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

[banno]

Our defence and midfield are incapable of playing the high game. Can only see our way of playing away from home is to stay deep with midfield emphasis of staying close to the defence. We have the likes of Gray/Gordon that can try and spring attacks. Apart from set pieces most of our goals are conceded due to being caught too high up the pitch and lack of effort to get back so I can only see us being condensed and shutting shop up but with a plan of counter attack rather than a hoof clear

 

[WilliamPerry]

Only good thing from this is we didn’t play (and lose to) Watford away in the league like originally planned .

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

The boy has been average...Kenny has been poor.

Coleman kills every attack how Patterson isnt starting at this point is insane.

Keane starting ahead of Branthwaite. May as well kick off 1 or 2 down.

I agree with all of this

 

[Nymzee]

Even Yannick has left us

I didn't think this set of players could embarrass the club any further - but they have reached new lows. A shocking collection of untalented buffoons. Play the reserves. I've seen enough of these frauds who can't do the basics. How they became professionals is a genuine mystery. Lampard needs to take a lot of the blame. Team selection and tactics are hopeless. The worst defence in the league. Triangle training sessions have scrambled their heads. Holgate and Godfey are barely non league standard. Gomes is finished, Kenny will never be good enough, Doucoure is clumsy and too negative. Richy is not a 9. Gray disappears. The only one with credit is Gordon for his effort - but he's a kid who never has any end product. Even Pickford is lucky to be selected. Sell them all.

With regards to how many times Colman passed backwards, I'm not too sure, but, I'll tell you what, he passed to a player wearing a white jersey more than most of the others. I agree with you, he needs to be replaced, but, he played well today, no need to get on his back after a game where he was clearly nowhere near being one of our worst performers.

Apparently is all down to Seamus, despite him stopping a near certain goal for the second game in a row. There's no pleasing some haters.

Coleman did 2 great things today.

1: The ball to Richarlison.

2: The last ditch tackle when Mateta dilly dallied.


However, he also looked backwards whenever he had the ball.

Prime example was when he found himself in a perfect crossing position when we had 5+ players in the box.

Remember what he did?

I dont even know what the word is for that...

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

Can we have a none of the above option for motm?

You don't have to vote for anyone if you want to be curmugeonly H19

 

[Abertonian]

Have a defence and gk that keep a clean sheet for the first time in forever, don't change it for the next game. That is all.

 

[bcblue1878]

First time I've ever switched an Everton game off early, when the 3rd goal went in.

I went out for a walk at that point ? ???

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

I agree with all of this

I disagree with both of you.

Don't worry i haven't because none of them deserved a vote.

That perfect crossing position when he had 3 Palace players surrounding him? Yes that would have led to a goal - a breakaway goal for Zaha probably.

So what's your gripe? The fact that some people thought certain players did enough to merit a vote?

 

[ToffeeTim]

I thought we would lose, but the manner of the loss hurts a lot. These defenders are a disgrace. These players are gutless and we saw them give up again.

There should be no way back for the majority of them, but this club hasn't the guts to do what palace did and have a complete overhaul.

Was that another time?

Im talking about when he received the ball in 5 yards of space and instantly turned backwards.
