Match Thread Everton v Crystal Palace - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[carolinablue232]

The back four will need to shape up, whoever FL plays...

Think he may revert to a back 5 again with Myko and Iwobi as wing backs and Coleman as the rcb. He’s had some success with that system against teams that don’t sit back, and palace definitely won’t. My guess with who’s probably available would be something like this…

———————Pickford————————
——Coleman——Keane——Holgate——
Iwobi——————————————Myko
———————Allan—Doucs———————
Gray——————————————Gordon
—————————Rich—————————

well tomorrow wouldn’t be any good as it’s the day after but all of our players need to mate who ever we have fit!

Haha for some reason I thought it was tomorrow I'm just eager for the game to happen. Just want to get it over with hopefully it"s a win and we can start agonizing over next season in the premier league.

Can’t see Gray starting he’s been awful the last month or so. I’d even be tempted to play Alli off Richarlison. We need better decision making in the final third. Alli can provide that.

It's time for a genuine reality check..........For us to get a win against Palace or Arsenal at this time seems unlikely !!. It could well be our future will be decided by others , namely Burnley & Leeds also losing, allowing us to stay up. Supporters deserve better than this from players and management. !!

 

[Khalekan]

I was hoping Godfrey wound be fit at the very least. So Colman will have to play alongside Holgate and Lampard will probably have to change the system to a 4-3-3.
We could do with Godfreys pace against Zaha. Coleman worries me at centre back.

I wonder could Doucore do a job at centre back.

 

[Duncan’s Pigeon Loft]

We’ll win. And then we’re safe.

And then let’s all renew and get positive again only to be let down. Would you swap it for the world though? No chance.

COYB

Nothing less than a win. That's all. COYB

Do You know what's occurred to me in the lead up to this game?

We got flogged by Crystal Palace in the FA Cup, and they got beaten by Chelsea in the semi's. We beat Chelsea a couple of weeks ago.

What could've been possible had we got our head right?

 

[Blueclouds]

Terrified about this game. More chance to lose this then win.

We couldn't beat Burnley away
We couldn't beat Watford
Battered by Brentford
Cp is not looking good.

No red card, we would of destroyed Brentford. We had one CB and Frank refused to pack midfield.

I have a horrible feeling that this isn’t going to go our way.

C’mon blues… we’ve got to win.

Aye. We were dominating until that point. At that point, a slapdash defence and a weak midfield meant there was little chance of surviving so long.

Potentially, we’ll have a stronger XI out against Palace with Keane back. A win will push us to safety and some sleep.

This has also been the problem with Gordon, who looks like he has ran out of steam and is producing nothing either from set pieces goals or creating anything

Relying on a young lad who is exhausted nor close to the finished article sums up the position we’re in now and in wider terms. He needs a rest.

But, we can’t afford to give him a rest, and we now have two fixtures in four days. Look at the RS last night with their rotation - it’s sickening.

 

[GoldenToffee]

I can see a full on pitch invasion tomorrow if we lose.
