Closed Everton 1-2 Chelsea

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I honestly never saw these 2 late tackles, perhaps because they were just avarage fouls and you with your biased eyes saw it as one worth another yellow. I dont remember any Everton player asking for a second yellow for Luiz in that match. I would be happy if you are able to show these 2 late tackles.

Download and watch the last 15 mins of the game.

I get that you're brazilian and really take it way too personally.. calling everyone who does not 100% agree with you a Luiz hater, but in the end of the day..as a chelsea fan i want best for the club.. Luiz is a great player but brining out that he is reckless in challanges doesn't mean that we hate him.. stop making bad assumptions mate..

I used to be a huge Luiz critic when he was fucking everything as a CB, and I used to say Ramires was a poor player when he was playing like shit in first game under Carlo Ancelotti. So you come with this "he is brazilian" argument. I'm not someone who started to follow the team because there is a countrymen in the club, but yes, only a stupid person, hater or a Everton's fanatic would say he should have got a red in that game.

Passing
Luiz: 54 passes, 74% accuracy, 2 key passes, 9 long balls

Lampard: 49 passes, 61% accuracy, 2 key passes, 2 long balls

Various:
Luiz: 2 tackles, 4 interceptions, 6 clearances, 3 fouls, 2 aerial duals won, 1 shot.
Lampard: 2 tackles, 1 interception, 1 clearance, 0 fouls, 0 aerial duals won, 4 shots.

Having said that, Luiz did look a little bit too brash for my liking.

Well played both sides.It was a good game of football and I am happy with the 3 points.Moyes should be proud of his team and I hope they finish 4th in the league.

I didnt suggest you being someone who vouches for a club just because countrymen play here.. again your wild imagination,, fair enough.. noone mentioned he was bad, there were concerns whether he is too rash in his challanges, his happy go lucky attitude might end in a bad way in the future, costing us the game.. definately something for him to work on.

Last part of your post isn't worth replying to.. full of venom and childishness.. relax a bit and bring valid arguments.. cba having a forum battle over something so miniscule..

To be honest, the only way Luiz could have been sent off for those challenges was if we were playing against United.

Most of them were necessary. The only foul he made that annoyed me was when an Everton player (can't remember who) had the ball by the corner flag and not going anywhere, then Luiz unnecessarily fouled. Was never a red card, but it was very annoying because it could have results in a goal as the free-kick was in a dangerous position.

Well let's stop playing a guy in DM because he might be get a yellow card.

Personally I'm going to decide to support a player who plays his bollocks off and has done well in less than six games in a new position against some tough opposition.

And I think I'm going to defend him against 'fans' who will pick up on the smallest thing to have a pop at him over.

Don't get me wrong, in no way am I bashing Luiz. He has done fine but not brilliant in my eyes. Just because I don't share a view with you doesn't make me less of a fan. I'm pointing out that the second yellow card danger wasn't a dream, it was a real possibility and might aswell been given

A great win after a really sloppy start.

We must keep Frank, the board must be crazy to let him go at this time.

[cousin benson 76]

Please stay Lamps, we need you. Brilliant win for the blues.

He might've got sent off (not really if you actually watched the way Webb handled that game) but he also might've got an assist from that sumptuous ball through for Torres.

Like I said, he had a decent game with stuff there for people to criticise him for and stuff there for people to praise him for, depending on their wont.

Believe it or not, this is the first time we have won 3 consecutive away league games in a single season since August-September 2009! We beat Fulham, Sunderland and Stoke then. Now, it's Sunderland, Norwich and Everton.

[TrippingStep 336]

Too bad that Moses goes to afcon.

Hazard was poor today, like he had a poor entrance against Norwich. He had no legs.

I think he should not start this week's matches, to rest him.

Him and Mata should have more rest in the second phase of the competition if we don't want them to be burn out.

Oscar should start in the middle.

[Paul1970 250]

An idiot Everton fan on Twitter with some ******* tweets.

Go and report him.

Connor.....what street corner is your mum working on.

As much as I share the sentiment, a lot of whether or not Frank will get a new deal has to do with him. Obviously no one knows what is going on in the negotiations, but unless Frank accepts a HUGE pay cut, then I have to admit that giving him a new deal doesn't make much sense because something like 150k/wk for a player who will most likely miss more than half the games is unrealistic in a business sense.

Great win, possibly the best so far this season. Really tough place to go and proved tricky for us in the past plus we needed to win to overhaul the yids and stay close to the mancs. The win was all the better seeing as we started so poorly and everton looked well up for it and also because the main man super frank got the 2 goals. All in all (and with qphar getting beaten) good day. Bring on the scum on Wednesday. Super frank motm, ktbffh

I went through the live match chat and what a frustrating read at the beginning! Looking forward to MOTD or some extended highlights.

Just two questions - any extended highlights?

And at the end, you were very frustrated by Torres. Did he miss a sitter or what happened?

Counter attack, Oscar played a good ball to him and he couldn't even get a shot off. Typical.

Wow, cannot believe some of the comments here !!

Cech made 2 saves, turnbull 1, header against the bar, and free kick onto a post, from an everton team probably played there best game of the season, but then Chelsea had chances too, like mata first half, cole first half just missing the cross by inches, torress could have had a hatrick second half, mata could have scored, Oscar as well.

Considering Everton scored after 60 seconds they were bound to be super confident for first 20 minutes, but your team played there way back in then started controling it, you are also the first to beat them at goodison this season, and first win against everton in 8 games.

Not even going to get involved in the match details, but just make a small point in saying that if you had that kind of durability defensively, the tactical discipline, the pressing, the speed of counter attacks, then you would still be in the champions league ! these kind of tactics and win like that today takes 4-6 months on the training pitch not 5 weeks !!!
