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

[croatian blues]

There are some teams that make me nervous 'cause we always play awful against them and we have pretty bad score. Palace is not one of them, think today it will be pretty nice. Win or most probabley x (with bitter taste)

Hmmm.

I know what you mean - I'm not scared of Palace.

However, we have to fix the things that went wrong last week because Palace have better players than Diangana and Pereira doing their counter-attacking.

They'll let us have loads of the ball. The onus will be on Gomes especially to get forward and link the play as I reckon they'll put two men on James.

It'll be a very similar game to last week in that we have loads of possession, but defensively Palace are much more resolute and going forward they have players who can do more damage.

We're the better side on paper though and should have enough to get it done. However, we have drawn all of our last 3 games there too.

Nothing worse than a kiss with a bitter taste......

...just lumped my whole bookie a/c balance on us to win...stand to make $500.
Life's too short to beat about the bush....and yes, I get the irony...many of you knowing my brazilian preferences...

I'm fine if they want to double up on James... 1, he's loads better than anybody at Crystal Palace and 2 it means more space for others.

Yep, which is fine we just have to capitalise on it and not get caught upfield, is what I meant!

Dunno if it’s been mentioned but the game isn’t free to air on Prime, you have to have a Prime membership to watch it

 

[Blue Shoes]

I think the game you’re thinking of when Bellamy rounded the keeper to score was the 1-1 during the season we finished 4th. Carsley scored a free-kick for us.

I think I'm imagining the wales v italy goal, except we were Italy. I'm not watching it again, that's for sure ha i think I'd already switched the TV off before the replay to see li tie's impact tbh.

Even take the trail then cancel it if people watch via that Prime way

CRUSH @Alan Whittle and his cohorts, strike first, strike hard, no mercy!!




Sorry Alan, feeling v tribal today

Do your thang bro. (But stop watching re runs of “Con Air” late Friday night huh?)

 

[Jeff Jones]

Yeh I’ve got Prime I just wont be home till Sunday so hopefully it stays on.

What does stay on mean? Can't you record it?

 

[Alan Whittle]

They will have someone following in Townsends long shots early on hoping Pickford makes a mistake.

Mmm. Don’t bank on it.lol

Record on Prime? Don't think so.

Just read a mad stat there that two thirds of the games played in the Prem so far have been away wins..

Perhaps goes some way to proving the effectiveness of having a home crowd behind the team, as well as the fact that obviously the stat could be skewed somewhat by the fact that there hasn't been a single draw yet..

Think we saw the impact in the cup. The prem teams weren't even that strong, but they were all smashing 5 and above away at lower league teams. Crowd create that atmosphere to level the playing field, without that the prem teams waltzed through the games.
