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

[brieverton]

Look dangerous offensively
Look vulnerable defensively
Have the front three to make the difference
That's it

Good half against a side with their tails up. Tough second half coming up, but feeling pretty confident we can build on the lead.

Has Siggy been teaching James to take free kicks

 

[DanB90]

James with an Ossie special.

 

[JLW]

Good half just one mistake from there corner, Dacoure been poor

 

[bluejohn66]

I got some wedge on Digne to score anytime, let him take them freekicks not that waste of space !! lol

 

[TheBigIguana]

This half shows why you need something other than penalties for close handballs. My vote is indirect free kicks. Obviously the controversy will just shift to what is a pen and what is indirect but I think it'll be an easier call overall.

 

[Sassy Colombian]

Good first half. We knew this wasn't going to be an easy match but the team has played well!

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Amazon has the worst commentary of the lot. Writing an angry email to Bezos as we speak.

 

[Tony1985]

Decent half, once again Rodriguez just stands out with his utter class. Still can’t believe he plays for us.

 

[Jim Hopper]

Need to step it up.

I don’t think Palace have particularly done much when they’ve got the ball.

We can definitely get at them more here.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

James really influential in the last few minutes here. Gets a ridiculous amount of time on the ball. Palace lads standing off him afraid of being embrassed. This lad oozes class.

 

[Zezti]

Really tough match. Palace are dangerous but we're playing well.
The handball... they profitted from one last week, so this is that 'it all evens out' thing at work.

 

[matty1878]

We need a 3rd here and to be more defensive as such

 

[Zeitgeist]

Tough game this. Palace are solid, need to come out fighting would love a doucoure goal
