Chelsea v Everton. 16th Jan at 1500.

[SunKing]

It was gone 7 minutes and we cleared the ball to safety more than once, I was waiting for the whistle to go as it seemed a matter of seconds till he would. I also fully expected to see the flag go up as it looked offside even on my grainy, dodgy stream. I'd usually be livid at us once again for being so naive but we should focus this blame on absolutely abysmal officiating.

 

[PhilM]

That's now a slightly uncomfortable seven draws in the last eleven games intertwined with two wins and two loses.

How difference the table could be if we were more clinical. Quite embarrassing when you consider the squad that we have at our disposal.

 

[Barrowjohn]

We clearly are one of the best teams in the league. I really don't get how we keep dropping points. Luck not with us. Can't believe today's result

Great going forward, but at 2-0 we should be going on to win that game. We should be changing things and making sure the game is won, winning ugly or whatever it takes. This team doesn't seem to able to do that and this will happen again.

 

[LAToffee]

Something has to change. Don't know what that is but folks focusing on the outrageous cheat of a goal are missing that we were 2-0 up and 3-2 up and couldn't see out the win. Terry still needs to get the ball in the net and with all three goals, our defense is too giving.

 

[WycombeToffee]

It's times like this when I consider just giving up on Everton and forgetting about football forever. But we always stay, don't we? That was heartbreaking, gutting, disgusting, robbery. I can't ever be optimistic ever again.

 

[BlueToff]

I genuinely have never hated a person more than Terry. Horrible character. Martinez needs to lay into the officials today.

Not shifting the blame, we just can't close out games. But that today is a disgrace.

 

[mkrudden]

2-0 wasn't tho

It was at 3-2.
They scored a goal that wasn't within the rules.
Blame the officials

 

[willo30]

No.
But it means the fume should be directed in one place only.
The officials.

The reason it went to 98 minutes was down to us. Officials wrongly gave it but if it doesn't go to 98 then they don't score.

 

[lungo]

3 defensive headers missed in the last second of the game in our own area, that's why we are losing leads.

Thats what happend when you have a central defender ( Jagielka ) with a double chin and tits. Didnt playwell today did he?

 

[canuckblue]

Calm down on the 'corruption' stuff fellas...sound like Kopites.

It wasn't the ref that made us switch off at 2-0 AGAIN.

No, it was a mistake at the back against a team that, let's face it, is miles from where they should be in the table given the talent at their disposal. But we did gain the momentum back and took a deserved lead into four hours of added time. That ref, to quote Ricky Rocardo, has a lot of 'splainin' to do.

 

[BernieWright13]

But it wasn't, it was 3 3 because the goal was given. Stop going all kopite, you deal with what's been dealt.

The biggest issue being that after being 2 up we through it away, that's the issue

Exactly. Complaining about the blatant offside and extra time misses the point. Although it does create a handy smokescreen

 

[mkrudden]

The other 2 weren't

We scored 3

 

[matty1878]

It was at 3-2.
They scored a goal that wasn't within the rules.
Blame the officials

Yearh but that doesn't answer being 2-0 up

 

[kenada_blue]

It was offside.


I'll do this until the fume evaporates.

The scoreline doesn't say that. Scoreline says 3.3....from a 2 goal lead.

Fume about the officiating all you want. But we're 2 up FFS and suddenly concede 2 quicker than it takes to refresh the BBC Sports page.

And its not the first time....

 

[streeky]

It was offside

did they give it , no , win the headers and we move on
