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

Good to grind that out... Palace very decent. Not a pretty watch for much of the second half, but good to see us seeing out a game like that, and again it shows a much-improved mentality.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Not true btw

Haha. I knew you’d be along.

Good man Seamus.

Real MOM

 

[SpongeBob brown shoes]

Thing is...they didn't do enough to get an equaliser and we also could've had another.

Exactly, for all of palaces work rate in the second half I don't remember Pickford needing to make a decent save, we defended really well as a team against a fitter faster side, good result that

 

[Bob Latchford]

Just like away to spurs we nullified their best player and despite a few shaky moments I think we were the better team and created the better chances. Another away win - 9 points from 3 games + 5 goal difference. Ill take that

That ref gave us the pen give us did all in the 2nd half - DCL was a great target man in that 2nd half held the ball up very well that's the part of his game fans don't notice ..., Rhico played his part as our midfield dropped deep in the 2 me half ....another win COYB ......

 

[Zatara]

Any idea when was the last time we won the first 4 league games?

Brighton next league game so fingers crossed.

 

[LABlue2]

So important... it’s really the number of wins that matter at the end of the day, staying competitive with a lot of draws is not the way to move up the league

 

[Ollie d]

The last twenty minutes were awful but three games in and three wins is good, especially two away from home. After some of the dirge dished up after lock down I didn't think we would be in this position.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Doucoure MOM for me. His reading of the game and ability to break up attacks and get us going the other way is something we’ve sorely missed. In a tight game like that, those players make the difference.

 

[Paul Rideout]

Gave it to Allan, whenever they were in the final third he was there

 

[lungo]

He just didn’t come on and get up to speed, 3 or 4 misplaced passes - we was very good midweek in the cup (albeit v Fleetwood)

Fleetwood are great side. My grand-pa could get a game against them. Ridiculous stuff. The guy looks like 10 kilos overweight!

 

[Jim Hopper]

In all fairness they did batter us second half but how many shots did they actually get off on goal? Not many?

Eze was their best player by light years, was more impressed with him than Zaha.

 

[heatmeiser]

Almost gave MOTM to Mina just for that wonderful one inch diving header into the back of Ayew but had to go for Richy.

Tireless all over the pitch, always tracks back, always an outlet, wins endless free kicks and always a danger going forward. Fabulous player.

 

[GwladysBlue]

What a win that is! Big teams will go there and lose this season.
