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

[Bristol Blue]

I don’t see the point in 2 keepers on the bench, surely 1 of those spots could be filled by Dobbin

Glad to see there is neutrality on ITV !

Not got it on yet…I expect they will be talking about Liverpool first

 

[Saint Domingo]

Would rather see an academy player get another go than see two keepers on the bench.

 

[Bluerobins]

It's an old fashioned concept which made sense once but should be scrapped now.

Especially with the transfer windows. You can't recruit players to win a game anymore

 

[ToffeeTim]

Shoot on sight at Butland

Don’t worry about the pundits. People go on like it’s a massive conspiracy. Same with Shearer the other night.He didn’t say anything which wasn’t correct.
Whoever the pundits are, it doesn’t affect the players on the pitch.
Some people are easily offended

5 at the back.... never works for us, probably the 1st decision which will cost us this game.

Gomes and Doucoure v Kouyate, Gallagher and Eze. My prediction is one of them will get spare at the edge of our box and score, Gallagher probably.... Why cant we go 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 again.

Back 3/5 never works for us, disappointed by Franks formation here.... Not so confident now

See what happens, still want us to win, COYFBB

Insanity is trying the same thing over and over and hoping for a different result. What is this formation and lineup. You just look at it and know that Everton will lose

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Kenny again, oh dear ..

 

[Johnny Barton]

Got a feeling the only good thing about today will be seeing Laura Woods

You're right that it doesn't affect the players on the pitch but they've picked wright for his links to palace so why not one of our ex players to give balance?

Fully agree, it probably came in when there was no transfer windows.

Some of you lot are embarrassing. Yes I am nervous. Yes it's not a great selection, although not sure we have many more options. But get behind the team. We are one game away from Wembley.

Not very hopeful looking at the team.

Formation clearly influenced by Allan’s suspension and there not being any other centre midfielder available otherwise he’d be in there.

Just switched on itv coverage,as usual they have dragged some bird in from the local salon to front the show, accompanied by 2 cockneys,one a Palace legend.
