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

[Mr PEN86]

We deserved to lose. We were shocking today. Of course if Gordon put his chance away we pull level. I still feel Benitez needs time but his past affiliations will always create divisions in the fanbase and the decision to take off Richy that early had to come off for him. It hasn't with regards to the result and this just piles on the pressure and those Rafael out chants only going to get louder. Chelsea next. Happy Xmas everyone ?

Coleman has to stop playing

He already did, 2 and a half years ago

3-1 Palace. This is how bad we are.

Turns out Monday was a blip. No corner was turned.

Arsenal will be wondering how they lost to this pile of dross.

It is going to be a fun relegation fight.
Norwich and Burnley will catch us by new year. Newcastle not long after.

Unless something changes quickly.

...what?

Nobody is saving that! It was a brilliant strike.

Not denying it was a decent strike but, it wasn’t a complete worldie that was bang in the top corner. Watch the replay, Pickfords view wasn’t blocked and he was stood in that corner of the goal, it’s literally gone straight over his head whilst he’s standing a couple of yards off his line.

 

[Papa Shango]

imagine if the players didn’t get paid if they lose, I think we would see a different result.

I don't, they are just crap, a massively unbalanced squad

 

[Half Time Bovril]

In hindsight we should've stuck with the 4231 from last week

In hindsight we should’ve stuck with Allardyce ?

 

[Caolam]

I have to say I expected Palace to beat us today. You can’t expect our lot to put an effort in twice in the same month.

 

[R.Reddington]

11,goals from set pieces .......this season ......a corner is like giving a pen away .....

It’s funny how we were so solid last season from set pieces under Carlo, to this…

 

[AndyKing58]

How can a professional footballer take a free kick and pass it directly to the opposition forward? I mean he could have passed it anywhere, but chooses to try and be a clever arse and plays it through the Palace player. Utter brainless yet again.

It's Everton mate, nothing surprises me anymore.

 

[Professor Toffee]

He was losing his rag with Benteke and tried to boot it against him, and missed.
Its pathetic no matter how you look at it.

Benteke was obstructing him so should have been a booking and a retake

 

[MockBu4]

Has he though ?

no, he didn't, as he obviously wanted to start as quick as possible,
the third goal matters little, especially when you don't capitalize on so little that you create, we threw away 2 golden score opportunities in the last quarter so I doubted we could create the third one and finish it properly.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Fair play @Alan Whittle ...

I'll have to take your word for that, I aint watching that crap again if I can help it!

 

[NathDogg]

Fair play to palace, they shithoused us good and proper, ably assisted by the absolute farce of a ref.

They were also the better side like, but we played right into their hands - the richarlison sub was baffling for me.

Coleman had to make sure he hits the player to even have a chance toget the free kick with the ref, but to miss from a yard it stupendously awful - sad to see him still trying to compete in this league, he was finished about 2 years ago.
