Everton v Chelsea. 14th Sep @ 17.30.

Well done on your win. You deserved it on balance. Another day we might have won but missing all those first half chances and conceding a really cheap goal on half time really cost us. Mirallas and Barkley were excellent. Lukaku is going to do wonders for you. Just make sure you play with that sort of spirit against the Mancs!

Fair play to you mate!

I thought Chelsea looked decent but we were very tough in defence, something I didn't expect from a Martinez team.

I still think you'll be at worst within 5 points of the top come the end of the season. Personally I think you'll win the league.

they do have players that cost £30-£50m on the bench though

Oh aye. They had all the aces. No shame in losing the ball to them.

I wonder if there's a big difference in 1st half/2nd half possession. I'd like to see that one.

Chelsea's 7 points after 4 PL matches is the WORST start for the club in the Roman Abramovich era (Jul 2003)

I honestly wouldn't swap Torres for Jelavic now.

He's utter sh*te.

....how good was Ozzie today. Well done little fella. Takes someone special to be brave and look to keep possession like he did today. Not quite MoM but he did tremendous.

Pardon me? Four touches in the second half. Four.

His wages are something like £170k aren't they? He's not worth 4 Jelavic's.

I thought we were brilliant in the last half an hour, not so great before that.

Jelavic did well for the goal but that aside it was another disappointing display. Miralles showed him exactly how to lead the front line in the last quarter of the game.

Barry deserves all the superlatives he's getting, wouldn't be surprised to see him outshine McCarthy this season.

Jose - sore loser here.

Hard lines divvy.

Think it showed how much Jose rates Mata. First one to be handled off.

Brilliant game. Difference b/w Everton vs Chelsea from the last season and one that played the FA cup final was: Moyes' Everton took the lead and then defended the entire game and ended up losing 2-1, Martinez's Everton took the lead and looked to attack and add another....won 1-0

Jamie redknapp is flying the flag today! Good lad...

Why do sky keep going on about a penalty that wasn't in the area!!!

 

[coollino]

Forgot how great it feels after a win.

Also, would Moyes have hooked Jelavic and put Mirallas up front too? *laughs*
