Match Thread Crystal Palace 1-2 Everton . Sat Feb 15th. 5.30pm.

[f.t.r.s]

Tough game, understandable to be slow out the blocks after Wednesday...

Good play by Charly and was their ever any doubt with our top slotter once he got the ball?

 

[mistuhp]

Remember when we all dreaded watching the game?

 

[Stephen Gibson]

I'm absolutely loving Beto at the moment. He’s running about, getting stuck in, scoring goals & making me laugh & cheer. Dom would have missed that goal.

 

[Bristol Blue]

Beto showing dom how to finish over the last few games.
Seems to have calmed down a bit under Moyes, not so erratic.

 

[ElGato]

Grew into that and deserve to be ahead on the balance of play, despite some shambolic defending at times - we've created all the best chances

Alcaraz and Beto standouts

Harrison is infuriating, never releases the ball and generally just dribbles until he's tackled

 

[Vintage]

Talk about a smash and grab first half
Getting some lady luck for a change
Need to cut out all this messing though

 

[MercuryBlue88]

Messy game from both sides tbh. Defence needs to calm down.

 

[JohnRoss23]

Up to 13th btw as it stands

Get him, @matty1878 !!

 

[ValBlue]

How are we winning here

Massive slice of luck with their miss, but our goal is something we’ve not seen enough of this season. A drive from midfield, perfect pass and composed finish. Keep it up lads, subs going to be needed here though, we look knackered (understandably)

 

[TexanToffee]

Could have been down 3-0, but we're up 1-0. I don't care, I'll take it. Palace fans must feel gutted right now to give that one away.

 

[matty1878]

it’s a big push to do two games without fatigue i don’t want us to sit off and invite

don’t know what game olan
to do!!!

 

[Frenk]

Can't believe our luck to be ahead....but I'll take it, c'mon you blues.

When you have Beto, it’s not luck.

 

[Benno]

Rode our luck a little but then if we hadn’t had bad luck at times this year we’d have had no luck at all.

Beto best player on the pitch for me. Handful again, seeing players runs now too and bringing them in. Give him a chance and it’s 1 zip.

Harrison far better on the left and pressing well with Lindstrom. Think we will see something from Alcaraz second half.

I’d imagine moyes will adjust something in the second to get us slightly higher up the pitch.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Wouldn't purchase any of our loanees

Technically, Alcaraz is a loan, and we may end up forced into a buy. A couple more injuries and Alan Irvine might be a sub.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Not sure what people see in Lindstrøm.
