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

[MaximusEvertonius]

Why do we have to always sacrifice an entire half or be losing to play with conviction? We have to be aggressive all match long.

 

[LinekersLegs]

At least the crowd are getting back into it with the team playing more on the front foot

 

[Andy Gray Diving Headers]

Beto on for Barry... Sigh.

Never before has one single sentence in the whole English language been the inspiration for so much... Indifference.

Barry on for Beto?

 

[Karbutar]

Not sure Barry could do much more there. Aw
By bringing him on ?

No, by giving him 120 minutes so far this season..

 

[Delargeinho]

Why not like that from min 1

 

[Kiwi_efc]

Scratching my head why alcaraz has fallen completely out of favour at least he shows some impetus, something seriously lacking last few games

 

[Mickey]

This is what the crowd needs play with some intensity.

 

[heatmeiser]

I’m not going to judge our strikers playing in a team that isn’t creating anything for anyone

Other than having two of the players that have created the most chances in the league you mean?

 

[Rita_Poon]

keane injured enough to go off?

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Nah. Can not pull it back if you allow play to go on then they misplace a pass. Advantage gone.

 

[Rita_Poon]

trouble here...

 

[windymiller]

Well no, we’ve already had multiple players out for months and one suspended.

Yes, but that is a persistent issue for this club that doesn't seem to affect others the same way and should also be looked at. If we can't keep a squad that only plays 40 games a season fit when compared with a team that plays 60+ then there is a big problem with our coaching and medical departments.

 

[Mr PEN86]

Signs of the times when I get worried seeing Keane going down injured lol

 

[D. Amokachi]

We are not an effective football team. The striker and fullback situation goes without saying now. But watching Palace move it quickly and decisively makes you realise that we don’t have any passers in the team. Our attacking midfielders are good at dribbling, but how many PL goals are scored from dribbles? We really need a midfielder who can look up and play a forward pass.

Because someone can’t get it right the first time.
