Match Thread Everton Vs Chelsea - FA Cup Quarter Final - Sat 12th March - KO 17:30

[BlueToff]

Magnificent performance.

First-half was nervy at times but we kept it solid. Opened up a bit second half and they saw more of the chances/picked out the gaps but limited them to just the one chance. Stepped it up a gear.

Magnificent.

Rom was world class that last half an hour.

Martinez got the game spot on tonight.

My weekend is so not ruined. I don't know what to do for the rest of it.

Bu let me make something clear , this is not on Martinez merit , Lukaku individuality

yeh. if the players martinez bought does well, martinez doesnt deserve any credit for it.

Best win of the season that. Well played Everton.
It was dire for 60 odd minutes, cancelled eachother out. Then the killer punch.
Beautiful.

Spot on, 70 minutes total crap but for once we can say we had a player who like all world class players can do, took the game by the scruff of the neck and produced a goal of pure brilliance that will be remembered for years to come. It was bloody sensational, absolutely bloody sensational.

Martinez got the game spot on tonight.

Yes indeed he did, tight formation, no room in and about us
Lennon kept them guessing and Rom was a monster

 

[The Mighty Quint]

What a result, I'm getting the Vodka out tonight, to you Rom, you big sexy Belgian goal monster...

 

[Norwegian Cow]

I did not stop worrying until about the 91th minute.

Everton managed the game well. This result has probably upset all the moaners on here though

Don't be daft. All evertonians on here first and foremost. We all want to win

 

[BlueToff]

Martinez got the game spot on tonight.

Yep. Credit where it's due and we got the reaction we needed.

He got the game spot on last week up until that crucial moment.

Hopefully it's just that he carries it on now.

Tactics spot on and players excellent. Coleman and McCarthy were a class apart in that second half as well.

Could I suggest alcohol ?

......page 58 for Lukaku's goooooooooooooal.

With the teams still involved, we could be on course for a repeat of the 1984 FA Cup final match up when Everton beat Elton John's Watford. Wouldn't say 'no' to a repeat of that, it'd be sexual.

See Martinez learned that when your 2 up you go defensive.
