Match Thread Crystal Palace v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Rook]

Thought the pen was harsh but he did seem to flick his hand out towards the ball.

if we win this 2-1 then just think of it as returning the 2 pts ManU will steal from us in the future.

 

[maccavennie]

Tough 1st half that. Need Doucoure to get proper stuck in and get a stranglehold in midfield for us. Every time we go forward we look a threat.

 

[Terrarian]

Good game fairly even, Palace have got dangerous forwards they'll do well this year, not their usual relegation battle if you ask me. Gomes and James passing that half the difference.

 

[BlueTX]

Bit loose with the ball in the midfield this match but Palace work hard. Keane looks good distributing the ball. Kinda surprised we are not doing much up the left side with Digne and Richarlison.

James off iwobi on

I’ll fight you

 

[Zatara]

Why are Palace players just throwing themselves to the floor?

They are putting in so much effort but, especially when they come down our left theyre surrounded and muscled out.

We need to score next and put this to bed.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Good first half. We knew this wasn't going to be an easy match but the team has played well!

I think we tend to do better second half, so I’m happy to go in with a lead after maybe not being quite at our best.

 

[Death]

5 in 3 games for Dom

3 in 2 for Rich

Top four level stats.. at the least

 

[Chegsy]

Think we have contained them well. More goals in it for us. Their midfield pairing are struggling and one is booked.

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

Jimmy Mac's had a good game here.

 

[Tiny Timmy]

That pen was soft as butter. No doubt we'll cop one of those against a top side so take what we get really

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Fortunate to be leading tbh. I’ll take it like. Feel like we’ll need to score at least 1 more to win.

 

[Prevenger17]

No idea how that penalty was controversial. His hand was out in the path of the ball

 

[Bullens Rd]

Thought Digne was our penalty taker tbf. Good hit though by Richi.

 

[Jim Hopper]

Eze looks Palaces stand out player here, very good with the ball at his feet and direct.
