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

What's the point of acquiring king if we're not going to employ him as an alternative if our other attackers are botching easy chances?

There was never a point

 

[tommytowne]

Can we all agree now, the season is over for us. Let's not replace Newcastle as the most deluded fans.
It effing well hurts.

 

[Fansince1988]

He wants to give Sigurdsson a new contract and the man who signed Gomes is still DoF.

Hope thats just paper talk, Gomes was worth a go but both need to go, they are holding us back massively.

Mid table team with delusions of grandeur. Season cant end soon enough

 

[bluelegend]

I’m still stunned that Gbamin was brought on. Understand taking James off but surely Holgate into midfield and Godfrey into CB would have made more sense. If you’re holding onto a lead why put a player who was awful before he got injured years ago, on the pitch.

4 points off 4th with a game in hand in his first season, still people calling for Ancelotti's head

 

[BlueToff]

Because our bench is just stacked full of talent isn't it.

Not the point, ffs

They were subs for the sake of subs and all that happened was we went to 5-4-1 with multiple players playing out of position, and nobody able to get on the ball and keep hold of it to stop Palace getting forward at will

 

[Rugby Toffee]

Lack of composure in front of goal cost us...don't take your chances you don't win your matches

 

[billybeeru]

Maybe now Ancelotti can start to coach the team to continue playing football after scoring a goal instead of parking the bus. Sick of watching us settle for one goal leads and assume we’re so solid defensively that we can’t lose it.

Bang on

He wasn’t awful before he got injured ffs

I don’t think he should have been brought on when he was, but bloody hell, stop being weird

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

Pretty sure West Ham will crush Wolves... Thats how you gallop into the top 4 no bottlers there.

 

[bullybeef]

People calling for ancellotti's head? Hahahahahhahahahahahha.

It’s not Carlo... it’s the players.
They’re crap.

 

[ah11984]

I get pretty much zero enjoyment from watching this team unless James is on the ball.

 

[deipnosophist]

It's like climbing Mt Everest and then quitting 10 steps from the summit.

there is some irony in that allusion: Everton always crumbles under pressure, yet the summit of Everest experiences air pressures one third those prevailing at sea-level.
