Closed Everton 1-0 Chelsea

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Watched it again, complete and utter freak result this.

End of.

I think we replay that game and put in the exact same performance we win the match 9 times out of ten. Incredibly unlucky.

Without a doubt, but change one thing.....the ref, Webb had a fucking shocker yesterday.

True. Barry escaped at least three solid yellow cards and the yellow cards he did give were too soft. But, tbf, he was probably the best ref in the PL yesterday! Not a good day for refs.

I think we should do this more often, it clears things up. We would win 9 out of 10 matches like that everytime.

The amount of refs that actually allow themselves to be dictated too by the fans being noisy and claim for everything does my head in. This was the case with Webb yesterday, he was rank bad poor and got every basic decision wrong IMO.

In no way am I blaming the ref it's just something that stood out like a sore thumb when re-watching it. Our ability to be complete shite in front of goal cost us.

I watch every game twice. when I watch it live I'm too dialled in to catch all the little things.

[the Blues 11 19]

I watched it twice and I still feel we should of won. It was like everything was against us. Beat Basel Bad.

A big positive that I see by having eto in the side is that it doesn't feel like it's ten against eleven like when torres is playing. We are going to start scoring again. Jose needs to drop schurrle and torress

[Shane 2,275]

How about we give Schurrle a chance instead of dropping him? It was the lads second start in the Premiership. his finishing will come good, can see him turning into a good inside forward

absolutely! If you can look past his finishing (which is really lacking at the moment) you see that he's a very interesting player. Despite his build and height, his movement is great with lots of pace. Now, I have to say that we can't afford to wait until his finishing comes good; Mourinho will drop him and when Andre shows some signs of improvement in training he will get another shot. Business as usual in football.

You always miss 100% of the shots you don't take

Bad luck????

It was a great game of football.Both teams played really well and Everton well kind of deserved the win.I know losing is not always fun but this was a game with many positives.We created loads of chances,unfortunately couldn't score but things like this happens in football.

I am sure we'll score plenty against Basel.

Everton got fucking lucky, big time.

[Jase 43,479]

We could go 5 points behind Liverpool tonight if they beat Swansea. Ugh!! :banghead:

[Jase 43,479]

Lost 1 game at Everton where we were unfortunate and so much has been said about it. And always trust Martin Lipton to add fuel to the fire..

And then there is this..

A vignette from Goodison Park, 30 seconds before the start of the second half.

Samuel Eto'o, Andre Schuerrle, Juan Mata. Clearly exchanging words and opinions.

Eto'o, equally clearly, the one calling the shots. Voicing his displeasure at Schuerrle, who tries to give his response but is on the back foot.

Mata, sensing the tide of battle, turns and walks away.

Within 30 seconds, Schuerrle hits the side-netting when he should score. Within 12 minutes, Mata's evening is cut short. Within 45 minutes, Eto'o has drawn a blank and Chelsea have lost.

It may mean nothing. It probably does. But it looked as if Eto'o was trying to establish himself as one of the big beasts of the dressing room, using his status under Mourinho.

The manager will have to show, with no argument, that nobody has any special rank or privilege. Just as he did with Ricardo Carvalho in 2004.

Are you kidding? Webb let the game go as much as any supporter of either team could ask.

[ZOS 580]

I wish we instead get to choose 'flop of the match' in the post match thread when ever we loose a game cause it'd definately have gone to ramires how terrible was he in the first half
