Everton v Crystal Palace. 30 Sep at 2000.

Not a bad game, reasonable performance. Cracking free kick from Lukaku.
Just need to be a bit more professional about finishing teams off in future.

Played well there mate. We were utter dogs.

What is extraordinary is that Everton did not play nearly as badly as some of the comments on here while I thought Palace were shockingly bad at times.
I have a theory that says as soon as the opposition cross the halfway line they're bound to score yet if we have two clear on goal with the ball on the edge of the six yard box we'll still miss.

amazingly we got 5 yellows and will get a fine from that game. Not a bad tackle in anger throughout the 90 - shows just how bad of a refereeing performance that was

ref gave us very little 2nd

Well, no change of personnel until the window opens. He has to work with what he's got. Big big test of management skills for Ron here.

That second half was rank bad.

A long old season ahead

Maybe, which is why I said 7th would be a good achievement.. Personally, I think we'll finish 7th - 10th, possibly 8th behind Leicester but the top 6 are miles ahead of us

The top 6 are far ahead of us. We are in the next group.

Could have taken off Cleverley (who did ok) for Lennon, put Bolaise on the left, and Lennon on the right, would have given us a more attacking option, also Lennon will track back.

i was still perplexed by his lack of urgency on the subs , the Belgian should've been on sooner

Its just a lack of creativity. We've got too many brainless players. Bolasie is a middtable playerwho won't bring us any further. Ross never plays a through ball. We cant create much chances.

We'll test them. Don't worry about that.

They look class, but, we can press at them. Think we'll see a return to three at the back as well tbh.

That mental frailty when we concede a goal is still there from last season. That won't go overnight.

CahillsCornerFlag · September 30, 2016

Far, far too many slips, miscontrols and underhit passes in that second half, seemed to happen every time we got into a decent position or had a chance to break.

Far too many average players in that squad too, and a few which need some serious competition for places.

Didn't matter, all our players are much of a muchness.

Know what your saying, but at least it would have been more of an attacking option though.

Cleverley's was cynical and rightfully a yellow, but that one for Gana was just laughable. The ref was truly appaling for the short amount I watched (approx 75mins onwards)
