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

[Bob Latchford]

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

chatting away to himself, picking his nose, watching the match - it’s my bucket list for my 70s

 

[Lelouch]

Cant watch, how are we looking?

average

 

[royvernon39]

Coleman involved again in the first goal. Looks really keen.

Gomes, Richarlison and James good.

Doucoure, Pickford not so much.

 

[Joey66]

The reds got a worse one v Leeds nothing said.......

 

[Medallo]

OK, what the hell with the commentators. I'm watching it here in NY on NBC and they just came back from commercial to show the handball again and made a comment about how "doubtful" it was. IT WAS A PENALTY!!!!! Que HP gente para quejarse.

 

[lungo]

Andy Gray saying Pickford should have saved their goal.
I think so too.
Not at fault 100% - scorer should have been picked up from the corner.

Pickford is playing it safe now. He does stay on the line and blames the defenders. Easy peasy. Keane on the other side isnt able to leap over a 1 euro piece.

 

[Terrarian]

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

Ah got ya. It's a tight game next goal is crucial

 

[Death]

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.

I dono lad. Not only was his hand out like an aeroplane his hand went towards ball to get to the balls flight path.

 

[Amw79]

Wow. Amazon are really going for that penalty aren’t they, cos we’ve finally got one.
penalty laws have been a joke for ages.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Does doesn’t he, even his celebration was typical of it! Do like him though I must admit

He is the best Liverpool manager in my lifetime. Had humility and was dignified. No chance he was lasting at that hell zone.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

It’s a slippery slope. They have to be consistent with it. If it cuts out those Christ pose hands reaching stonewall pens, I can be persuaded.

 

[carolinablue232]

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

My heart won’t take it

I was surprised he was on it tbh. Really thought it would be James or Digne. Quality finish in the end though.

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

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

He started poorly but I think he’s growing into the game. palace have expended a lot of energy. I think there will be more space for our players in the latter stages.

 

[aglee]

I'm not sure how long it will take before I watch James Rodriguez playing in an Everton shirt without thinking - wow! James Rodriguez plays for us!! I suspect his contract will be due for renewal before that time.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Via the rules it was probably a penalty

The rules are bollocks though
