Everton v Crystal Palace. 30 Sep at 2000.

I do not think jags is a good captain. why did Everton not keep Stones and build a team round him? I do not even think though Everton were brave or clever enough to hold out for a good transfer fee.

Barry and Gueye both had efforts cleared off the line.

could not see that mate from coverage. did not make game. seemed palace all over us

 

[lancs blue]

Under Martinez we got worse through the season. Under Koeman we'll get better, especially given the players that will come in January.

We're headed for top 6

we were promised signings in summer which did not materialise. doubt better in jan

Don't think Gana's was cleared off the line, it was actually a poor attempt from him, he hit it right at the defender.

 

[RomanReigns]

barry's was a flick on from a corner that was going wide anyway defender only cleared it because it was in his vicinity

gueye's attempt was blocked by defender, don't think it got anywhere near the line

 

[Donald Twain]

He's a shocking Ref, never seen him have a good game, it's what would happen if Louis Walsh ref fed a game.

he was a complete bellend from start to finish !

 

[lancs blue]

lack of desire on pitch shows. another poor season unless over paid under worked jerkovs see lightvof day and seem wanting to earn wage

Too many static players in the centre of the park, Watching Arsenal, City and the RS recently you see them sprinting in droves towards the box to get on the end of a move.Our play is old fashioned and predictable. 3 games on the bounce now I could see we wouldn't score from the last 20 minutes onwards.

 

[blue to the bone]

First time seeing the new everton in the flesh. And I'm not sure much has changed goin by tonight. No real creativity , slow and pedestrian at times. Too slow to close down crosses and a thing that infuriated me was 11 men in the box defending corners. No on the the posts and when balls were cleared it was straight to them. A lot needs to be done.

Oh God no , I'm in the Main stand ! Class traitor alert!

My butler has just sent me your report card.
You need to work hard on the tea and tiffin etiquette, but were a natural at beating the peasants.
Good work.

Tbh I was surprised at the amount of Texans in there.

If we Evertonians had been as impatient and as petulant in the early 1980s as we are today, Howard Kendall would have been shown the door before he could win anything at all. We didn't once finish in the top 6 during Kendall's first three seasons as manager.

Rebuilding squads takes time. It took Martinez several years to turn us into a bottom half side; it could take Ronald even longer than that to make us great again. We will get there eventually, though. Our new manager is a proven winner.

Keep the faith.

Point was a fair result if anything Palace probably shaded it. Actually not downhearted by that result, think we defended well and dealt with the aerial bombardment quiet well, Benteke's goal was great centre forward play, looked to me that Steklenburg was a bit flat footed for it but that would be nit-picking. Going forward we looked disjointed, Coleman actually looked our most dangerous outlet. We probably would have settled for this start if giving the choice at the start of season.New manager, new ideas.

Onwards and upwards

Funny thing is Evertonians were impatient in the early 80's aswell, Majority wanted rid of HK, thank god Philip Carter knew better.

Just back from the game, think we just about deserved a point tbh. Can't remember us creating much and our lack of movement is worrying. Not entirely sure what the game plan was tonight with Cleverley in there. Take a point in the end considering could easily have lost second half.
