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

[Zatara]

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

Tough game and one we would have lost previously,beside the goal they never really troubled us,Allan MOTM for me does the dirty stuff,always available for a pass,tries to get it forward and doesnt shut up,plus looks evil even when he smiles

Thought Allans performance today was even better than the spurs game.

Proper 'in the trenches' game from him today...no one seemed to get past him.

Doucoure also top notch but his first half meant the award goes to Allan.

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

Another goal saving tackle to stop a fast counter. The perfect ointment for our lack of pace at the back.

Thought he did very well today overall. He pops up and wins possession back high up the pitch quite regularly. It's not as flash as a defense splitting pass but the outcome is very similar. That ability will create a lot of goals for us.

On another note, what's going with Keane's passing? Some of the balls he played were superb. Looks like he's been doing extra training with Hamez.

If the ref gave the pen in the first place, there's no way VAR would have disallowed it after the fact, so what's the beef?

 

[Paul Rideout]

Anyone else had a nose bleed yet ??

get off the beak lad, it’s not even dark yet! lol lol

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Doucouré

Doh! Seems so obvious now. Yeah. Good game. A couple of stray passes in the first half but he was always working.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Classy from you as usual Alan.

Tough game, especially the second half, wish you the best for the rest of the season especially when you play the neighbors

Gosh, Ta.
We’ll have a right go as ever.

Got to say that I have been massively unimpressed with amazon today.

poor commentators, poor studio pundits and the interviewer asked absolutely nothing questions, DCL was put off by the questions cos they were just bland

At least we got to see us go top of the league.

Sorry, I must have missed the memo, but, who's 'the Duke'?

Doucoure mate - that's what I'm calling him anyway!

 

[BiggyRat]

get off the beak lad, it’s not even dark yet! lol lol

Mate! It's 2am!!!!

Goodnight all!

thought richy was poor today tbh .. worked hard and scores the pen but he was lacking quality today with his passing and decision making. I went for Alan the guy is a little terrier ... very good player

It could have been one of 7 to be honest. Not a spectacular performance but ground out and the only real danger was from set pieces.

Can't agree that Richy was poor today, but isn't it great that we are struggling to pick MOTM this season for positive reasons!

Sorry, I must have missed the memo, but, who's 'the Duke'?

Brands’s fault . Carlo : Get me good players with simple names like James and Allan , so GOT can spell them with out having to resort to silly nicknames “
Brands : “ This Doucoure guy is quite good....”

 

[zukai12_]

I know it’s a not a happy hunting ground. The next hoodoo is to get a win on the south coast.

Beat Southampton away last year, so not such a long time ago

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Haha Woy lol

 

[Dunc's elbow]

Went with James as MOM for the sexy stuff, but Allan and Doucouré (in 2nd half) both solid. Keane had a good game too.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Roy is right tbf

Neither the one they got or the one given against them is a penalty
