I'm sorry to say but Harrison is better than young

My sweet lord......

Hardly a lash, almost passed it to JP

 

[MrGrumpy]

Bet we lose 1-0

 

[billybeeru]

I’m actually oddly optimistic that we’ll come out much better in the second half.

 

[lieneverton]

Genuinely don't get the Dyche love in. I have never seen an Everton side so inept at attacking play. And I mean ever. Even Walter Smith and his starting XIs containing 7 defenders were better than this.

It doesn't have to be even remotely close to fancy football, but there are zero runs, zero patterns of play. It's beyond abominable. All well and good improving our defence but we won't be staying up by scoring solely from set-pieces. Shocking stuff again. It is so clear they do zero work on attacking play.

I don't think there's much of a love in as such, it's more he's made small progress to make us harder to beat and has earned the chance to see what he can do.

He's still got credit in the bank imo given the absurd circumstances at the club and the fact we're clearly not as shambolic as we were under Lampard but he's going to have sharpen up and quick. Dreadful, dreadful half.

 

[Neiler]

Can't believe how highly this place rates Garner.

I thought he’s been our best player to be honest, low bar admittedly.

 

[Miked1e]

Get Young off and put Dobbin on at Half time.

Very very poor ---- this is a must win --- 3 points vital.
I,m no football manager --- but for goodness sake ---- suck these fools in ---- and hit em on the counter.
Calvert Lewin needs to earn his wages now.
Palace are awful --- 2-0 Everton --- the counter needs to be adopted pronto.

I didn’t know you could get the internet on a telegraph machine!

 

[The Blue Watch]

Only positive is that Palace are as grim as we are, so we’ve still got a chance to win here. Would require a change in plan and at least two subs though and I don’t think Dyche will do it

 

[NorthernBlue]

Just making the point that yes they’ve been poor but both shouldn’t even be on the pitch to begin with. It’s one thing if a player is playing crap but those lads have very obvious reasons for being so poor and the manager should’ve had the sense to realise it himself.

Lad gets paid a fortune so no excuses valid for me. Footy should be his release. Not even comparable to the real world slog.

 

[ForeverEverton]

McNeil has been back to the usual crap we saw from him when we signed him, none of our wingers give anything to this side, they are wingbacks to our back 6!

How can you move forward as a club when this is how the manager sets up, change as many players as you want but if this is their instructions nothing changes...

 

[witchdoc187]

Get some pace on and stick them in between their wide centre halves and wing back. It’s not rocket science that’s the place to attack.

What pace?

 

[maccavennie]

Useless manager with no plan B. Concede and we lose here because we don't look like scoring. Their keeper hasn't touched the ball has he apart from a few goal kicks? Embarrassing.

Yeah 100% of theybacore first here we won't be winning.

Utterly depressing half of football. Horrible to watch, absolutely horrible

 

[Tony1985]

Just once I hope he makes a couple of changes and actually goes after the game, Crystal Palace are terrible so there’s no need for all the defensive, route one stuff. We need points, go and get them ffs.

 

[blueconverse]

If young comes out at half time dyche needs sacking at 90 mins
