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

Which one is playing through the middle

 

[davek]

Alcaraz I think is effective off the bench, so I'll reserve criticism of Moyes for now. But if we're struggling to get going and he doesn't bring him on I'm calling vendetta.

 

[windymiller]

Pleased, and surprised, to see that line up. I'm assuming Grealish will play as the 10. N'Diaye and Dibling need to make sure they protect their fullbacks when we're out of possession.

 

[Ducans elbow]

Grealish misses the next game so KDH in and same team,
If it goes well today

 

[Frenk]

We have two injuries and one ban. What were you expecting?

Some amazing unknown miraculous player to magically appear?

 

[blindbert]

I'm in the "Palace have got to lose sometime" camp

 

[Bluewater]

Really looking forward to this game and watching Dibling from the start. Let's hope Barry can get a goal to boast his confidence. Movement, movement is the key. Still think we'd be better with three in the middle of the park.

 

[CielosGrises]

Bench looks weak. 2 keepers, 3 full backs, McNeill, Tim and Beto. Early season optimism will be truly evaporated if we don't pick up 3 points before another bloody intl break

At least we have a striker and AM in Alcaraz. Our bench has deffo been worse.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Branthwaite injured, Rohl injured, and KDH banned?

Squad of 20 available in what was called the reserves

Alcaraz I think is effective off the bench, so I'll reserve criticism of Moyes for now. But if we're struggling to get going and he doesn't bring him on I'm calling vendetta.

But you don’t like Alcaraz, Dave, did you forget?

 

[Alan Whittle]

Palace at full strength. Enjoy it lids. See you on the other side.

 

[davek]

But you don’t like Alcaraz, Dave, did you forget?

I said he's lightweight last season. But how does that contradict me saying he's better off the bench playing against a tiring opposition? Surely that underlines my original comment/assessment?

Significantly better recruitment in the summer?

 

[Simo]

No alcaraz, booo
