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

[Sarnia Kevin]

I've got the volume turned down so that I can only hear Tyler burbling in the background, but I was amazed to hear him mention Stevie G, someone who has no connection to either team. Strange man.

 

[Abertonian]

These are the best players the manager has available.
And they are nowhere near good enough to turn this round.

Is it them or the system? We are going away to a team struggling to win and we want to sit back and hit them on the break. Will be the same tactics against Hull in the cup because it looks like its the same old same old no matter who we play. We don't have a good enough defence to do this every week. Maybe we should come out swinging.

 

[dublinbluenose]

I've no idea what we are trying to do. We're no discernable football identify. We're not really pressing, We're not really couter attacking, We're not trying to pass between the lines or around them.

Just meh.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Coleman had time to take a touch and clear it.. what was he thinking

 

[everton fan number one]

I would be angry, but I'm not convinced we're any better than Palace really.

 

[andy4efc]

Can’t stand everything this manager and this team are about.

 

[Sagar]

Can't get away with so many poor players playing togather, top that with injuries and thin squad. Can't wait for this season to get over. We will be better in the second half, sure about that.

This is why I hate c@nts like @Theoneandonly and @ForeverBlue92

Telling us things are changing? The only thing worse than Rafael's management is these [Poor language removed] clowns.

 

[Papa Shango]

Chelsea will sign him back for 60 mill next season haha

And still not play him.

Ah modern football eh?

 

[Clarky cat]

Putrid fc back at it again. That clearance by Coleman is Sunday morning stuff, Gray then brain farts. absolutely embarrassing.

 

[God Benfrey]

Oh shut the [Poor language removed] up.

I’m trying to illustrate a point that our team, individually, is not worse than Palace. And as a result, we are playing the wrong way today (absorbing pressure, giving up the ball, counter attack).

Wouldn’t expect you to understand to be fair.

Your heads gone mate , have a kitkat

Half time analysis

Bad day for a bad team with bad players.

Unless we have a half time miracle, second half will be more of the same.

That's exactly it.

It'd be nice if the moaning idiots on here just accepted we have a bunch of talentless cowards on the pitch instead of the he predictable agenda against a manager.

It harms the club tremendously because the blame and attention isn't on where it needs to be.

We're behind because Coleman and Delph are on the pitch when they 100% should not be.

 

[luuk_deventer]

Thought you said it was a terrible set up, with 3 in the middle, and that he’d bowed to pressure from armchair fans?

How is the set up nothing to do with the manager?

Don’t think it’s the set up is the issue.

Selhurst Park is a tough place to come for even the best teams. A point would not be a terrible outcome.

One loss of concentration and we are behind. As we were against Arsenal. We all know what happened there.

Most points won from losing positions in the league? Not a lot wrong with our mentality / resilience this season.

Stop sitting on the fence fella

 

[kenada_blue]

You all need to learn that this squad are useless. Until you do, your expectations are out of tune with reality.

We're one of the worst squads in this league. Accept it. It's nothing to do with Benitez.

Carlo did more with it that Benitez has.

We've conceded 14 more goals at this point of the season compared to last.
