OK, i know nothing about the match apart from the result, can someone give me a one liner please? I can't invest any more emotion and time than that.
Or maybe at most a couple of words for each:
why did we lose?
how was it 4-0?
who was our best player?
who was our worst?

Who else did he have though? Davies gbamin Delph , van de beek , Ali , peado all out.

6 midfielders unavailable out of a selection of 8 on the books.

He should have went 4-2-3-1 and tried to pack the midfield out, he should have played Godfrey over Kenny, moved Holgate to RB and played Branthwaite next to Keane.

It’s all hindsight obviously, but playing such an open formation with so many players out, was only going to end one way. I don’t blame Frank for today, as it’s difficult to win any games with that squad, he just didn’t do himself any favours.

I think it’s for the best that Everton are out of the cup now. Imagine these players coasting along at 70-80% trying not to get injured for the semi final. Burnley away is the cup final, I wish that eco warrior had “just stop back 5” written on his charity shop t shirt now

Anybody found out when we lost an fa cup tie by 4 clear goals ? The worst I can remember is 4-1 to Arsenal (2014) and Chelsea in a 4th rnd replay (2006).

We are at the level now where it isn't chelsea or city away we gulp in unison at. Its Palace. When we got the draw I thought it could have been worse but its also an outside chance we could get to the semi.

How do you spend half a billion to not being able to see past Crystal bloody Palace.

Thanks. I think that unlikely!

Townsend’s injury, and the timing of it, killed us stone dead. Took all our momentum because at that point there looked to be only one team playing.

 

[R.Reddington]

7-1 to Crystal Palace in 2 games, Crystal effin Palace.

Embarrassing. Things need to change.

How can we blame a loss on a squad player going off injured?

Embarrassing.

Forest giving a far better account of themselves in the cup.
In fact lets tell it how it is. Forest would prob batter us aswell.
