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

[ForeverBlue92]

Smh at the common thread running through players ForeverBlue92 sees as "quick and direct". It's 2020 ffs

We'll see on the weekend - I bet Utd fans were thinking this would be a walk in the park and they were lucky to not have been hit for more than 3.

Our defence/keeper are currently our weak spots and one WBA player with pace had us flapping at the back.

Palace have about 4-5 quick players up top and out wide. Laugh them off at your peril when we have 31 year old Coleman at fullback and two tugboats in defence. Im not even gonna get into Pickford.

A clean sheet here - how realistic after last nights GK display that is I do not know - and the job is near done. We have eight goals spread across our three strikers now after four games, we also look very good from corners and crosses of all hues. A goal winning margin for me. 2-1 to Everton.

were are you getting the cup game is monday from ? think it will be wednesday
Actually just seen your answer above, games are always done like the week beginning before the changes

No West Ham play Wolves in the evening the Leicester game (at midday) is the following week.

Just picked up the fixed odds from Hills.I was a little surprised to find we are odds(5/6) on to win given they have maximum points as well,have just won at United and in general our away form has been crap for years.

 

[Furey1878]

Think this will be a draw

 

[Davidoff]

Could do without a Pickford masterclass here, we can't keep out-scoring his errors

 

[Paul Rideout]

This will be a very tricky game. The fact that we’re away might work in our favour.

if there were fans in the ground I’d say it defo would was in our favour.

2-1 to us, Zaha to score and be boss.

Will deffo be a very tough game. Big test of the ‘new’ Everton. Would take a point but if we could win it would be a great result.

They’re a better team than most people realise I reckon, and Hodgson is deserving of more praise than he gets, but think we should have too much for them.

An early goal will be big, they’ll no doubt wanna be soaking up all the pressure we put on and hit us on the counter with their pace. Think our midfield 3 need to be a bit more careful in not making themselves vulnerable and leaving gaping holes behind them (like WBA’s opener last week).

Confident we can find a goal or two, with the pressure we’ve been putting on teams even if we’re struggling to get that breakthrough we have the ability to force opposition into mistakes, can see us winning a lot more penalties this season.

 

[Jeff Jones]

I'm not as bothered about Pickford as some of you. He doesn't always stuff up, and if our defence can keep things tight we should score enough to win this.

There'll be days when it doesn't go so well, but there are goals in this team and we'll see that more often than not.

Difference is mate that we played high up the pitch against West Brom, which was the correct tactic. It'll be different at Palace, probably similar to how we set up at Spurs.

1-1. Jedinak penalty and Niasse overhead kick.
