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

[maccavennie]

made A difference when he came on yesterday I thought

He did mate, he has impacts when asked for 6-7 minutes but when starting he's a massive liability and has been proved time and time and time again

Behind your sofa

Loved my three holidays as a youngster in the Isle of Man. So sad at the horrific fire in Summerland. Lovely people and of course Celts.

Begovic
Coleman Keane Godfrey Kenny
Iwobi Gomes Doucoure
Gordon DCL Richarlison

Even with all the players that we have missing, still some difficult decisions. I narrowly opted for Keane rather than Holgate, and Coleman rather than Mykolenko or Patterson, in the hope that they can show some leadership and experience. I can't believe I'm leaving Gray out of the team, but he could be a very useful impact sub.

Go strongest team available. Then a break til West Ham, a Wembley game would be marvelous day out. It's a free hit, go for it Blues. Just think how disappointed we would be with a 17th place finish and watching Palace at Wembley.

You know what, I'd snatch your hand off for a 17th place finish. Yes Wembley would be nice, but, if it puts survival in jeopardy, then forget the cup, let's go all out for avoiding relegation. If we progress in the cup great, provided we don't risk any of our key players who have been carrying injuries.

Having Godfrey back is immense.

Gomes worries many of us, but so few options. I reckon Gordon could fill in for one game.
He has the legs and energy. Both qualities for CM that Gomes lacks these days.

It might be as you were and the only change being Gomes for Allan. We might even win the appeal! lol

Goes without saying, another tough game. COYB.

RONDON, start Rondon, we have too

Could the same not be said about 95? Had to play the media darlings (Spurs) and then Utd. We came out on top. This club has a way of surprising us. I’d be going all in on this game. If we do go down, a trip to Wembley might be the last big day out we have for some time!

We had no chance of relegation in 95 though

I swear if we win the cup and avoid relegation this year it could be the turning point of the future of us. To go from the second most successful team in England to 4th or 5th in 30 years is mental and an FA cup would be a serious morale boost and friendly reminder of how big and significant this football club is worldwide.

 

[Papa Shango]

Cole, Lampard and the yoof can take this one. Rest the squad.

Can you be fined for fielding a strengthened team?

RONDON, start Rondon, we have too

Would love the Don to score again.

We had no chance of relegation in 95 though

Well not after Royle took over.

Before that we were looking doomed.

 

[Amokachi1995]

I'd go as strong a team as we can muster. It's internationals next week so plenty of time to recover. Also a chance for the likes of Dom and Gray to play there way into a bit of form.

 

[Brownie1]

Looking forward to this. A break from the stresses of the league.
