Match Thread Crystal Palace 2-2 Everton - Sunday 10th May 14:00

[Eggs]

…..wasted situations, wasted opportunity. Always felt we needed 3 goals and we should’ve got 3 goals.

Key players in Ndiaye and KDH look like their form is dropping off at a vital stage, the two CBs failed to defend their penalty area which is normall bread and butter for them. Standards dropping.

Needed to win 2 of the final 3 to stand a chance, now need to win the final 2 to stand a chance of Europe. Unlikely.

MoM difficult, probably Pickford, Beto and Iroegbunam the pick, I’ll go for Beto for scoring a terrific goal from nothing.

What an end of season fade from KDH, Ndiaye, Tarky. Tired legs?

That’s the reason if we don’t make Europe.

 

[hallamblue]

So difficult to play expansive, attacking football with old, slow CBs and not concede. Thought Jimmy, Illi, and Kiernan were all woeful today.

It's the hope that kills.

Well we have a young centre back but Moyes plays him at full back.

 

[blindbert]

Entertaining game IMO

Gave Tim MotM for some of his tackles and for that outstanding shot that nearly took out the corner flag.

Like for like replacement for Gana!

 

[gary stevens]

Really poor… How Illy and KDH stayed on for 90 is beyond me. Left enormous space for Garner and Tim to cover. Something needs to be done with our centre backs as well…

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Wtf no

If you can’t say a game full of back and forth action is a good match then I don’t know what is!

 

[blueconverse]

We played a 6 foot 6 centre back at right back for a full season. Moyes and recruitment team, at the time, should be sacked for that alone.

 

[Drunken McKenzie]

It is nonsense to say that the season is over and that we can't qualify for Europe. We are 2 points behind 8th place with 2 matches to go. Get a grip.

The first team is good but the squad is very weak. We’re a lower mid table team, so are doing pretty well. We’re lacking in too many areas.

Pretty much every team on the league has players of a decent standard. I mean, West Ham have guys like Bowen, Spurs have a decent squad.

It’s just a realistic assessment of where we are as we try and build ourselves back up.

You didn't really answer my question but, reading between the lines, you don't think anyone has a worse team than us? It's a bold position to take, or is it a construct so you can say garbage like that today is a great achievement by your hero?

mateta did.

Any bog standard striker can and does

Key players in Ndiaye and KDH look like they’re form is dropping off at a vital stage, the two CBs failed to defend their penalty area which is normall bread and butter for them.

Need to win 2 of the final 3 to stand a chance, still need to win 2 of the final 3 to stand a chance of Europe.

MoM difficult, probably Pickford, Beto and Iroegbunam the pick, I’ll go for Beto for scoring a terrific goal from nothing.

N'diaye and KDH are tired because they play every minute of every game because our manager doesn't use his squad.

 

[pwhak88]

I think somewhere between 12th and 8th is our current level

Better than it’s been but still a ways to go, and Moyes might not be the answer if we want to take the next step up

He needs quality, a kitty and time to gel a squad together.
We don't have that quality right now.

It is nonsense to say that the season is over and that we can't qualify for Europe. We are 2 points behind 8th place with 2 matches to go. Get a grip.

I wouldn’t like to be with some of these guys in the trenches!!!

 

[johnjoeefc]

KDH, Garner and Ndiaye all were not on it today and when that is the case its likely we wont win in a tough away match

 

[Miked1e]

Let’s face it…. We aren’t a great team.
