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

[Spart]

Well another trophy-less season. Now to try and stay up. Great weekend around, not!

That lot, will thrash Forest later and then draw Palace in the semi, nailed on

 

[ProZ]

Getting walloped by Palace, Frank needs to start being savvy and wising up here, how many times is he going to get walloped away playing the same way

 

[Tony1985]

There’s just no words anymore is there, just need to get to the summer still in the league, gut this squad and then hopefully go again next year.

Think am gonna go watch some Lingerie Football instead

First 20 minutes until Townshend injury and loss of momentum were good, apart from the finishing.

But since then we hava managed to make Palace look good. Oh dear

 

[GoldenToffee]

You have to imagine the manager reminded the players before the game they're just 90 minutes away from getting to a cup semi final at Wembley.

And this is how they responded lol

He'll still defend them after the game too.

Really struggled to get excited for the game today and this result just sums up why. Haven’t enjoyed following us for a while now. Far less bothered about us
losing than the lack of fight and p1ss poor performances week in, week out.

Got to the point where before the game I just think to myself " I hope we try and give them a game" it's palace in the 1/4 of the cup and they couldn't even be bothered turning up for that. We're even worse than we were with fsw. Even if Frank keeps us up, what's the point?

That’s 6 goals palace have scored against us this season

7 mate

He has nothing to do with it. The squad is appalling. All on Moshiri and Brands etc.

There are a lot of people to blame for the state of Everton, But none of them force Lampard to use such ridiculous tactics away from home.

 

[Mashtray]

Is this on Lampard?

Yup unfortunately it is.

He is assuming it will click on the pitch with his tactics but a good manager knows how to outsmart his opponent and curb their strengths.

I can count twice already where he should have gone in with a low block.

Our defenders only good at being back to goal and sitting in. Unfortunately.

Alot of people criticize big Sam but he knows what you need to stay up. First you need to make sure you are hard to beat. Then you can try find goals. But make your side hard to beat.

Lampard is trying to change our style mid season. With players incapable of playing the football he wants to play.

It's naive. I do like him. But safety first then try find your style

 

[navidson]

We're an absolute embarrassment

 

[Davideeyore]

Taking the positives from this…let’s us focus on the league between now and the end of the season

That's not a positive. I'd rather we won and as well as appearing in the semis, build confidence. This is just
the pits. Shows again all that is wrong at the football club. Players that don't care.

 

[Ghost Rider]

That richarlison cross , there were 6 red shirts in or around the box.

We had one white shirt , not a single other player busted their arse to get into the box. They had time to as well.

That's why we can't score.

 

[RomanReigns]

We can’t score and we can’t defend lol

 

[Grogu the blue]

He’s got a thing about the 5-2-3 pfffttt
