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

Hahah. That period of play sums it all up.

Brilliant.

3 centre backs up, so Gordon passes the free kick to their first man like a little girl. 5 seconds later, the defence is playing tiki-taka football on the edge of our box, which results in Pickford kicking it directly out of play. lol

All involved in the Patterson and Mykolenko deals take a bow. Iwobi and Gordan currently in those positions and Kenny, Coleman, Godfrey all preferred there. Needed ready to go players in Jan and couldn’t have got it any worse.

 

[banno]

Gordon has gone to pieces

 

[Saint Domingo]

Players are so sloppy, so many over hit aimless crosses

 

[Fansince1988]

Bit better but tbh it probably to little to late

 

[TheNinja]

Easiest team in the league to play against. Just man mark is because we have no movement to create space, then counter attack as we leave gaps everywhere.

Anyway, F1 coverage is starting...

 

[blueconverse]

That looked that football then. Only 76 mins to see it

 

[allen]

We’ve improved since Iwobi has come on. But we’ve left ourselves an awful lot to do.

 

[Thomasc]

You should of ,you want us to go down aswell why don't you bet on that

I just fail to see the point of Everton in the PL any more. If you can tell me what the point is I might change my mind, so go ahead, have a go.

Like. Look at doucoure when that ball comes in. A yard offside. Brain dead man.

He has been so poor, when he gets the ball it takes him 2 to 3 seconds to control it and look for a pass, nowhere near good enough at this or any level.

This isn't the worst we've played all season but overall I just don't understand how we've gotten so bad as a team. This team last season was flying and I'm pretty sure first place around Xmas time. Yes it dipped off the end of the season but you'd expect more from us than what we're seeing this season. We aren't even threatening Palace really who let's face it are a lower mid table team even with their improvement under Viera.

we had one trick and teams figured us out

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Why’ve we wasted half hour of the second half before creating a couple of chances?

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Not seeing the fuss about Gordon. If he wasn’t a Scouser, he wouldn’t get the slack he is cut.
Terrible today.

 

[atypicalusername]

Godfrey turned again. Keane well in with the block!

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Worst possible outcome really, barring an epic turnaround. Knock to confidence and another serious looking injury. Oh yeah, knocked out the cup too. But I'm meh about that in the grand scheme.
