Match Thread Everton 2-1 Crystal Palace. Sun Oct 5th. 2pm

[Tommy Chong]

Why do we have to always sacrifice an entire half or be losing to play with conviction? We have to be aggressive all match long.

But there's no point in playing with conviction if we don't bury our chances.

That seems to be the most infuriating thing about us at the moment.

For me Gana needs replacing just as much as the full backs.

I'm assuming they're hoping Rohl is his natural successor. If we ever see him again...

 

[Joey66]

They are cutting through us like a knife through butter we are outnumbered in midfield can't DM see that ?

 

[LinekersLegs]

No idea why Alcaraz hadn’t had more minutes this season

 

[windymiller]

Been our best player today tbf

Without Pickford we'd easily be 3-0 down. How anyone can pick anybody other than Pickford as our best player today, I can't fathom.

That attack by palace.

That’s how you are supposed to attack.

We aren’t capable of it.

They’ve got two wing backs that play as forwards and we have a 6’7” centre back as one of ours.

Recruitment, recruitment, recruitment.

 

[wellillwill]

We're going to break Jack Grealish aren't we

Going to? May have already happened.

 

[Davideeyore]

Failing in the last 3rd

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Whisper it, but Gueye has been a liability more often than not this season.

 

[Efcjake]

Cannot play four passes in a row

 

[GoldenToffee]

Sadly it looks like Gueye is nowhere near the player he was last season. Been so, so poor in recent weeks.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

DCL standard

 

[DanEFC92]

Been so so poor.

 

[COYB75]

That attack by palace.

That’s how you are supposed to attack.

We aren’t capable of it.

They have pace, we have none.

 

[LinekersLegs]

Well done O’Brien
