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

[PhilM]

I've checked the table, done the maths and there's no value in drawing this one. It's spit or bust

Check your maths again: goal difference if we lose may play a part. Anyway, Palace will come at us with their pace, so hopefully we can catch them on the break.

Lads let's get real here. If we can't beat a 12th placed Crystal Palace side (that's only won ten league games all season) at home, under the floodlights when our Premier League status itself is guaranteed with a win then frankly we deserve to go down and there's no point in even getting upset about it.

Can't decide whether to go out for the game or not? Best pubs to watch it for someone who hasn't been in years?

Really interesting to see our mindset/plan if it’s all square with 15 mins to go…. surely we will go all out attack, as it the draw is only worth something if Burnley draw. But I’m not sure we will.

Everton fragility comes to the fore against Brentford to extend Premier League relegation battle

Everton should still have enough to avoid Premier League relegation but intrinsic fragility undermined a recent resurgence against Brentford.

We bottle it when we go behind and we bottle it when we get pegged back after going ahead. It’s either got to be a squeaky 1-0 or we have to blitz them early doors and actually take the chances that come our way.

Forget DoFs and all that, the club should be shelling out for top shelf psychologists this summer.

na mate we need to win

I know we do. What I'm saying however is that losing and remaining on the same points would not mean we stay in the same position, as GD may swing.

If we don't win, Burnley must lose.

Wait until you hear what happened against 13th placed Brentford.

Goal difference is set now, it’s better than Leeds, worse than Burnley.

We can't get a better goal difference than Burnley without winning. Would need to ship 18 goals to be worse than Leeds. Don't think a draw does us anything.

Hope you're right about Palace.

Last top flight game at Goodison if we lose this.

No one convinces me otherwise either.

I was there mate. I saw what happened thanks. We might do at bit better this time if we don't have to play 70plus mins with less men on the pitch

 

[MACCA75]

A draw only helps in the unlikely scenario that Burnley draw both their last 2 games.

Assuming we lose to Arsenal of course
