Match Thread Everton v Brentford. Preview, Match Report and MotM poll

I feel sorry for us. We experienced all emotions within 90 minutes today. From safety to being dragged back to safety to hopeful to devastation.

That red card changed the game. Although we went up 2-1, it's only matter of time

Crystal Palace game to most important game of the season. Only a win will do. I really don't want us to go to Arsenal needing a win or draw to survive.

Looked up Yard Dog in the dictionary, it’s just a photo of Doucoure???

His legs have a life of their own, he runs as if there are invisible obstacles in front of him that must be avoided.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

What is it, 5/6 sending offs in last few games. We turn a near sure thing winner into an utter shambles, go to the capital needing a win.. My arse!!!!

We have Palace Thursday, be all done for by nights end, safe!

It's the result at the end, that counts, not the one after about 35 mins. We've had worse ref's this season, the blame, is very much on the players shoulders. I mean one example, Doucoure, absolute garbage, he bottled it. Get rid!

This. The pen shout before the sending off is debatable. The sending off for them maybe. Not an outrageous decision not to book him. This is on poor management and useless players. Our centre mids were terrible. And DCL useless again.

Do or die against Palace. FFS Frank, you better get a result.
@Alan Whittle can’t you tell your boys to take it easy, in fact, can’t you tell Vieira to play the all kids?

 

[Khalekan]

Gave Iwobi motm, stuck at it.

Me too.

Played very well.

 

[Bkk Andy]

Palace are a good side and a point against them will be a result. Think we will just have to rely on Brentford doing us a favour against Leeds TBH

If we're relying on Brentford then a point against Palace is worthless.

Love Lampard as a person as he gets the club. But Martinez also got the club. I can't see Lampard doing well with us he isn't what we need. Get someone else in the summer.

 

[4 Eyes Better Than 2]

I notice that @Inchy226 (who is currently dropping middle fingers on anyone questioning the referee’s performance today) joined just before the derby.

Interesting.

Pointed this very thing out the day after the derby.

It's extremely difficult to envisage an 11 we can put out against Palace who can win the game. And a win is whats required. A draw is no good really as if we are relying on coming ahead of Burnley by goal difference then its too late

I suppose it all depends if Keane is well by then - if it is, I think if we play as we did today we will do it.

I can see next Sunday potentially being the worst day of my life.

 

[Grogu the blue]

We have Palace Thursday, be all done for by nights end, safe!

Yeah?

 

[Davideeyore]

We have to beat palace at home. It's as simple as that. We will get nothing at arsenal

This. (don't you just love when people go "this")

Forget today, beat Palace and that's that. We didn't have the run of the green Branthwaite left us with an uphill task.
Thursday we'll be up for it.

 

[Fansince1988]

Didn't deserve to win.

Some was down to our own stupidity so down to dodgy decisions, it was one of those games you get now and then we just didn’t need that type of game today. I know Braithwaite is young but I’m pinning the blame onto him, let Toney go he might or might not have scored, but I’d have taken conceding a goal rather than going to 10 men, Rondons sending off didn’t really matter.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Real shame too as it would have allowed fans to organise against this board on Thursday if we won today.
