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

Excuse me but...

Why have we gone back to a back 5?

Why was Begovic dropped after a good game?

Why is Townsend in over Iwobi?

Sorry Frank but I do not understand.

Begovic isn’t even in the squad, don’t know why?

5 at the back, is literally Wolves again, if they score early, we have zero pace. I like Lampard, but his tactics are questionable sometimes.

i have had a lovely weekend in the sun, not to late for Everton to ruin it.

I hope he rams it down my throat at full-time but I am not understanding today.

 

[Houghty19]

Maybe Kenny Sansom who played for both clubs

Yeah that would bring balance to the present palace love in going on at the moment. Are these in the top four or something? Just seems the way they're talking about them they must be.

Looks like Begovic injured mate as he's not even on the bench

Glad to see there is neutrality on ITV !

Ex blues are to embarrass to go on tele to talk about this team ?

Begovic is ill

Is this itv or Crystal Palace tv because I can’t tell the difference

I always find it weird the way the media seem to hate the club so much but if any of the fans start with anti Kenwright stuff they jump to defend him.

Or top it off with a majestic 5-0 win

Just watching ITV....I thought C. Palace were playing us ??? Oh hang on...apologies, we just got mentioned then network went to adverts.

Just don't get the 5 at the back approach when you have no back up defenders.

Play the kids rather than burning out the likes of Gordon and Coleman.

I think its something to do with our CBs being dreadful and not wanting to be out of the contest within 30 mins

 

[Nymzee]

It's actually a bit nuts how much better their starting XI is compared to ours considering in pre-season they had about 10 players.

A team for defeat last four will be the dread 3 v an other - The league is more important atm ... a win would be nice & a day pout at cost for the fans - we are playing for pens imo.......

Begovic is not in the squad due to illness - he's not well. Lampard has just stated that he'd have actually started if he was available for selection.

The back five I suspect is due to a combination of missing Allan in the middle and how poor we've been away from home, especially with our defence.

Iwobi wasn't great on Thursday although he did get the goal. I think it's unfair that he's not started, but let's see at the end of the mathc.

Coleman playing another 90 mins..hmm think that's a mistake. Its a cup game so why not give Patterson a go at wingback
