Feared the worst with Delph and Gomes in midfield tbh.

Gomes has been alright to be fair. Its Delph & Doucoure that's looked dodgy.

I said to my dad before the game this is a coin flip match. We’re about even to these. We should be way ahead of them, but our recruitment has been shocking.

Pardews comment on Gray “well they’ve bought some awful players Everton, so they were bound to get one right”

 

[ste d' indica]

Should change our name to Everton Walking Club.

I will drive Holgate to Scunthorpe when required. They are about his level.

 

[Sennott Street]

Palace not breaking a sweat to get in our box

Jesus Christ, nerve on him.

GK: Pickford > Guiata
RB: Coleman > Ward
LB: Godfrey > Mitchell
CB: Keane = Tomkins
CB: Holgate < Guehi
CM: Gomes = Gallagher
CM: Doucoure > Kouyate
CM: Delph = Hughes
W: Gray = Zaha
W: Townsend > Ayew
ST: Richarlison > Edouard

Looking at the two elevens, you’d say that Guehi for them is the only improvement in any of the positions.

Yet Palace are the one team that’s playing the football, more possession, creating more chances, more touches in the opposition box, and now 1-0 up.

Why are we choosing to play in this way against a substandard team?

Think you're massively overrating most of our players here to be fair.

Coleman just ball watching. Stupid fool.

 

[Nymzee]

Prime Barcelona here.

Gomes has been alright to be fair. Its Delph & Docoure that's looked dodgy.

Meh.

It's the pace mate.

Gomes the most dribbled past player in Europe over a full season.

That, and pace of him and Delph just made me lose optimism.

 

[Dixieslaces]

Holgate should be plying his trade at Haig Ave

 

[Wat Tyler]

Would genuinely take 17th.

 

[kenada_blue]

No one wants the ball from defence.

 

[perth_blue]

Jesus Christ, nerve on him.

It's true to be fair.
