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

The boys must have a cutting edge today. Good that we have have some possession recently but I’d rather have a few points. A bit of the same from the corresponding second half from last season would be phenomenal.

If they don't...Lamps should look to changed that forward line up straight away

How many times will Gordon run the ball out of play today then

Or into some one

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

I was unusually confident after looking at Newcastles starters compared to ours. Now it’s just impossible to know whether we will be good today and score a couple to relax the nerves, or be timid, deep with hapless misplaced 5 yard passes and Gordon sent off twice.

I just want our players for once to ALL play to the level they are capable of, which has barely happened for nearly a decade. Sick of hearing about building, character, leaders, projects and robustness, almost as much as I was sick of everyone last season “taking a look at themselves in the mirror” after capitulating. Just be professional, confident, clinical and win ffs. Surely at some point we will smack some fellow strugglers 3-0 and send the fans home happy. Please be today.

This is on TV in the States over City v Brighton? That's odd.

Bit disappointing to see exactly the same team that has looked so limp last few games. Guess he’s not judging them too much against the likes of United, Newcastle etc. and wants to give them a chance at home. If they flip tonight though, 100% we’ll see changes next game.

So sad that playing the Horse Punchers has became an “expected loss” ?

 

[BlueStevie35]

Hes plan is clear. Play deep and watch them score! Worked great so far. The Lampard fan boys are happy losing only by one goal!

Any chance you can actually support the team today and not be a colossal bellend?

Totally, particularly missing some of their best players!!!

Fancy DCL/Gordon to come good today.

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

Need to start getting goals from set pieces, Tarks, Coady, Onana, DCL, on paper we have threats.

 

[DanEFC92]

Wonder if we'll manage a shot on goal today

 

[kenada_blue]

Need to start getting goals from set pieces, Tarks, Coady, Onana, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, on paper we have threats.

Set piece specialists are on the bench (Garner and McNeil)

 

[Furey1878]

Get Onana over on Coleman's side and let Iwobi off the leash a bit going forward.

Need a lot more from Gray and Gordon today.

Being realistic hurts?

I think Lampard is taking a big risk with Gordon, his head doesn't seem to right at the moment. I hope I'm wrong, but, I really think he is making a big mistake playing Gordon today. I'm quite surprised he hasn't started with Garner as well, things really need freshening up in midfield, both Gueye and Iwobi look tired.

 

[Furey1878]

Upset garner isn’t in the starting 11

I don't think our midfield 3 has been the problem recently. Garner is a good option for us if we need something different which is why he remains on the bench.
