Everton v Crystal Palace. 7th Dec at 20:00.

[Groucho]

The dropped points at bouremouth make this look worse than it was, decent enough display, would have given kev a run myself, but was interesting to more of a footballer in cleverly at cm, a shame for gibson tjough, he and besic should leave really, bertos 3 fave players play in their position, just one of them innit.

All in all our form looks good, a decent crimbo and we can put ourselvesup there, oh and howard is utter tosh

Agree. Top bit is a good point in particular.

Disagree he marked Bollassie out of the game , and got forward well Baines was poor not match fit!

Got to disagree Joey. Thought Galloway gave too much space to allow numerous crosses to come in and didn't offer too much going forward. Baines didn't let himself down defensively and he made some excellent forward passes. The plus side was Baines getting nearer to full fitness without taking anything awy from our performance.

 

[Ring master]

we need to take that performance onto saturday and get the win at Norwich,play like alot of tonights game,and we should win,everton love to annoy though,thats what they are best at

 

[Baines' left foot]

Are we winning the woodwork table?

 

[ETID88]

Where were the subs?

I don't know about panic, but it appears as though we don't practice defending them. Barry completely lost Dann's movement. To be fair, he almost gave a penalty away with egregious shirt grabbing earlier in the game. But ho hum...Palace didn't beat us and against a mentally weaker Everton, they would have.

We're cool about everything else - including going behind and near-suicidial passing out of defence. It's just defending set pieces where we look like frightened cattle too often.

 

[flibbyflob]

Huge opportunity after the weekend results and we don't take it.

Everton that.

 

[froggyted]

I'm sure ur taking the piss here, but you never know on this forum.

Well, like you say, you never know, and I'm not. The defence is weaker without Jags, and in the end that's where we lost the points.

 

[Vaughan]

We have a really winnable run of games and have two points so far. We need to win every game leading up to new year if we want champions league

 

[banno]

So typical of us. This team will get nowhere near top 4 under a manager that cannot organise a defence.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO geroff

 

[The Mighty Quint]

I saw nothing from Palace to say they are anywhere near the quality we are, it was classic Pulis tactics, lets see what Tony has to say he's on next.

Sitting back, parking the bus and hoping to break is a desperate tactic, and deserves no credit in my book.

 

[Barrowjohn]

Still lots to improve on, but I really look forward to watching us, we are a good side. Just wasn't to be tonight. Corners were poor though.

 

[Albertini78]

Enjoyable game yous deserved the 3pts just make sure yous get them against Norwich at the weekend

 

[Swartzy]

Galloway has been a star fitting in like he has + hats off 2 the lad, but only 5 mins after coming on baines showed what weve been missing with that left peg of his

 

[Billy Dean]

Where were the subs?

Thought we played well tbf, no one really deserved to be subbed except maybe Kone though thought he did ok.
