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

[Bigduke1234]

this should have been 4 or 5-1 and nobody would argue that wouldn’t have been a fair scoreline. you get games like that where there is a clear sense of injustice - but when poor results like this keep happening it’s very hard to take

Can’t think of any games this season that we can honestly say we were robbed Luke today? Got what we deserved most of the time.

it just all got a bit footy manager.

Watching Everton....

 

[Bluepablo]

At least we didn’t use up all our goals in one game like Liverpool did!

 

[Davideeyore]

We're just not that good. We move on to Brighton. 2 points off a load of teams and a game in hand. Anything is possible.

 

[BlueToff]

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.

I was agreeing with you

 

[Donegal blue]

Why change what was winning. No need subs and poor strikers caused that, if a professional football player couldn't play another 15 minutes then they should stay in the house.

 

[Zezti]

They had 70% possession, Jesus. Palace at home.

Doesn't really matter because we had so many chances to win the game by a large margin.
Crap performances by our strikers and Guita stepping up against us as if his life depended on it.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Nonsense.

He may not good at finishing but to question his effort...

We wont get anywhere with a striker who isnt ruthless and cant score 1 on 1`s... If that was any striker from the top 8 of the PL they would have scored at least 1 or 2 of the chances that fell to Richy or DCL. They arent CL quality strikers, thats why they are at Everton!

 

[billybeeru]

Do people really think their keeper had a worldy? He didn’t really save anything you wouldn’t expect him to save. We were just crap at finishing.

 

[MACCA75]

Good thing I said the performance was good and not the result then

We were playing Crystal Palace at home. And at times they were zipping it around us for fun. That was not a top 4 performance.

 

[RomanReigns]

James was exceptional ran the show, also the fact he had to keep dropping back to instill the midfield with attacking purpose highlights how dire our central midfield is.

james is the vessel that links our defense to our offense

when you take him off its leads to just 1 way traffic cos godfrey just fricking hoofs it away back to palace instead of looking up to see who's in space

 

[ToffeeTim]

For anyone to accuse DCL of giving anything less than his maximum effort is a shocking call. Go and have a word with yourself. You know what they say, Tim nice but dim

Hes been outstanding all season until Burnley. 2 very poor games and I'm frustrated.

That ball he lost on half way today was very disappointing in the lead up to the equaliser. He has to do better.

 

[deipnosophist]

We have qualified for Europa League football in just 1 season since 15/16 season..... In that time the Southampton have qualified twice, Burnley once, Wolves once and West Ham twice (Set to be 3 times).

How are we behind these teams? This club is a failure and will always be a failure, the sooner we get used to it the better...........

I resigned myself to that about 5 years ago...now I just follow Everton out of habit...the 'not evers' I nickname them lol
