Playing well.

They've been dirty, very dirty.

Wtf

Big compliment to everton the way silva has set them up. Game plan worked a treat first half, chelsea fustrated and should be down to at least 10 men if not 9 because of how we are stopping them. Dont do an everton second half blues

 

[dannyboy]

Dinge's free kicks have been pretty hawt and the best chance we have of scoring. Tosun midway through the 2nd half?

Chelsea playing a very high line. Not something Tosun will be able to exploit.

 

[Toffeelover]

Rudiger tried to get out chap sent off.

 

[Stutheblue]

Resilient so far. But we have to keep it going for 90 mins.

Sh.. Reffing v Everton Update:

Mina Booked for clean challenge giving Chelsea decent chance just outside box
Jorginho red card challenge on Gylfi - yellow card award
Alonso stamp on Walcott - ref misses it
Kante takes out Richarlison (yellow card)
Rudiger overreacts after teammate's snide blindside push on Bernard (missed by ref!) results in Bernard falling over, Bernard reacts to provocation and pushes Rudiger. Rudiger goes down as if headbutted..both booked

 

[BlueToff]

Straight away when I saw that Jorginho tackle I was calling for a red. You only needed to see it once to know it was a bad one.

 

[tsubaki]

what are they saying?

Mina was off the ground (he wasnt) and could have been a red card, Jorginhos was as bad (even though he really was off the ground and aimed his foot at Sigurdssons ankle) and the Alonso one was also bad but they didn't mention Friend didn't even call it as a free kick. Rudiger's comedy and Morata's dive were not mentioned.

 

[seer]

What a shift Siggy is putting in. How many no 10s you know who work so hard defensively and he's organising the three forwards around him constantly.

Bernard and digne also impressing me. Come on blues... Lets 'av these!

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Bernard didnt even touch him lol he flopped

Point remains that you should never give them the chance to pull that nonsense. Bernard went right up to him and asked for it... I think the ref knows Bernard is a midget and couldn’t really put him down

 

[captainvindaloo]

Bernard is such a towering head butting threat, isn't he. Must scare the hell out of opponents.

 

[Deleted member 48881]

Silva needs to come out on the attack in the presser.

Following Austin's outburst he has to make it clear how pathetic the standard of reffing is

That's the thing, we got butchered against ManU, no strong words from club or manager, two weeks later, another top6 team, we are getting the same treatment, if we stay silent and suck up every match like this, they won't care and will keep doing it

Ffs everton please just win. This would give us a massive platform for the rest of the season. A win and Marco to have a fat go at that divvy in black giving Chelsea everything would be the dream scenario.
