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

[stretford blue]

When was the last time we scored at the street end

 

[Sharpattack]

It’s a certainty that if Palace had those chances at least one of them would have been converted.

 

[Alan Whittle]

First half from the Palace end;
Very strange Palace. 71% possession and mostly a tidy passing game between the penalty boxes. Behind, we’re our usual keystone cops selves relying on Guaita as usual. Up top; Nothing. No change there. And yet, this could still go either way.

 

[RomanReigns]

I remember lukaku taking a free kick and scoring

 

[steven]

I just want to see Allan and Doucoure together again....

 

[kiss the crest]

Maybe you should.

Thats the problem I am

 

[OneTrueLegend]

We need to put these away, hopefully more of the chances fall to DCL in the 2nd half, COYBs

 

[brieverton]

It's the sloppiness and half-hearted nature of our play that disappoints me the most.

We just look so incoherent and unmotivated for such large spells.

Time for some leadership in the dressing room at half time, the Richarlison "incident" can be sorted by some straight talking.

My bigger worry is that he'll get himself sent off, and Friend will gladly oblige given the opportunity.

 

[blueconverse]

We are absolutely awful without our first 11. Like bottom half, won't get europe, out of both cups but at least we have a new stadium so that's the main thing

 

[Tigger]

ok buddies time to take 15 out and think of happy thoughts like warm cocoa marshmallow unicorns and no sex attacks.

No way, just booted the cat on the way to the kettle.

[BigBlueConk]

When you are playing gash, the last thing you need is petulance.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Disagree

We have been poor again, our chances come down to terrible palace defending rather than anything we have done.

Richarlison header from a good cross.

DCL from a brilliant pass

The mistake from palace was offside from Gomes to Richarlison which was very poor.

Palace are def there for the taking but the way we play they’re just as likely to sucker punch us on the break

 

[Sharpattack]

Yup, we look like a Top 4 side alright

 

[BlueToff]

Wouldn’t be this many negative comments if we had scored a couple of our numerous chances

This is also true. At least we’ve created, and they haven’t looked too dangerous going the other way

but, this is a game there for the taking - again.
