Match Thread Everton 2-1 Crystal Palace - Saturday 28th September - 15:00

[msb]

2nd half much better largely down to the substitution by Dyche. Pleased that also late on he grasped the tiring nature of midfield - for once!

All in all, a deserved win, but we do make it hard for ourselves. Voted for a Ndiaye but could have been Branthwaite, McNeil or Harrison. For once an honourable mention to Young, who was not horrendous.

Think he left the last batch of changes late. Should really have done it 5/10 mins earlier but least he made the changes

 

[Andy McGurk]

Been out all day, so very relieved to see the score.

That said, you can rely on Crystal Palace to give up a lead for us, seems to be the only team who do.

That or Watford

Palace fans delighted to see the back of Goodison Park.
Hopefully we draw them at home in the cup

Young was not horrendous! Jesus he was very very good, I made him my MOTM along with one other voter, slag him as often as you like, not just you, when he plays poorly but give some well deserved praise when he plays well and he did today, in fact he stood out. He also played well at Leicester and Villa but rarely gets a kind word off many fans even when he deserves it.

If we managed to get a RW in during the window we would actually have a very good attacking 4.

Always say if you show effort the fans will get behind anyone in the shirt, shout out to Harrison today worked his socks off when he came on, harried and harrased , all we can ask. Mangala was really good today, my MOM did the ugly work, always showed for the ball and tried to move forward even in the first half when we were off it UTFT

Anyone else get a squeaky bum after the subs... I did.

 

[roy vernon]

Mcneill MOTM for me, Young surprised me, a very solid display from him, Dyche made the right subs this week, they were killing us in the first half. Keeping Ndiaye on gave us an edge of danger until the end.

 

[toffeemeister77]

It was nice to come from behind today.

Always is.

Good to hear Martin Keown pipe up on Final Score to put Jason Mohammed right with “I played for Everton too, you know”

What was the context?

…no, I actually like he reverted to the CM axis that served us well last season to get us over the line.

Against Bournemouth he took Ndiaye off so McNeil could stay on the pitch in a wide role. It was complicated and I like to think he learned from that by simply taking McNeil off and leaving Ndiaye on.

 

[GoldenToffee]

I'll go either 1-1 or 2-1 to us.

Glad my positivity helped us victory today.

Fair play mate
