If Everton could win, that would be really nice.

Just watching Chelsea and the time that Cahill and Terry spend on the ball must be a quarter of what Jags and Distin spend with the ball at their feet.

But, but, but...having the ball at the feet of your worst passers for the longest time is the right way to play footy. Chelsea aren't playing the right way.

And their defenders are scoring from corners... more the fool them I suppose.

Proper idiots them mate everyone knows that goals from corners aren't worth as much as goals from open play.

Mourinho is clueless. Everyone knows that a teams least skilful ball players should see most of the ball . I suppose there is some mitigating factor in Chelsea's case since they have a useless keeper so Terry and Cahill get the ball away from his area as quickly as possible. Everton however have the US Secretary of Defence in goal and so we like to involve him in a lot of our decisive build up play. Martinez really is quite brilliant, and our Barcelona-type deliberate play from the back style is infinitely superior to Chelsea's high tempo go forward style. Chelsea won't win anything this season until they see the 'tiki taka' light.
