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

[Brett Angell Delight]

Could make it an indirect free kick unless it's deliberate.

Define deliberate. Apart from defenders “saving” it on the goal line, I’d argue you’ll never see a deliberate handball.

 

[BigBlueConk]

hoping they run out of steam. One or both James Mcs will be replaced for a similar player. Carlo just needs to get it right tactically in the second half. Doucoure will be key and I think he’ll get more space in the 2nd half

Yeah he brings on Milovetic is it? The one who never misses pens and take the free kicks.

Roy Hodgson is looking rough. Also, he looks like a pensioner watching the game on the telly.

 

[lungo]

He’s done well bringing the ball out and playing forward passes hasn’t he?

But defending corners, basically his job, not so good. With Keane and Pickford it is hopeless!

 

[KaiserEFC]

The pundits are moaning because Everton are doing fine. They can’t accept it.

No they’re not? We are and have been getting plaudits for our good play and good players.

 

[Mozza1987]

Looking at the replay of their goal again it's probably the speed that beats Pickford. Woeful marking, free header.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Feel like we'll need atleast 1 more goal in this to get the 3 points.

Wish they would keep Digne on free kicks aswell lads got a diamond of a free kick on him.

 

[Khalekan]

What did you think of Richys run up Dave? Are we mad about that one too?

If Richy is now our designated penalty taker he better stop that mallarkey.

My heart won’t take it

From the Palace end;
Entertaining game. Everton the better all round side. Palace disjointed at the back. Suspect Carlo picked out Mitchell for some early pressure given his relative inexperience. Eze & Townsend looking good going forward for us. The rules for penalties are bonkers (just like the one we got against United last week) but they are the rules. Sigh.

Think you lot are in this game, you look like you can score goals this season.

 

[Dutch Toffee]

Roy Hodgson is looking rough. Also, he looks like a pensioner watching the game on the telly.

Yeah, was thinking the same. Maybe time for him to call it a day.

 

[Daz1878]

I think that was a pen - the arm a long way out and it stopped the ball. Would almost certainly have been given against us. Now we've edged back in front, I'd like us to step it up a notch in the 2nd half, but decent game so far.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Penalty was never a pen but the rules are the rules, it’ll go against us at some point soon I’m sure. Bit fortunate to be up, we haven’t created enough so far.

Gomes has been good today, Doucoure needs to step it up though, been sloppy.

We’ll need to score again here, hopefully the next one.

 

[Joey66]

Hope my forecasting last night a 2-1 winDCl & Richy to score ATM is spot on .,.but 3-1would be nicer

 

[Alan Whittle]

Think you lot are in this game, you look like you can score goals this season.

Next goal....

Agreed, the rules are bonkers.

Interesting second half ahead, your lads have played well making it very hard for us.
