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

[Frenk]

Nah, it's bad but there's loads of bad teams in the league this season. We'll end up in roughly the same position we've been in for the past few years. It's dreadful to watch again, though.

The question is though, should it be with the players with have? I’m thinking not really.

Palace seem to be playing with more enthusiasm than us. Why the hell is that?

 

[Bristol Blue]

Absolutely woeful. We're slow, ponderous and predictable. Getting over run in midfield. Grealish looks like the player he was in his last season at City, coming back inside constantly, but that maybe due to the fact no one's making forward runs. Dibling looks nervous and unsure and why do we always seem to buy Centre forwards who are made of high density rubber. The ball comes off them like a cue ball off a snooker table cushion.

Dibling looks petrified of his own shadow

 

[blindbert]

We need better footballing full backs if we are going to play down the sides

 

[Bebeto]

Looking forward to the changes Moyes are going to make at ht

Good luck with that...the guy never takes accountability for anything (league cup game is the perfect example)...making changes at half time would be an admission of culpability...alcaraz and aznou still waiting on an opportunity to play first team football...

 

[II McColl II]

Il be honest from what i've seen so far Moyes would be justified giving Barry the Per Kroldrup treatment, doesn't look this level in the slightest.

We also need more legs in the middle, i'd get Alcaraz on so we can atleast have 3 centrally as we're constantly over run by their wide options and our players tucking in to cover open space.

Also don't think Grealish and Dibling as wide options can be on at the same time, no pace and we aren't good enough to control a game to make use of them.

 

[RomanReigns]

One of the worst halves of football I’ve ever seen

 

[lungo]

Baffling how often teams seem to have 2 or 3 men around our players on the ball but we seem unable to stretch the play into the gaps this must cause.

Slowwwwwwwwww playing doesnt help. 2 pivots without any pace plus Ndiaye being nowhere near the ball doesnt help. The Giraffe is a real embarrassment! Play Grealish in the middle . Take of the Giraffe and bring in Alcarez. Only Everton could replace a Bambi by a Giraffe. Whats next? An elephant?

 

[Mr PEN86]

The sideline is marking Grielish out the game...hes hugging the line which is great if you have the pace to burn the fullback, a skilled overlapping fb on your team or a good cf making smart runs...we have none of the above.

Yh Myko hasn't helped this. Desperately need to integrate Aznou into this team

 

[f.t.r.s]

I'd get Grealish off.

Move Ndiaye left, Alcaraz central, Dibling right.

No more of this "just give it to Jack" rubbish.

Cowards football...one man team.

I'd move him central and allow him to roam...

Without quality support hes very predictable on the left

Illy and dibling should be fine on the wings....

Barry needs to find some aggression and belief....

 

[Chozz]

Switching over to the Browns games...

Right back, striker and a left back, oh and another midfielder tar

There absolutely is not, quite the opposite.

Lol thought I'd log on for the massive overreactions. Not disappointed
