Match Thread Everton v Crystal Palace - Team Prediction, Waffle, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Andy is the King]

That was as invigorating as a trip to the dentist

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Genuinely don't get the Dyche love in. I have never seen an Everton side so inept at attacking play. And I mean ever. Even Walter Smith and his starting XIs containing 7 defenders were better than this.

It doesn't have to be even remotely close to fancy football, but there are zero runs, zero patterns of play. It's beyond abominable. All well and good improving our defence but we won't be staying up by scoring solely from set-pieces. Shocking stuff again. It is so clear they do zero work on attacking play.

Even Pickford cannot distribute the ball properly….

 

[matty1878]

see you in the champ

 

[Infernus]

A team with anything about them at all would have put these away ages ago. If we don’t get these 10 points back we are dropping im afraid. I’d say go get dithering Dave back after West Ham bin him but we haven’t got the money to change managers.

 

[captainvindaloo]

That was a terrible half of so called football.
Whole team needs a huge kick up their respective posteriors, including Dyche!
Sort it out!

 

[LocalNative]

Get some pace on and stick them in between their wide centre halves and wing back. It’s not rocket science that’s the place to attack.

Does that still involve hoofing the ball long? If not, Dyche might struggle to adapt to that.

First half summary

 

[Blue Willy]

We havent got a great team, thats obvious, but I cant take much more of this dour tactical approach or slow width passing back and passing back then lumping it long. Terrible tactics Sean.

Weve pretty much been outplayed by every single team we have faced this season.

Its embarrassing.

he’s doesn’t know how to attack

 

[GoldenToffee]

Useless manager with no plan B. Concede and we lose here because we don't look like scoring. Their keeper hasn't touched the ball has he apart from a few goal kicks? Embarrassing.

 

[Hadders]

Blurting out the 'c' word a couple of times has had my son giving me the look

Calvert-Lewin?

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Crap support.
Crap performance.

Crap performance =Crap support

 

[trueblue84]

Beto and Harrison on for Calvert lewin and McNeill. Both look like they've been on the ket.

 

[Kraken]

I have to question what is practised in the training sessions during the week?

Utter garbage football with no plan.
