HT Everton 0 - 1 Palace.

 

[Mr PEN86]

Nothing has worked. Honestly think we should put Alcaraz up top. Barry and Beto won't impact this game anymore than he would. Marked Grealish out the game. Dibling a pedestrian. Garner best on the pitch again

 

[TheBigIguana]

Way too much overplaying from us at the moment.

Gana seems to be the weak link in th team losing the ball or possession inviting them onto us.

Barry on his own isnt fair on the lad, gets chuff all service again

The weak link is Mykolenko. Palace are allowing us to funnel possession to him.

 

[Bristol Blue]

Well that was a disgusting effort. F’ing embarrassing

 

[dixienormous]

Gloucester v Northampton starting on TNT soon. Very tempting...

 

[Verbal Kint]

Keane has saved us numerous times. Playing against this system requires players comfortable on the ball in tight spaces. Gana, O Brien and Myko, Palace are letting those 3 have it all day. They just won't hurt them.

Ndiaye needs to come deep and pick up the ball. When the fullbacks pass to Grealish/Dibling there's no one in the space inside to pass to, ends up going back to the CBs.

Keane and Pickford the best performers so far.

 

[Bebeto]

6 days to prepare vs 60 hours
Shameful

100% this is in moyes and the recruitment team...the window was poor. Grealish is back being average and teams have worked out how to play against him. Moyes should be under pressure if we lost today and rightly so.

 

[Goat]

Also fun that Dibling isn’t in the game and Ndiaye is lost but we can’t just play Alcaraz

You are obsessed with him!

 

[daza_1973]

Are the american overlords there today?

 

[windymiller]

We somehow simultaneously have no pace, no muscle and no dynamism in midfield. We don't put any pressure on the ball anywhere on the pitch. It's going to be another season of treading water.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

I wish I could agree, but we're not just a few early passes from bringing out the best in Barry. He needs to show so much more.

He does. Everyone wants him to do well but he's shown zilch so far. Confidence is through the floor.

 

[bullybeef]

I’m not sure what the answers are but with every game that passes there are certainly more questions.

 

[HappyJack]

I cant see any logic when we get the ball. Invariably goes sideways between Gana and Garner. Yoh cant win games without a solid defence or goalscorers…

Lucky to have 0 tbh

No link up play.

Outnumbered in midfield predicted it 4 v 2 our two chasing shadows
