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

True actually.. beside all the debate around penalties we are the only team that created more real chances that could/should have been taken.. deserved it for that

I know I'm hard on DCL but we won't get away with it against the top teams

Doucoure MOTM for me, got it for that tackle on Zaha

 

[when i score we riot]

Get in! So relieved and impressed by our game management. Top of the league!

I’ve got a splitting headache after that second half

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

So even without the pen (and it wasn't a pen), I would've counted on us getting another goal

I actually (Blue glasses off) did think it was a pen. He moved his hand to the ball and cut out a pass. It may have been involuntary but that is what he did.

Went with Dom for motm thought the 2nd half did a fantastic job up front holding up the ball and winning freekicks

Lucky today really but we've had some rotten luck the last few years so its about time we got a break. Mina. Comical at the back, would love to have some of what he's on. A wins a win, another 3 points and a fantastic start to the season.

 

[Bob Latchford]

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

that’s why I caveated what I said but anyway I heard your grand-pa was shyte

 

[Howards tipple]

It might not have been our best performance but it is such an important result.

Thats 2 away wins already and confidence will be building.

Superb signings made this window.

Never want this bubble to burst.

Brilliant win

Maybe not deserved, but these are the results on which a good season are built

One game at a time and got to keep on improving but 3 from 3 feels great.

 

[Lelouch]

I'm never watching another Prime game again, My god Ally McCoist and the other lad are garbage.

 

[Blue Shoes]

Via the rules it was probably a penalty

The rules are bollocks though

Yeah, you cant really blame the ref, pretty much anything this season that hits the hand is going to be a pen. I was banging on about united getting so much help and then we get a handy 2 points from the wrong decision, which I'll take, would much rather us win on merit though.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Their running/pressing was amazing.

Wonder if they’ve had a bunch of recent asthma diagnoses?

 

[Jim Hopper]

I’ve got a splitting headache after that second half

Ha like watching the Everton of last season that second half. Just think we used to have put up 90 mins of that....

Three away wins on the spin if you include our final league game last season.

Last time we won two away league games on the bounce was August/September 2016 (WBA/Sunderland).

Last time we won three was March/April 2014 (Newcastle/Fulham/Sunderland).

Get in.

Last time we won four was November/December 1985 (Ipswich/Southampton/WBA/Coventry) - bookmark this!
