No team in the world has find more fascinating ways to draw than us

This has become ludicrous conceding stupid goals. Yes we have every right to be annoyed at the extra minute played, however I think we just don't have the metal strength to hold on to leads. We did under DM, while it sometimes went against him like Norwich and Liverpool in the FA cup, we never looked this shaky at the back. I think this is simply down to his bizarre loyalty towards Tim Howard. Yes Tim Howard had a good game on Wednesday, but so did Joel in all the games he played, however he never gets a chance. We have a great team, however if we can't win games like this then we won't win anything.

At the beginning of the season I'd have gladly taken two points from the last two games.Now I'm sick.

17:40
Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink has suggested he may have spoken to the referee, Mike Jones, and told him to play additional stoppage time after Everton went 3-2 up in the 90th minute.

Hiddink told Match of the Day: "There was seven minutes extra time... I said, 'Ref, okay, they are celebrating at least one minute in the corner.'"

He added: "I will not deny it - it was offside because Oscar touched the ball, even though John was technically perfect [with his finish]."

"I took some risks [at 2-0 down] and it paid off in a spectacular way. The team is very resilient."

we can't defend, that's a fact of life ATM
We have individually good defenders who are collectively incapable of defending as a unit
How many times this season have we conceded 3 goals?
Got a sort this out and stop refs cheating
If they know we won't concede then injury time is irrelevant

 

[BernieWright13]

We need a latter-day Gravesen, complete with bald head and wild-eyed gurning!

Kind of like a shaven David Moyes?

People saying we were robbed are right. People saying there's no excuse for the way we played defensively after going 2-0 up are right as well. I feel like pressing the big red button.

Press that button.....Free us all from this pain!!

 

[davids]

.....video decisions might be our making.

Nope we'd have conceded a pen against City........in both games

@Professor Toffee

I am self flagellating

"Sam Payne: Funny how Martinez forgot that funes Mori celebrated for at least 50 seconds, and continently forgot the pen in midweek."

So Martinez didn't mention the pen in midweek but managed to do so whilst not shitting himself. I'd hardly say that's a cause for criticism.

No mention of terry going into the crowd and no time being added on then?, and Chelsea got away with a lot more than we got away with on Wednesday

 

[wbn61]

nearly all on the Chelsea forum agree with the et added on and it was offside but as we would say we will take that.

 

[Ring master]

the second the 7mins were up someone should have been following the ref shouting in is ear , way to nice we need some people with nuts in this side

I actually thought that when the ball went for throw for them via the move for 3rd, [sure it did] that he would blow for full time,if del could have got the ball past that last chelsea player as well that led to all this

 

[BlueToff]

Back to my original point - we're conceding far to many goals and I want Martinez to change it. Don't know why you're arguing with that.

I'm arguing that we're playing some wonderful attacking football and that you 'wanting Martinez to change it' isn't going to happen, as he already has in his own way.

We were solid against Spurs for the main part, and same against City in both games. Two minutes of madness and bad luck today changed that, and then a terrible piece of officiating.

That's my argument.

 

[Bluesoulrebel]

I detest that line. The "mistake" vs. City was the ref deciding not to give a penalty on what was far from a clear-cut decision. This was so obvious, Helen Keller could have made the call.

And she would have written something profound as well

Press that button.....Free us all from this pain!!

One of those things where having two keys to use it is a good idea. I would've pressed it for sure after everything that happened that game.
