Cech was down for quite some time with his injury.

Being robbed of a blatant stonewall pen doesn't help but at the end of the day the strikers have to do their job, and they certainly aren't

fouling the opposing keeper and getting a penalty for it kinda makes up for it though im sure

Ah now he is decent but, is prone to a mistake or ten! then again he's no worse than the current crop!

Beckford must give Everton fans so much grief more often than not.

ctrl-alt-delete

Beckford saw his name up in lights there, should have seen the oncoming Everton player in a better position with an easy pass.

He's 22. Irelands most in form player kept out of the team by Kevin Kilbane.

Fouling the opposing keeper? Will you stop talking ****e. If it happened outside the box we'd have got a free (rightfully so) and nobody would have questioned it.

Kilbane plays in a different position.

This Chelsea side doesn't look good enough to win the league, disappointed we're not beating them tbh

What could Howard have done to avoid the challenge? Very little.
What could Anelka have done to avoid the challenge? Not launch himself into Howard.

Nailz

Thank you, Everton! Could've left with all 3 point too.

Quandary

Really enjoyable game! Everton deserved at least a point from the game.

Great result for Utd too

Nemanja91

Chelsea lucky to get a point!

Anelka put the ball past him and like it or not Howard obstructed him, I'm not saying he could have got out of the way in time but that doesn't make it any less of a foul. It was a penalty, end of story.

fecking shambles, Carlo in danger of gonig now

Fair to say based on the chances and movement in the last 25 mins

Everton could have won it in the end but a draw was probably fair enough.

Pro. F

Happy days.

Fair play to Baines. His crossing was quality. From any position at any angle he made it look easy.

Anelka, Drogba and Kalou let their side down today I think.

Of the two players, which player had the most momentum towards the opposing player?

so if a keeper stops and then stands still, and another player runs at him 3 or 4 yards away, knocks the ball one way with the side of his foot and then runs straight at the keeper?

Thats how I saw it

So I think it wasnt a penalty.

But Coleman fouled late on so horses for courses

cson

Ray Wilkins effect a lot greater than you'd have thought evidently.

Anelka, why?

First thing I thought was that it was obstruction rather than a pen. Can obstruction and indirect free be given in the box ?

Was this momentum forceful?

Was this momentum preventable?

Was this momentum deliberate?

I know a match thread isn't really the place for a question like this but why did Ray get the road? Didn't Carlo A say it was nothing to do with him?

What do you think? Should he have been running the other direction?

The bottom line is if this was outside the box it would be a free kick to Chelsea and probably not a talking point.

I can see this argument heading the way of the Rooney's pen V Arsenal at OT a while ago, the shoe is obviously on the other foot this time though.

Lets not drag this one out.

What about how good Everton were guys? Deserve a lot of credit.

I think it says something when as a Utd fan I would usually have been p!ssed off at the 7 minutes injury time but I actually thought it was a good chance for Everton to nick it.

Well done Everton. Played some nice football as well. kept it the floor a lot of the time.
