If Beattie had stayed on the pitch, Everton would have a great chance of winning this game. As it stands, Everton will probably have to battle out a draw. They have no threat going forward now, no support for Bent.
William Gallas is the fucking man, though. Every time I have seen Chelsea this season, he has been magnificent. It's like having a Mikael Silvestre (pace, strength, agility) except with the added bonus of a footballing brain and a keen sense of defensive awareness.
John Terry gets all the praise at Chelsea, and he has had a great season, but for me Gallas is the main man in that defence. He does his own job well, and clears up everything that Terry gets caught flat-footed on. He's always there or there-abouts when a ball manages to get behind them. Great defender.
