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

[GrandOldTeam]

If Burnley play like they did yesterday, then they have a great chance of a result.

Didn't watch them but saw the possession/stats on flashscore when keeping an eye on the score and it looked like Burnley set up hard to beat/for a point?

Different when they now have to go and win?

Palace will soak it up and punish us on the break I fear.

Should have beaten Villa away recently.

They may have similar numbers of injures as ourselves according to Johnson:

Asked about the prospects of Tarkowski, Mee or Rodriguez returning at Aston Villa, or for Newcastle, he said: “We are waiting and we will take it day by day."

Sack off all the noise and pyro for this one.
Play in tense silence.

Palace are used to the noise anyway.

Call me a miserable old git but I won't miss that spirit of the blues song especially that Woo in the middle.
A good rendition of We Shall not be moved beats it hands down

i just want to cry this could be it for our beloved club

 

[matty1878]

I actually think I made it very clear, twice indicating I believe we're going to lose it and also questioning the layers players as I very much don't believe they'll be able to put in a performance even if their Premier League status depends on it.

Think Burnley would still happily take a point on Thursday to take them above Leeds on GD. Then back themselves to match or better Leeds’ result on Sunday.

 

[matty1878]

I will be astounded (not to mention mightily relieved) if we win this, but it simply isn't happening in the current state of play.

We're going to have to pray that Leeds don't beat Brentford on the final day.

we’re done then we’re done

ye they will beat newcastle and i think leeds will go hung go. the last day is the day we go sadly

Olise is injured for them I think, so thats a bit of good news
It just screams 1-1 draw this game, hopefully we can do it - fans will play a big part again, it should mean 100 times more to us than them, gotta show that in the performance.

-------------Pickford
Coleman Keane Holgate Mickey
------------Delph/Allan
---------Iwobi Doucoure
----Gordon Richarlison Gray

Zoolander on the bench for the last 20/25mins if needed, think we get more out of him off the bench, similar to the Newcastle home game

Hoping Delph & Keane make it

They haven't announced this week's TV games yet. The chances are it will be on. Whether I can stomach watching it is the real question though

Just looked on the TV guide and they’ve picked the Burnley game so our game isn’t on live. Only just decided this morning I think as it was blank last night.

They started slow in the first 15, Spurs should have went ahead, but they weathered the storm. After that, they limited Spurs to very little, lost to a very soft penalty, and hit the post in the second half. It was an even game bar the first 15 minutes.

They looked really solid and organised, and had a little bit of threat. On another day, they get the goal that they probably deserved. Whether they can play more on the front foot I don't know, but they are very capable of nicking a goal and hanging on to a lead from what I've seen.

 

[brieverton]

Expecting a tough game but let's not at the same time make Palace out to be something they're not. I don't think the cup result will have any huge bearing.

We are certainly capable of winning here. We may not but again we could have far worse fixtures.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

My view is we need to go for it from min 1. No chance we are getting a result v arsenal away. We can take palace under the lights. Need delph back. And keane.

Sky have not even said them themselves yet, so TV guide must be taking a guess lol, i expect both to be on myself
