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

[windymiller]

Everton defender James Tarkowski says: "We were quite disappointed, we're in a real battle and we need more. We had the opportunity to pick up three points.

"To grind it out with 10 men is nice but there's way more from us. We defended well, we had conceded a few goals recently so that's a plus but we need to do more and expect more from our forward players. We have some really talented boys but we need more from them.

"It has been a tough season and maybe we are losing that confidence. The players we have got are super super talented boys.

"The season has not finished now so I don't look at the table, there's six games to go."

I'm sick of hearing "there's more from us" from players and management, we've six games left, FFS.

The boss has canned him mate.

WAHEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

You mean the obvious sub of Godfrey for Holgate wouldn't win us the right flank battle? lol

Godfrey or Patterson coming on at 60 mins at least leaves us with 11 men on the pitch.

Ban the 'kin lot of them Pete

End of season…*taps nose………

Godfrey is equally as bad but at least he's athletic enough to keep Ayew quiet.

However Dyche don't do pre-78th min subs.

Decent point away to a side bang in form.

Such a shame that a point at this stage is almost useless.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

He's like that every week and I report him every time I see him avoid the swear filter or openly swear at people and the mods do nothing.

Proper Everton, all over the place.

Mods allow context mate.

And there's a lot of desperation/worry and usually cooler heads losing their rag.

Contrary to popular belief, we don't like to remove people from the platform but of course there's a line.

Sadly @Eggs I think we are down already

….i think the club is rotten & ultimately that usually manifests itself with the inevitable but I live in hope for the amazing supporters we have. We need the ghosts of Goodison to come out of the walls and get us an unlikely win.

I didn't have any faith in Mr Dyche, then, briefly, I thought I was wrong, now I have returned to my original opinion. He's been rubbish the last three matches.

Really disappointed in today. Maybe more so in the lineup. With DCL back, why play Gray with him? How about someone that plays the position and put Gray where he’s a more natural fit?
Holgate also clearly out of position/depth.
I’m not sure there is a way out with the games left, will definitely need some help.
Really disappointed, not much else to say.

There's such an embarrassment of riches to choose from on that side... I'm guessing we'll see Lonergan start at RB before Patterson.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

Our away record is absolutely pitiful.

Painful watching this team trying to pass, create and score. Or just generally play football.

Worst away record since 1980

It's getting incredibly tiresome hearing the same old soundbites to be honest..

If you've spent any time at all on this forum you should be well acclimated to that sort of thing.

I think we have to make the bar codes as must win, as simply we must win an effin game. I don't think I've known a season of so few wins, it's far from embarrassing it's scandalous. I live in hope that Doucoure returning along with maybe the likes of Coleman and Onana and of course DCL, that we maybe just maybe have some life left. Make no mistake we're in the danger zone for a reason and people need to realise this. Smell the coffee.
