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

[Bigduke1234]

Worst thing about this is palace haven’t got out of 1st gear

Worst thing is any momentum from the win at Newcastle has just been blown away again, 1 step forward then 2 back. If we stay up, I hope lampard is ruthless in the summer.

 

[Frenk]

Maybe because Coleman kills every attack with his stupid cutbacks? Gordon has been OK though

Gordon has been ok but he needs to stop trying to be Ronaldo.

Anyone saying at least we can concentrate on the league can do one. It's the quarter final of the FA Cup and there's 4000 Evertonians who got up at silly o'clock to cheer these wasters on.

Being out of the cup won't help us in the slightest anyway. The more time they have on the training ground the worse they seem to be.

 

[TyphooToffee]

It’s a wider problem for our relegation battle. We constantly crumble away from home, no pressure here really and doing exactly the same.

Two away games coming up next.

I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to our already suspect defence being tired and shagged out after a long squawk*.

*The effects of Thursday night's effort

 

[Rudolf Hucker]

We are 3 games away from a long awaited cup, some of our fans have never seen us lift a trophy.
As a fan a player or manager this is exactly what we want to achieve (silverware)

I know this club let us down year after year and i get were the negativity comes from but there is no way we shouldn't be going all out to win this.

Yes, I know all that.

Do you really believe in your wildest dream this bunch of imposters can pull it off?

We have maximum 5 players of Premiership quality. Some of the rest not even Championship level.


Sad, but true.

 

[Paul Rideout]

state of you lot on here - More embarrassing than the team vs spurs

 

[Saaby]

Doucoure man, how can you struggle so much with just being able to do simple passes.

Sign relegation fodder expect relegation fodder

 

[billybeeru]

For a supposed top player, Richarlison is strangely impotent in front of goal these days

For a guy that was supposed to be one of the best up-and-coming talents in the world a few years ago, he really hasn’t improved much.

 

[Mark barnett]

This team is so fragile away from home players just give up after going 1-0 behind apart from 1 or 2

 

[MACCA75]

I think we are beginning to see the real Gray.

You mean since like November

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Poor footballers are poor footballers ,whatever formation we play.

 

[Dixie1sixty]

This is what happens when you can't defend.

Feel sorry for the attacking players really.

 

[steven]

Newcastle. Soton. Spurs now palace.

Every game the same, start ok ish (not particularly great let’s be honest) then absolutely crumble when the first goal goes in.

These players just aren’t equipped with any expectation, or any crowd being against them.

There is literally zero point playing with three centre backs as we don’t appear to have any clue how to play the system properly.

West Ham and Burnley away next…

 

[Fansince1988]

Bring Iwobi on
He's got a goal in his locker

After the other night his confidence must have been sky high, Imo he should have started today. We have to play on the front foot as our defending is so bad.

 

[PhilM]

Is capitulation a fair enough word? Far too many gaps, heads are down and no unity at all.
