Match Thread Everton 3-0 Chelsea 21st March 17:30

[when i score we riot]

I for one am at least chuffed that the season is well alive, and the whole thing with europe is in our hands.

6 points down to the bottom of the mid-table lot, meaning mediocrity and "see ya in august". 3 Points up to Europe. The one in that position, namely the delusional kopites, are up for a big 6-pointer in two rounds' time. Brentford is our other rival for this, which we meet first.

It's a cup-style run in for the euro places. Lose any of the next two and it will likely slip, and back to mid-table we go. But at least for now it's well and truly on, and there's ample opportunity for Moyes to prove he ain't gonna bottle it this time.

Fantastic night. Sunny spring weather. Up the toffs.

Beto's first goal was amazing watching it back, the pass and the finish ... both absolutely class

Even if we don't make Europe. No one expected it. Next season we'll be stronger. We're on the up

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Saw Yak and Materazzi were there but, Tim, too...

Where's the obligatory interview Everton, with a photobomb from LB3...

That’s all the fella wants, a decent through ball. He’s class when he’s running into a footy.

We don’t even try to play that way with him nearly enough!

Jimmy Garner was magnificent, obviously not for the first time but head and shoulders the best midfielder on the pitch today.

 

[ste d' indica]

Magic in there tonight, right from early on there was a proper energy about the place and it built with the team's intensity.

Best game at the new place yet, fantastic win.

 

[Amokachi1995]

Lets build some home momentum. Think we'll do better against possession teams.

Didnt want Moyes back and he still does my head in on at least one thing at each game (today was how the hell McSlug got as long on the pitch as he did) but that aside, today was a tactical masterclass from Moyes. Absolutely rattled Cheatsea from minute one and controlled them beautifully when they had the ball. Front foot football, lots of effort and fight with some nice interplay. 3 goals against a sly 6 team and Beto man of the match, what a day

 

[Andy McGurk]

Only 7 games, **** just got real

 

[McCallsVolley]

Yessssssssss!!!!!!

I voted for Gueye , I automatically love players who can stand out in his position , and today he easily outshone Caicedo who on his day is a fantastic , works class defensive mid . The break between two Chelsea players , drive forward and pass to set up Beto’s second goal was a thing of beauty.

A fantastic atmosphere before the game. A fantastic atmosphere during the game. A fantastic performance for the game.

Chelsea weren’t up for it from the get go.

WTF is he doing not starting Ireogbunam?

This is what happens when you dont play your best RB at RB.
