, wore them down, knew they'd tire.
Turned on the pressure at the end and got our rewards.

Perfect game after last week

Good solid defensive team performance and a beast-like 5 mins from Rom to seal it .

 

[Darth Vader]

Can't even be arsed being a tedious WUM tonight

Over the moon, The lads where so good tonight front to back, Lukaku's first goal will be one I show my 3 year old in years to come

2 games from lifting a cup ffs, Bag of nerves already, Can't bare the next month

 

[Super Kevin sheedy]

[BlueToff]

Happy now mate
