Crystal Palace v Everton. 9th November @ 15.00.

[Ihaters]

Would like an actual attacking sub for a change..
Not the usual like for like: Mirallas for Deulofeu, Barkley for Osman, Lukaku for Jelavic

Lets take off Barry or McCarthy and bring on Barkley or Jelavic for one of them, actually change formation to something a little more attacking instead of just finishing the same with fresher legs as we normally do.

That being said I think the amount of defensive work CP have got through, they will find anything we do next half really hard to cope with.

We need to step it up second half.

McCarthy looks like he's very short on ideas whenever he gets the ball, you can see him looking for the incisive pass but every time he just turns round and passes it backwards or sideways.

Disgusting performance, the players have gone out thinking that all they need to do is turn up.

Well lads, to win a game you need to actually want it not just simply expect it.

Not sure I have seen Mirallas get a cross in the box in the last 4/5 games. Not hard not to hit a player 10 yards in front of you but he is managing it every time.

 

[Adam Robertson]

good 1st half from palace we just need a goal scorer could be 3 up all to play for 2nd half as Davek said you look tired

CP 29% possession. It seems like they've also had 29 chances on goal.

 

[toffeestillidie]

not good enough tbh, should be behind. jags has been shocking i think. Pienaar good, but need barkley on for osman who really should have scored by now. Just need someone on who will take on more long range efforts, think we've passed it one time too many.

To be fair we've had McCarthy, Pienaar, Osman, and Mirallas all take shots from well outside the box, Mirallas was the only one who looked like scoring. We're just not sharp today, and their keeper seems to be in top form.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

I'll never understand why managers don't start with their best players.

Osman does not deserve to be starting games - Barkley was brilliant until he was rested last week, do must surely be fresh now.

 

[davek]

Echo what's being said on Baines. He's brilliant but he's not looked arsed for a few games.

No doubt he'll have a stormer for Ingerlund though.

 

[deipnosophist]

picks the same team that was dreadful in the first half last week, gues what they were dreadful again, wake up berto you beaut

Agree with this. It is as if RM watches a different game from the rest of us.

 

[Proudtobeblue]

Osman Off, Barkley on........ Mirallas off Deulofeu on,........the payers he should have started with!

 

[Jags..class]

McCarthy looks like he's very short on ideas whenever he gets the ball, you can see him looking for the incisive pass but every time he just turns round and passes it backwards or sideways.

Cos no is making any decent runs or finding any space.

 

[Wat Tyler]

We need Barkley on because not enough players getting in their box.

 

[obc]

if recent history is any sign, we're due for the good half coming up.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Predictable struggle today then. Only going to catch the end of the second half.
