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

[Death]

Feel like we are getting over the Moyes hangover at long last.

 

[Carl O'Ancelotti]

Haven’t seen the Pen back. Didn’t look one at all in real time, thought coleman got a toe on the ball and then Zaha fell over?

Was it a pen?

There was a little bit of contact but Zaha went down as if he'd been shot in the back. The one we should have had was much clearer yet it wasn't given.

 

[davek]

Probably but if you're giving one for minimal contact and theatrics then you have to give that too as Tomkins was needlessly all over Richarlison

The Zaha one wasn't theatrics though. It was a clear clip on his ankle.

 

[Ring master]

Deffo a dive.

It was not to be fair mate, coleman took zaha ankle/foot etc out from behind him,maybe zaha maybe made a touch more of the fall etc,but it was a pen

 

[BlueToff]

Exactly. United will commit bodies forward and we are well set up to exploit that on the break.

I can’t see Mina getting a start yet as Keane and Zouma are doing everything asked of them.

The 80 mins will have done Gomes good and we saw glimpses today of how his inclusion will allow Gana to concentrate on screening the defence.

We’re looking good and I expect a point at Old Trafford. Not often I have said that.

I don't 'expect' anything - or I try not to.

They've started playing well. We're playing well, so we go there with confidence.

It was a foul and a fair decision.

We should have had a penalty and it's that inconsistency that drives fans - of all clubs - mad, and rightly so.

 

[Jimishorts]

Should be first on motd tonight, at least.

 

[daza_1973]

Woy bemoaning his luck again....

Deja Vu?

 

[Jimishorts]

Totally different game if it goes 0-1

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Thought we were poor today, better teams will hump us. We looked sluggish and short of ideas until the subs. Our central defence and midfield are still woefully short of the kind of quality we are aiming for.
Great to see Coleman back mind

I was disappointed with Coleman, that was really stupid. He was crap in the early stages of the season, I wouldn’t have changed the defence tbh....

Completely disagree. We dominated the game, and Coleman nearly threw it away. Brilliant save by Pickford......

 

[Stutheblue]

Hard fought win that. Feared the worst when they got the pen and after it was saved it looked like a 0-0. Wasn't ecststic when DCL came on, but I was when he scored!!
We weren't great but its an important 3 points. Hopefully we'll have a real go next week.

 

[wainy]

If that was the incident I thought it would have been soft, tbh.

No, I dont see where Taylor had a bad game, tbh.

He gave us nothing all game mate.

 

[Cameron Manning]

..it’s a fair point but they haven’t conceded a single goal from a set piece this season. I thought Keane in particular had a few half chances but didn’t quite attack the ball.

Looked like he was taking his eye off the ball just as he was attacking it, missed one centre completely.
