Title Race

[cannotmakeit]

yeah but that is the fans, not the club who knows what the money will mean to them or the players who wants to play with the best in Europe.

I wouldn't stake my house on us winning the title, in all honesty I don't think we'll do it. We can though. If nothing else yesterday proved that anything can happen in a game of football and there is still a lot of football to be played.

I'm still gutted and pissed off at the same time. Chelsea are a diabolical team to watch and their time wasting is shocking. The worst thing for me was it took the ref until the 92nd minute to book one of their players for it when it was happening as early as the 2nd minute of the game.

We just need to keep going but its knocked the win out of our sails no doubt. Stevie must be gutted waking up this morning. I only hope EFC can do us a favour but I doubt it. Martinez will want to win the game as he is a winner ut the club he manages are a bunch of losers so i'm not hopeful in the slightest.

People within club too according to Distin

I am absolutely gutted and deflated, but I refuse to accept defeat yet. Everton fans will want them to throw it next week but no way will Martinez be of the same mindset.

Martinez may not but some of the players definitely will (Barkley).

[cannotmakeit]

don't believe that for a second.

He's such an optimist. There's no way he'll give up on 4th until it's mathematically impossible

I think the players will play for him too, he'll make sure they do.

As for the fans, not one of them will want Everton to win the game, but it's not as easy to support the opposition as it sounds. I'm sure if Everton score the fans will get behind their team, it's impossible not to. It'll be a bizarre atmosphere.

Sadly though given all of Everton's injuries I still think a full strength City will have too much for them

today feels like you have pulled a boss bird the previous night and woke up to find she looks like mandy ****ing dingle

[Vermilion]

Don't expect a thing from the bitters or Martinez tbh, the blokes not stupid, he knows his long term future as a manger wont be effected by a bad game v Citeh, but help LFC win the title and some bitters will hate him for ever.

Maybe that's too cynical a way of thinking, but football seems to be like that.

[Sarb]

Even a draw would have done us ffs

Totally ****ed it yesterday

No chance. Not his personality at all. You clearly haven't listened to all his interviews. He'll be 100% focussed on getting the win. Absolutely no doubt in my mind whatsoever.

[john316]

Hopefully Jagielka will be back for the game and not that donkey Alcaraz. No Mirallas is a big blow for them though. Barry of course is missing as well so I can't exactly say I have much confidence for the game at this stage. Just have to hope Everton find some pride and just grab a draw.

[Leyton388]

This will be Everton's Istanbul. They'll be telling stories of the day they stopped LFC winning the league for generations to come. This will be bigger than 95.

Listened to plenty of his interviews, bloke does not convince me at all. Well see.

I expect an easy win for City, with Martinez making one his after match oratories on how hard Everton tried, and how he can't fault any of his hard working players.

Hope i'm wrong, but as i say, we'll have to wait and see.

Still think we'll drop at least another two tbh, we've been missing something in our game just of late. imo..

[meffin]

I'm over it now. Was absolutely gutted and drained yesterday, ended up falling out with the Mrs cos i was in a bad mood
She actually summed it up really well (especially as a non footballing watching person). She said that we were the only team that tried, we tried everything but they juts had too many people back at all times and they got 2 fluky goals.

I know that we won't win the league now- but i never let myself believe we would anyway.

Do you know what the most annoying thing was about the match? With all the ****ing time wasting they did, both their goals came in injury time
