Chelsea v Everton. 16th Jan at 1500.

[big bobs beard]

And Bobby should go all Fergusonesque in the interview and slaughter the officials and take the fine. This Mr Nice Guy act allows refs to not give a toss about biased decisions against us

 

[eurosrees]

still can't shake the feeling of losing this one.

still numb

still angry

Every time we blow a game like this i'm immediately looking towards the cups as some respite/salvation from this ground hog day HELL!

It is like Groundhog Day every Saturday! Get up, get excited about Everton, watch Everton mess up, get angry/drunk, sleep.

It wasn't Everton enough to blow it at 2-0. We had to wait til the 9th minute of 7 added minutes to blow it in even more spectacular fashion. It's quite a phenomenon. Phenomenal, if you will.

 

[zirc]

Wah wah wah

Our own fault

Agree, should have never been in that position in the first place. Good teams would have put that to bed at 2-0 up.

Everyone realises that time added on by the 4th official is "a minimum of..." don't they?

Yeah mate, but even the 7 minutes added on by the 4th official was pushing it.

 

[maverick94]

Why is everyone going on about these 8 minutes? I know its not what people want to hear, but 7 minutes were (in my opinion) quite rightly added by the officials to represent 4 second half goals, 6 substitutions and an injury in which Oviedo had to be stretchered off.
The referee then added an additional minute for the goal Funes Mori scored on 90+1, which included a celebration where the players were jumping in to the crowd, and a yellow card.
John Terry scored on 97:53.

Yes we were robbed, yes we should never have gotten in to the situation after being 2 up, but if we're going to complain, then complain about the offside. Oh and Terry should have been booked too.

 

[hullefc]

Hell of a helter skelter ride these last 5 or 6 games. Offside goals conceded, penalties given when they shouldn't have been, extra extra time added, missed chances etc.. Enjoy the ride.

 

[efcfanwirral]

we celebrated for absolutely ages. If they feel like they have to pander to the fans and not professionally celebrate, see the game out and then celebrate with the fans then this will keep happening.

 

[bluelife]

I would seriously like to see where they got 7 minutes from, games with far less stoppages always get 4-5 mins in games like that

 

[Ring master]

Swings and roundabouts - we were lucky with the refs decision not to give late penalty against us on Wednesday and now we've been done by a bad decision today. Pity we can't reverse decisions and be and be a point better off.

I don't think you can blame Martinez for players poor game management. For me it's up to them to go for corners and run clock down rather than continue to play.

Typical Everton

we are still miles behind catching up to decisions that have gone our way,we get way more that go against us than for us to be real

 

[matty1878]

Martinez best be kicking of at the ref for we're the extra minute came from for Chelsea to score and why terry wasn't flagged ( even if 0-2 up we threw it away)

 

[froggyted]

Offside and out of time. Officiating should be put under investigation

Absolutely. That guy should never referee another Premiership game and there needs to be an Inquiry to ascertain whether or not the officials had been bought.

 

[Saaby]

We played well today. Howard needs to go , enough is enough. Yes Jags made that Mistake but he was in no position to come out like that. Their Second goal was a lucky deflection and their third was an offside goal

 

[Saint Domingo]

Up until their first goal it was probably one of the best performances of the season. We hit a bad patch and the wheels completely came off. Decent subs helped us regain composure, deservedly get the winner, then Everton happened.

You can blame Martinez for the selection of Howard and that mad spell where we conceded two. Everything else is just Everton.

 

[nsno-chris]

Mate...clearly it's not THAT simple because there's SO many who just aren't getting that.

Which is odd as it's so glaringly f**king obvious.

He cannot....simply cannot manage a side accordingly in order they close down and kill a game.

As you say...at 2-0 bury it. Not hard eh...

Bournemouth all over again

Forget the flurry bombarding down our right that wasn't addressed, just ignore it
