Match Thread Crystal Palace 1-2 Everton . Sat Feb 15th. 5.30pm.

The fact we had such a quick turnaround from a tough and exhausting match with the RS, I’m even more impressed with today’s grit performance.

100% this. Said to everyone on the way to/at the match I'd take anything today after Wednesday.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Alcatraz is going to be a star for us.

There’s no escaping that.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Reminded me of Portsmouth away early in Moyes first tenure, tough away ground, Cahill with the winner. If Alcaraz is half as good as him we are laughing.

Bobble said some of the players were playing through the pain barrier

Wonder who. Mykolenko and Garner?

Unlucky this evening Alan but trust you had a good night regardless

Thanks mate. “good” might be stretching a point but I appreciate the sentiment.

Remember that header very well. Was it a T-Hibs cross?

 

[Wat Tyler]

Remember that header very well. Was it a T-Hibs cross?

Might well have been, I remember Ferguson was playing and him and Cahill were having a laugh about not taking his top off after he was sent off for doing a Ravanelli at City few weeks before

 

[Rita_Poon]

Oh brilliant, the Alcaraz winner. They ALL reeled away like they'd scored it.

I’ve never seen a more remarkable turnaround at everton, and struggling to think of a better one in english football in recent memory, maybe emery at villa

club is transformed, all these players that looked below par or we didnt even get to see play are looking like very good footballers with great characters

there’s a proper spirit in this side. I’m getting 08/09 vibes where no matter who was missing or injured, the team turned up every week and put in great performances with a mix of grit, discipline, skill and moments of brilliance

I’m in love with this team having 6 weeks ago only watching us purely because it was the last chances to go to Goodison

now I’m reading about us every day like a teenager, singing the terrace songs on my way to work, rewatching highlights and broadcasts on repeat. this is a special special time in the club’s recent history. and it’s down to Moyes

Even more remarkable when you think how threadbare our squad is.

So good

 

[Rita_Poon]

Lineker squeaked a 'game set match' pun in earlier.

It's going to be relentless isn't it.

There’s no escaping that.

It's a lock.
