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

At least we might be competitive in the championship.

Sick of watching week after week of being embarrassed to be an Evertonian.

Means nothing to me if championship is nothing i will ever be proud of

 

[Frenk]

Gray been anonymous since coming on

I think we are beginning to see the real Gray.

Second half we can pull this back. Will be a miracle but we could use one. COYFB!

 

[teppic]

Horrific this

 

[maccavennie]

Shhh not allowed say that with some on here.

He's had a terrible season mate so rightly deserves criticism. He's partly at fault for the 2nd goal because he's one of the 4 players who has a chance to put a foot in.

But he's been the best defender out of a bad bunch of 5 today.

 

[MACCA75]

Nothing really on this game IMO. But defensively things have to change quick for the league because we have one of the worse defenses if not THE worst in the league.

Probably the worst midfield and attack tbh

 

[N.S.N.O.]

Championship defence gets you this.

This backline isn't gonna be good enough in the Championship

 

[lieneverton]

The most damning thing is you don't need to work hard to score v us. The fact we played quite well for half an hour actually makes it worse - Palace haven't needed to do much, just take a couple of very presentable chances and they've won the game.

 

[arbok]

I literally turned it on when Townsend was injured and Everton have been trash since.

 

[Davidoff]

Doesn't help when they can't be bothered to do the basics. No tracking of runners, no positional awareness, no collective pressing. Shameful stuff

 

[dannyboy]

What an absolute disgrace that last 20 minutes were. We played well until we had to do some actual defending.

 

[Gilbert..]

Change formations as many times you want. Doesnt matter because Everton defenders cant do the basics of defending. Im past getting angry now as its been a couple of years.

 

[Amw79]

little passage of play between Gomes and Doucoure there was shocking. To not come out with the ball was unbelievable.

 

[everton fan number one]

Godfrey and Holgate are not premier league players, they never have been and never will be

Godfrey has at least got some unique atheletic abilities, Holgate offers nothing

 

[Blue-J]

Really really disappointing yet again and another shambolic outing after giving the fans some hope on Thursday - FFS Everton

Players look lost. No ideas going forward. Slow on the ball. No movement. No balls being played forward in behind. Look like conceding everytime Palace go forward

At least this is the cup, but if anyone thinks we are getting even one point away from home the rest of this season you're sadly, sadly mistaken
