Match Thread Crystal Palace 0-0 Everton, Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

Pickford, Mina, Keane = very good.
Rest were poor.

Second half was a mess. Kean left isolated when he came on thanks to Morgs' red leaving us unable to get up the pitch so a disappointing debut for him.

An away point and no goals conceded is proper Allardyce but better than losing.

I agree, I thought Gomes was doing well until the injury.

Gana we miss you.

Hopefully just unfit etc because my lord did JPG look out of his depth....

 

[trueblue84]

Feck me Gbamin was atrocious

Give him time. Not ideal match or circumstances to make your debut.

 

[kizzi]

jesus we had like 4 or 5 shots that were looking sure to go in

 

[zzebra]

Underwhelming but at least we didn't lose.

 

[BigBlueConk]

Good to see people blaming the ref again for our poor performance.
We could have had 12 men and not scored.

Truth is the ability of Everton to score goals and defend will determine where we finish.

 

[AUXLEN]

Yes, we didn't get beat but I was hoping/praying for something fresh and new (even Snods gave us short shrift)
yes, I realize I probably expected too much but that was a standard Everton performance and I wanted more this season.
I know it will take time but pity the fool that has hope! COYB at home!

 

[GlosBlue]

This forum is bipolar. First half it read like they were world beaters, second half we are scraping for 40 points.

Gbamin hasn’t played a single game with this lot yet and is expected to just drop straight in and boss things.

Knee-jerk central.

 

[blue1948]

Nice of Silva to give Kean a run out without needing to touch the ball ! Schneiderlin should be shown the door an experienced player getting sent off for stupid fouls AGAIN,not his first time at all.I thought Gbamin looked good and felt sorry for Kean M .We will play worse and win .

 

[efcbluearmy]

Schneiderlin this bloke is the worst of the worst, I would give away that fool for free.

I'm worried no one will take him even if we paid his wages in full. The most useless player I have ever seen.

 

[ADT]

Schneiderlin this bloke is the worst of the worst, I would give away that fool for free.

I feel like he was unlucky today. The first yellow was a complete farce and so was the second.

 

[BlueTX]

Last season early days we would have conceded 2 on corners/free kicks against these. Keep defending well and hope Iwobi and Kean add spark. COYB!!

 

[Niapper]

Looking back, Coleman should have slotted that big chance in the first half

 

[gonetomorrow]

Look out Watford! You're going to cop it next week!

 

[Half Time Bovril]

Some of the utter cr*p being sprayed on here about Gbammin is shameful. Said he wasn’t fit, playing in a gale, comes on as a sub, puts a couple of balls wrong and people are on his back calling him a pub player and poor. Nothing like giving the lad a chance - why do some of you even bother watching?

 

[Milkman]

Keane and Mina were superb. Coleman good as ever but still can't cross. Richarlison and Bernard good but a tad rusty. We weren't the same going forward once Gomes went off.

Schneiderlin was alright I thought. Gbamin looks good with his close control and possession play, but wanted too long on the ball a couple of times (as much players do on their first game in the PL).

Thought it was a mistake bringing DCL off, he was just growing into the game and was holding it up well.

Overall, a 6/10 performance and 8th is ours to consolidate now.
