Match Thread Everton 2-1 Crystal Palace. Sun Oct 5th. 2pm

Mateta was a dead-loss for a long time at Palace but he came good as a result of playing games. Barry could easily do the same if given the same time. Beto on the other hand seems to have regressed.

1-0.

They'll be flagging last 20 minutes.

This really should be a nailed on win.

If it isn't a win we're in a bit of trouble.

It’s odd but I have a good feeling some stuff will come against Palace. We have to have a forward score a goal. They should be knackered and hopefully a player replaces KDH who wants to impress like Alcaraz. I think we get a good solid 2-0 win.

Surely Palace are home today. Then they have a day of training tomorrow and then they leave for Merseyside sat night. Human nature says they should be shattered really.

4-0 to Everton.

2 goals for Barry by the 70 minute mark, 2 late goals for Beto after he's brought on.

 

[Nymzee]

Can't see where a goal will come from so draw or defeat.

 

[ToffeeScot]

They only have one win in the league against us in the last 10 years. They've given us tough games but we have always managed to edge them out. Hope we can do the same this weekend and exploit any potential tired legs.

 

[Frenk]

This ain’t the Palace of old, it’s going to be a tough game.

 

[Vaughan]

they went near enough full strength last night, just mitchell and sarr on bench

will be a tough game and I don’t believe in bogey teams but feel like we might nick it

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

grealish gets his first

Gonna have a tough game IMO. Their RB/RWB looks the business.

“This game against one of the best teams in the league on form should be a nailed on win because I, davek, said so. If the unlikely thing I stipulate with extreme confidence does not happen, the sky is going to fall.”

 

[Mr PEN86]

The jobless man in me decided to check the substitute stats and it makes for interesting reading. Bar Palace and ourselves in a way, teams higher up the league use more subs. We're currently bottom. Davey really needs to trust his bench more. Will see what he has to say in the presser

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

As always weThey'll be flagging last 20 minutes.

This really should be a nailed on win.

If it isn't a win we're in a bit of trouble.

Perhaps a more accurate reflection of the truth. see Garner's cramp or N'Diaye fading last weekend.

 

[Eggs]

….Palace are on a terrific run, full of confidence and will be looking forward to playing us on Sunday. I don’t really buy into them being fatigued given their form but we’re at home and certainly could get something.

 

[Bob Elstone]

Moyes needs to learn how to use subs effectively. Other sides changing half the side.
