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

[Quadvod]

That’s on the two up front - terrible misses them

Should have scored before the 1st, but the tactics after we went 1-0 up were shocking. Too often we sit back at 1-0 and we’ve got away with it so often, not today and could have lost it.

Richarlison, DCL, Keane too poor, but that Gbamin sub was horrendous. Why on earth do you bring someone on whose not played for nearly 2 years in a big game, looked miles off it. Not blaming Gbamin but my word what on earth was the logic at 1-0? Horrendous game management from too many of them

Same old,same old at home anyway,one paced, lethargic performance, can't expect Rodriguez to create everything for us alone, Richarlison and Calvert Lewin cost us big time,I'm convinced now this team just want to coast to seventh or eighth, Carlo's subs too, awful.

 

[Fansince1988]

A 62 year-old over-the-hill manager is not what we need to lead us into a supposed new era.

Some wanted Mourinho, Carlos is ok he just needs rid of a few more players he inherited as they are really poor. Sigs, Gomes to name 2.

 

[Melchizedek]

Everton squandering a golden chance to move up in the table and stay in the hunt for Europe. I am disappointed by how absolutely predictable this was. Should have won 6-0, but place gets a point because our forwards forgot how to score today and Keane moves like an iceberg. Brilliant all around Everton.

If this was a blip and a one-off game where we dropped points because of a bad day at the office and people not having our shooting boots on, I'd be annoyed but can accept it.

The really worrying thing is that was one of our best home performances of the season - and it was riddled with countless individual errors, a total lack of leadership and a poor negative mentality. That for me is the most damning indictment of where we're at - what we just witnessed was actually really good relative to most of our performances last 4 months.

These gobshites would embarass us in Europe. Cant wait till the next international break

buddy there is children reading please no swears. reported.

 

[Alan Whittle]

From the Palace End;
Inevitably went behind eventually and rocky for a couple of minutes afterwards. Tried to get on the front foot and for once, sensible positive subs. Mateta is definitely one for the future, Batshuayi can play when he’s bothered and Reidewald going off allowed Eze inside & more importantly Zaha wide. Just get to the bye line & cross it Wilf.
Realistically we should have lost & Guiata was our MoM. Soz lids.

Cracking game...lived up to all the pre-match hype...'el classico' does not even begin to describe it. Two very evenly matched and managed teams going hammer and tong. Great stuff!!

 

[atypicalusername]

2 points dropped, you can’t miss the chances we did in this league as you get punished

Still not having that the season’s over, not when the gap is as small as it is

Shah, you are talking too much sense

 

[JMT]

We missed sitters and then invited them to pressure us, Completely deserved sadly.

 

[andy4efc]

Everton will make me kill myself one day. The amount of times they've ripped my heart out after giving hope.

Cowards.

 

[mceverton]

You can’t legislate for missing that many chances, we should have been comfortably in front going into the last 10 minutes, as a result of missing them the equaliser felt almost inevitable
