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

[Igrok]

Moyes will take 0-0..

What's going on with Grealish today? There's been various times where Mykolenko has been making ground up the pitch but has to check back because Grealish has just stopped running.

 

[Bedfordblue]

Dibling and Barry are useless

I say this in the express hope they both slot in the next 15mins to make me look like a bedwetting biff.

 

[Dharma]

Our midfield is sooo poor

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Yet Barry didn't make the run across the near post

True, but a bit harsh. Ball wasn’t good enough and not enough players attacking it, not just Barry guilty there.

 

[Tommy Chong]

Would be really great time for Grealish to score his first goal for us

That would be lovely, LL...

But at the moment they're winning every 50/50 and loose ball. They look more hungry for it.

Out of all our awful awful CF’s, Beto is deffo the least worst.

 

[overkill]

He’s the LB version of Hibbert.

Decent defending but offers nothing going forward.

It's even more noticeable with Grealish because he creates time for an overlap because he keeps the ball, so frustrating

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

He

Barry stood still when he should be running to the near post

has physical gifts but not seeing the nose for goal that is a condition precedent

 

[Drico]

Is it time to have the uncomfortable conversation that nobody wanted to have in the summer, and say that the recruitment was poor and didn’t address the weakest areas of the team?

100%.

The dreams of a revolutionary reset ended quickly. We kept the safety-first manager - which was understandable - but had nobody in place to recruit early and decisively. Basically, we didn't back him - as his frustration in the US proved.

I'm not impressed with these new owners. Just because they are better than their predecessors does not make them good owners.

The blue wall is more blue rickety fence. Where’s the supposed noise and singing coming from there? Get it going ffs.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Everton have it at the back…. Constant palace pressure.

Palace have it at the back…. Everton sit off and palace can build.

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

What is Barry doing there ?! Seldom seen a player look so disinterested.

Wants to go back to Villareal me thinks.

 

[LinekersLegs]

That was a bit of a scramble to clear

 

[DanB90]

I’d rather have given them a corner than another throw in.
