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

[matty1878]

For the last 30 years at least why does every team we play easily walk the ball to the edge of our box.

Yet we take forever or more often than not lose it before we get there.

It's baffled me for 30 years.

we won you know

Great result today (but Palace really were not firing at all).

DCL could hardly have done more to impress the watching Southgate.

Gordon's offside I think was being flagged for earlier in the move when Gray had the ball Gordon strayed offside but then Gray went the other way and played the ball slightly backwards. Clearly Gordon got back onside... for once VAR gets it right.

McNeils goal was a thing of beauty and reminiscent of his preseason form. He skipped by 2 players before playing a beautifully weighted pass to Iwobi and 90% of players would have shot - Iwobi's heel was perfect and McNeil had kept going instead of admiring his pass to Iwobi. Even then he was pressured by defenders...What a goal!

Frank got the Line-up, the tactics and the press right today

The players all got it right on the field

MotM has to be Iwobi who just seemed to be everywhere in the first half especially.

Happy Day!

I thought Idrissa was magic, surrounded by giants, he won everything in midfield. Generally a great day, all players performed well.

Ref was abysmal.

I was impressed with Idrissa too. Broke up a lot of their attacks before they started, but I plumped fro Iwobi. To be fair the whole team played well today.

MOTM to Iwobi again. The man has been quite brilliant under Frank.

Great team effort today, a real pleasure to watch. I really wanted to see some changes made to the starting line up for today's match, boy am I glad he made none, Frank knows best

Lets hope for more of the same quality, onwards and upwards.

Loving my Everton tonight ?

only we could score 3 goals, keep a clean sheet and still be last on match of the day

 

[Blue Roo]

Best all over the pitch performance in a long while
Onana and Iwobi gave the lads the substance to control the game beyond a superb backline performance
If Onana can keep that up he's going to be some player.
And Gordon back to what he does best, warmed me cockles he did.

I know but it happens every week.

It's the Premier league. There are no poor teams

 

[Lineker]

Yep - Coleman my MOM. Didn't give Zaha a sniff.
Tarks and Coady were also solid - and another energetic performance from Wobes. Is he on Klopp's asthma tabs?

Was thinking today of making a joke on here of him sneaking over there and snaking their supply as the obvious cause of his resurgence coinciding with their drop off in form, bu I see you beat me to it.

 

[Swartzy]

After a performance like today and the smile it brought to my face. I think there should be an exception for today's MOTM, as you could near enough pick any player on that list. So Although the option isn't there i'm going with frank today. He really has brought something special to this club, the fact we've come off of 3 losses on the spin and go out and play like that, instead of just folding. It really does show the players believe in him and really do want to play for this great club. You can see it in there faces, there is a togetherness back in our club. And I think that 3rd goal just summed it up to perfection...

So much better today. Hard work and a more positive attitude went a long way. We were actually entertaining at times today. Keep it going! Well done all of them ?
