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

[jaycee]

Very average performance and yet still should have won by 4/5 goals, I never feel confident when DCL is in a 1 v 1 situation,dont know who else was on the bench but felt the JPG sub was wrong,as for MOTM I couldnt vote for 1 as there was no outstanding player out there

This is about our level considering our players. Our play going forward is horrific. Completely new midfield is required.

Please god sign some pace

....such a disappointment, such a nothing result.

Thought Holgate & Mina were fine, I really don’t like Keane in that right side of three CBs, the opposition continually get in that channel.

I thought our best two players were taken off, Rodriguez & Coleman. I’m going for Coleman as MoM as he created a number of chances, including the assist for the goal.

Thought keane was shocking, really bad game from him.

Keane should have just stayed on Batshuayi.

Both him and Mina got sucked to the ball ffs.

Mina was in the centre, so went to the man and ball.

WTF was Keane doing ?

I dont like the 3 without 2 quick players in there.

Quality striker wins that game. Lukaku given the same chances as DCL finishes at least one. Always thought a goal was likely when Lukaku was on the ball. DCL gets its and I think “well here goes that chance.”

DCL one on one with the keeper is shocking, how can hit them straight at the keeper, he's only good for tap ins.

Here comes Everton to ruin an otherwise decent bank holiday weekend. A worse Easter than Jesus had this.

 

[BlueToff]

Game should have been out of sight by then cocker.

Of course it should. But it wasn’t. He had a job to do and did it badly, just like DCL and Richarlison

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

In a season when everyone’s crap, don’t see anything different with this team

 

[Baggzio]

Because tossing a 3rd CB in doesn't make you more secure if you aren't comfortable with the positioning and our players are not.

If Michael Keane knew how to position himself correctly we'd be fine. What has happened to him? Mina gets stick but he was doing everything today in a back 3. If Holgate isn't RB he's on the bench, bizarre to bring Godfrey on and leave him RB instead of switching out Holgate.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Got to say Dom and Richy wasted far too many chances between them and ultimately let the side down.

 

[Efcjake]

Mina was in the centre, so went to the man and ball.

WTF was Keane doing ?

I dont like the 3 without 2 quick players in there.

Yep Mina was the free man to close down the man on the ball.

Keane was closer and couldn't Mina behind him but ffs they have to talk.

 

[the sniderman]

careful you will upset the Ancelotti fan club

 

[everton1953]

Coleman's contribution was very good overall. Once again he has proved reliable, unlike some of the other crabs. Why was Siggy brought on? He did nothing, King must be terrible not to be on in place of take your pick, DCL?

 

[andy4efc]

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.

We created 6 clear cut chances to score. We scored one. Ancelotti is not to blame for Richarlison and Calvert Lewin showing that can't finish.

100% on them. Game should have been 5-0 before Palace created their first real chance of the game with 5 to go.

 

[steven]

Of course it is

You think it’s not? Finishing outside of the European spots has to be deemed a failure for me

We don’t get ancelotti in and james to get us into the top 10.
