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

[Bluerover]

Amber, blue, amber kit. A team with bottle, a team that looks like you'll have to kill them to beat them and a great manager....wake me up from my 1985 dream.
.

1970 for me and amber. 1985 was more yellow but I get your sentiment.

Everton Change Kits - Historical Football Kits

First time in years I've got genuine optimism about where we're going.

So much so I re-signed up to GOT.

Everton isn't it?

 

[NewRadical]

I'm very pleased with another victory for us, it was hard fought for.

I think the second half showed how we could use some strength in depth, we are unfortunate with injuries to centre backs and lack quality in back up forward player's. I feel Ancelotti was hamstrung to change too much when we were under a bit of pressure.

Doucoure made some important last ditch challenges but I went with Coleman for MotM. It was pleasing to see us tracking down and fighting for the ball, a huge difference from last season.

You can't not be a happy Evertonian at the moment - long may it continue!

*Top of the league and a gritty win against an awkward side

*RS on social media highlighting the penalty decision that usually gets gift wrapped for them every week

*Carlo smooth as ever in his post game interviews

*DCL looking like a number 9 who deserves that gloriously storied shirt

*Seeing your family and mates buzzing in texts and video calls after the match

How boss is it right now

I'm bevvied... Hope you are too.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend blues x

It’s funny you know, I have amber and blue scarf that I wear on away days and even some of our own supporters don’t recognise them as our away colours

Hopefully that fantastic kit changes that

Absolutely....no words needed...just the Gin and BITTER Lemon...

True, but we had no midfield whatsoever and nothing to play for either against a club were a win might have saved their Premier League status.

Last season is but a distant, shambolic memory now.

If we'd drawn today or lost then loads would have been saying we're crap mate and need 6 new players.

The signs look good but we just need to take it game by game.

Andre Gomes for me.

Looking great with enforcers alongside him and Hamez ahead of him.

I would say the last four seasons are a distant, shambolic memory right now

 

[Khalekan]

Your 60's dream. Our greatest (in my opinion) side wore that kit with some distinction.

We wore amber in the ‘68 Cup Final.

(we lost though )

 

[Wat Tyler]

Those Sexy toffees from Walton Way

 

[windymiller]

Winning scrappy is a very good sign, as far as I'm concerned. We'd have dropped points in this game last season.

 

[4737carlin]

Pickford footwork terrible on the goal

 

[Blue 1]

Christ, the difference having an actual midfield makes.

 

[Canuck Darryl]

If you bring in the right manager and he brings in the right players, this happens. Long may it continue.
