Think that 94 game was the last time Place beat Everton at home

Yes. Thanks for that.

 

[Bullens Rd]

Don't think you can call either of them wide players really. They both have shown themselves better centrally, haven't they?

Should only be including one of them on the bench.

We drew 0-0 last season

2-5, Shirley?!?

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

I've done a match up, man for man. Turns out we're better than them in 87.3% of the pitch, considerably better in 42.15%.
They are going to take an almighty beating. My formula suggests an Everton win by a margin of between 2 and 4 goals.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Was reading there is a lot of good odds on a high scoring match here. 3.5 goals in the game at least..... I cannot see it myself. I'd gladly take a point here just as I felt about spurs who were surely a bigger test than these. 0-0 would even be ok presuming Pickford needs to push back on his critics and push down on his demons. At some point in the next few months our 'stars' are going to have off days......

Imre Varadi scores Everton’s second goal against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, London in this First Divison game played on the 28th February 1981.

It'll be interesting to see if he moves James inside and plays Iwobi or Walcott on the right to stop Zaha exploiting the space. Ayew is tricky too. Not too confident we'll get a win here.

When has Walcott or Wobi ever stopped someone like Zaha, anyone for that matter, exploiting the space...despite their intentions.
Would have Allan hounding Zaha and Doucoure central, with late runs into the box for the big fella. Might have a fiver on him come to think of it.

Relegated that season.

4 wins out of 4

Hopes are high

Excited to watch on Saturday

Palace 2 v Everton 1

It's what Everton do to us, build us up to knock us down.

 

[Tommy Pistachio]

Tough game against an in form Palace. We looked iffy defending against pace against West Brom and I expect Palace (Zaha!) Will look to exploit that.

Still backing Everton but think there might well be a few goals!

Palace 2 - 3 Everton

Really think this is our first test of the season

Even if we win the next 17 games on the bounce I’m sure we’d still be saying this before the next game.

Really think this is our first test of the season

Think all the league games are tests to be honest. Don't see how spurs away wasn't a real test given our recent record there.
