Crystal Palace v Everton. 9th November @ 15.00.

Jags poor, Distin poor, Mccarthy pass forwards ffs, we desperatly miss gibbo, someone to play the quarter back role spraying it about with pace and looking forward, Barry trys now and a gain but him and mac in the middle is to static.

this could be a long disappointing season

Did you think it would be any thing else ? No investment no future

 

[Rook]

I put it to the room Lukaku is getting found out and Mc Carthy is an also ran

He scored 15 last year. Even Messi doesn't score every single match.

We were poor but Palace defended well. If only Dustbin was ready for that deflection.

Palce are a premier league side. If that performance was against somene like West Brom or similar it would of be classed as unlucky. We have a problem with our fanbase who expect anyone lower half of the table to be easy pickings. Peeps need to get real and should know any game is going to be tough.

Even when we play at home against a lower half team the atmosphere is flat because people sit back and expect us to tonk them yet it never happens. If we score against similar teams its like polite applause as if we have been reigning champions for the last 10 years. Get real Everton fans we are not a top team so don't expect victories every time we play.

I'd rather drown myself in piss than consider a point vs that palace team a good result, tbf mate.

Just not enough players in attacking midfield position to link up. The result isn't THAT bad today, but the manner in which it came about is.

...way too static. I could set up a tent, get the boat in the water and have a good fishing session whilst they are building an attack

Everyone saying we don't have a chance for top 4, and generally I agree. But I don't know, this is a weird season with all of the transition and changes with so many of the teams that typically finish above us. I think this year, more than most others, is one where a team can sneak into the top 4/5 that wouldn't normally have a chance to.

If we can't hope, what have we got??

Worrying that a rubbish team like this chooses to shut up shop and we cant put them away.

We're kidding ourselves if we think we have the players to challenge for the CL. Maybe not even the EL. I've said since the start of the season we'd have a good first season with a new manager by getting top7/8. We can expect that, I think. No depth, not enough quality.

well said

Mirallas was piss poor today, WTF was that pass that could have easily played Lukaku in on goal? But no, he totally spazzes it like an utter fukin mong!

Non blue-tinted specs ratings. Neg rep away bullies.

Howard - 8 - Made one great save and aside from untroubled.
-
Coleman - 6 - Boring game. Defensively OK, but shocking decisions in the final third and terrible crossed.
Jagielka - 5 - Some typical **** passing, tried to gift Palace a goal and general sloppy play as has been the case for weeks.
Distin - 7 - Decent game by Disty, as usual.
Baines - 6 - Awful set pieces all game, crossing woeful, looked a shadow of the player we know and love. Head turned?
-
Mirallas - 5 - Has been awful this season and was poor again today, rightfully subbed off.
Osman - 6 - Didn't do anything pathetically wrong as he usually does, but just isn't very good.
McCarthy - 6 - Average game, was very annoying towards the end tiki-taka in the 94th minute when in perfect position to cross.
Barry - 7 - Solid game and probably our best player.
Pienaar - 6 - Off form, the Baines partnership isn't working and to me doesn't look fit.
-
Lukaku - 6 - Barely had a kick all game. If we aren't gonna bother crossing to him or put it into his feet he might as well stay at home.

SUBS:
Barkley - 7 - World's apart from Osman in terms of talent and fitness, but didn't really have a big impact on the game.
Deulofeu - 5 - Thought he was poor tbh.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Coleman and Baines haven't been at it at all recently. Nor has Kev, and Lukaku the last two games poor. Essentially, all our best players out of form.

We do. There's absolutely no question at all of it. We have them and we also have numbers for the first time ever. Nearly ALL of them are playing like c*nts.

Manager's fault. We'll learn a lot about Roberto in the derby this year. He has an international break to get into them and sort them out.

 

[Sozzled]

McCarthy and Barry... Two sitters with little creativity, still not convinced.
Lukaku looking isolated like Jelavic has been for two seasons... Look out.

We can't seem to bury these teams under Martinez or Moyes. Palace, Cardiff, West Brom,Norwich all teams we should be taking full points from.

Looking forward to Jagielka and Baines pulling their fingers out for Woy again in the next two games and come back down again for our next fixtures.
