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

So...what do you think Pickford did wrong today?

Did you watch the match?!

Answer - a lot.

Really don't get this Palace deserve a point garbage...At home and one effort on target

they flatterd to decieve , there goal was there only chance on goal.
Saying that cant see many teams gettig much out of them. looked decent in the midfield, if they got rid of Ward and had somebody with a bit of quile in the middle they would be a match for anybody .
was expecting a hard game and made up we got the win.

I

I forgot about that. Guess I am remembering difficult games against Bournemouth

And the farce at Brighton. We have had dreadful decisions against both of those clubs Away constantly.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Can’t argue with the result, but these dodgy penalty decisions, added with the horror that is VAR, are ruining the game. It was much better when it was just the referees making the decisions.

Jaysus we got a pen, 35 games earlier than normal

VAR loves us. Always has. Good old VAR.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Mitchell is young and a good prospect. Wouldn’t be playing if Van Arnholt was fit. Townsend is on fire this season whereas previously he has been a bit in and out. Delighted so far with Eze.

I think Eze will be a star for you. Great pick up by yourselves. You look set for a very solid campaign this season.

Horrible to watch today but ground it out and got it over the line

 

[BornBlue76]

I'm going to analyse the game stats before voting...too close to call.. reckon will be between Allen, Mina, Digne and Coleman.. maybe Rich

Do you think Townsend has upped his game for a new contract or the system is just suiting him better?

 

[Furey1878]

Palace dominated for 80% of that game, looking really good this season

Not so sure tbh. I have seen so many dreadful decisions over the years, and far too many against the RS is Derbies.

I think, as long as the consistency is there (which it was not last season), then it will be a positive. Seeing the ref go and take a look on the monitor is a big plus imo.

That handball rule is a shocker.

 

[marnie]

These penalty decisions will go for and against every team. We all (fans and teams) just have to suck it up.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

That handball rule is a shocker.

Especially when you see them given one game, then turned away the next!

 

[TGW89]

Could seriously get used to this.
