Chelsea dominating possession but Everton not lost yet. Anything can happen.

Good job getting the ball to Rodwell.

Could’ve been a goal with a bit more speed. Also, good job by Heitinga against Drogba seconds later.

At least Everton isn’t sitting back like they do in the first half against lesser opponents.

Bily with a header. Cahill would’ve scored there, I’m sure.

When do we get him back?

The Asian Cup final starts in two hours, he’ll definitely be back against Blackpool, with a bit of luck against Arsenal.

Howard Webb, upset that the players are getting more attention than him, calls a ridiculous foul on Saha.

by mattjg on Jan 29, 2011 1:11 PM GMT reply actions

So what’s going on, missed everything. Then I came back home and thought I had the channel that was playing the tie, well it looks like I don’t. Depending on you guys today.

COYB!

Chelsea’s had the possession edge, but we’ve had some good chances. A decent chance for Rodwell, a cross Bily didn’t get all of and a header by Bily that Petr Cech had to dive and save.

by mattjg on Jan 29, 2011 1:13 PM GMT up reply actions

Nice shot by Mikel, if they stop the sloppy passing they have a chance today.

Half Time

Considering our opponent, that’s the best first half Everton has played in a long time (excluding Scunthorpe last round)

Anyone else hear the Bilyaletdinov to Leicester rumor?

It has to be complete BS. There’s no way we sell Bily and make Osman a regular starter, is there?

by mattjg on Jan 29, 2011 1:24 PM GMT reply actions

I can’t see a single reason why that should happen. Last season as a loan? Maybe. But not now, we need him.

yea I heard about it. You’re right, complete BS. We have no depth there (or anywhere to be honest). It just wouldn’t make sense.

by SibiGnana on Jan 29, 2011 1:27 PM GMT up reply actions

If it’s still tied after let’s say 80 minutes, would you want them to play defense so that there’s a rematch with Cahill or go for it to avoid a match at Stamford?

A lot of people say that a draw would be good at this time. But I say hell no, there’s no way I would want us to play at Stamford.

by SibiGnana on Jan 29, 2011 1:29 PM GMT up reply actions

I say go for it. Even with Cahill back Chelsea is the better team. We have a better chance beating them for 10 minutes at Goodison without Cahill than for 90 minutes at Stamford Bridge with Cahill.

Nice that Cech has to battle the sun this half. It seemed to affect Howard a bit in the first.

I’m not sure Rodwell shouldn’t have tried to shoot immediately rather than taking the ball and trying to cross.

1-1. I’m disappointed, but I can’t say I’m angry. We outplayed them and didn’t make our customary mistakes or take 10 minutes off at a time. If we can play like this again with Cahill, maybe we will have a chance at Stamford Bridge.

Hate Drogba for life now, but we did move the ball around better. Still think we are a little timid at shooting from 20 yds out. Hopefully we get them in the middle of Champions League looking past us and take them at Stamford Bridge.
