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

[toffeejack]

Get in, I said before the match that bench looked strong. Arguably lookman and dcl being the weakest outfield options, but they won us the game, well done marco.

2 of them scored

We could have had 5 if we had a main man up front from the start.

 

[Nymzee]

it really really wasn't.

Subjective.

Poor game really. Both teams not very good but in the end one manager wantedto win so gambled the other looks like an owl

Is right the blues

 

[Bob Latchford]

I know he's a melt, but I would sign Zaha in a heartbeat.
Is he for sale?

Both he and the right back who was immense

 

[Toffeelover]

A very welcome win and clean sheet. 3 points hooray!!!

 

[windymiller]

He was everywhere. Having someone like Gomes in beside him allowed him to be at his best.

I agree, quite excited to see this partnership.

 

[Jimishorts]

Well I certainly enjoyed it.

Could have gone either way but glad we won

 

[tsubaki]

For him to play an hour on a yellow with his style of play is pretty remarkable. He's just such a bloody good player.

Gomes was the reason why he looked so good today; in fact I can't remember as impressive a debut from an Everton player since Coleman's. Everything was done simply, very few mistakes, just kept the ball and used it intelligently.

 

[Jimishorts]

Agreed

 

[johnnydawg68]

Walcott shouldn't be considered an automatic starter. I'd consider lookman now. Another egregious miss by Theo today. Anonymous for most of the day. If lookmans head is right he's better, period.

 

[Saint Domingo]

We were by a country mile the better side.

 

[Ameen]

Both he and the right back who was immense

Wan Bissaka is going to be a top player

 

[Frang]

Subjective.

there was nothing enjoyable about that game bar the penno save
