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

[Jimishorts]

Won by the penalty save

 

[Carl O'Ancelotti]

Persistence pays off. 3 in a row and on the up. Marco da man.

 

[blue to the bone]

Changes won us the game.
Well in Marco

 

[Neiler]

That was poor today though. Lookman underlined what we missed all day: composure and quality on the ball. That's what opened the door....and almost too late.

Have to agree, straight from England U21s the first, second was a sucker punch.

Great to win, but we worryingly have no cutting edge and struggle hugely against teams that mix it.

 

[Dunc's elbow]

Good subs from Silva! 2-0 and three on the bounce. Man Ure next - COYB!

 

[Jamiednm]

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

Me too. Though he’d need some coaching so he live with being challeneged physically.

He and CP just complain about him being fouled all the time with no protection from the ref. Well put some muscle on and be a Lukaku-style beast then. Stop complaining and do something about it.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Different beast this Everton. We defo would have lost that 1-0 in the past

 

[LocalNative]

Job well done.

 

[Ring master]

2 subs score for 1st time in 4 and a half years say sky

 

[Hantakun]

Well that‘s a feel-good showing if I ever saw one

 

[loooweee]

really happy for the kids that came off the bench and made a difference, that will do a world of good for them and keep the sub-conscious racist melts down

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

Marco gets full credit for today. Tosun looked very sharp after getting 90 for Turkey during the week.

Lookman looked class after his interview last week saying he now feels settled.

Gomes looks to have a bit of steel and drive we've been missing in midfield.

Long time since I've seen Everton play 4-4-2! Looked a threat soon as we had the two forwards on at the end with two great striker's goals.

The big problem is that we aren't starting with a top class striker...that then bolloxes everything else up from there. Players playing out of position.

 

[tsubaki]

Should've been off earlier but tbh the logical sub at that point was Davies to come on. Silva waited and put Lookman on, which turned out better, so...

Lookman was actually playing in the no 10 role as well, or at least seemed to be.

 

[Tubey]

Three massive points towards safety. Still an uphill battle to stay up but if we show that amount of heart and have that amount of luck for the rest of the season then who knows, we might keep our head above water.
