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

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

he looks like a old lady with dementia

 

[Terrarian]

Richarlison looked offside from the header

I've not seen it from an angle to have a opinion mate, I'll keep an eye out.

It’s a pen. By the letter of the law, and contact with the hand under the sleeve is a pen.

It’s a ridiculous rule, there will be hundreds of Pens given this year due to the rule, but ultimately it struck his arm.

Not to mention his arm isn’t in a natural position and it changes the direct of the ball. Not sure what McCoist and that utter idiot Aluko are moaning about?

Rules are rule. We’ll get sting this season, as will every team.

 

[Alan Whittle]

No start next week haha

I meant next goal vital. You score; that’s it.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Kevin Friend is good. He looks like he could dish out some slaps if required too.

 

[Blue Shoes]

Got to make the most of that gift and not let them back in. Usually when we get a gift the ref likes to even it up. It was never a pen and he's had a really poor game, feel for palace.

 

[Frenk]

Definitely not been great. Maybe need a tweak in shape - we seemed to switch to a 4-2-3-1 at the end of the half with Doucoure pushing up high. He's been poor on the ball today.

Midfield hasn't quite clicked but we've looked dangerous in the final third - especially when James has got on it.

It’s early days and it will take time to gel together fully with the new players, but what an impact those new players have had.

Cant watch, how are we looking?

 

[Zatara]

Can’t fault the performance so far really. All of them are playing well considering Palace are working very hard and have some talented players.

Come on blues make it 9 points from 9 and 5 wins on the bounce.

MASSIVE second half.

Have to score first this half...more goals in this.

Looking for Richarlison to kick up a gear here.

 

[Jim Hopper]

Doucoura is having a mare of a game. So many poor passes.

He’s looked off the pace.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

2 away PL wins in a row? Surely not...

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

Agreed, the rules are bonkers.

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

Palace will give a lot of teams a hard time playing with that energy and press.You would have swamped us last season.

 

[peteblue]

I like the way we are at half time and there’s not one player I would want replaced......

 

[kenada_blue]

I know I'm biased cos he plays for us...but as a footballer Hameth is pure sex

I've not seen it from an angle to have a opinion mate, I'll keep an eye out.

Might not have been but that was my initial reaction as I wondered if that was why it had been given myself
