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

[Marcus Kendall]

The bulk of our squad is average, average equals midtable, we wont improve unless we get more quality, but like moyes said, they all want european footy.

Same with most sides around us in truth. A few stand out players surrounded by all round averageness

 

[JammyP]

Beto goal was tremendous. Just do that every week.
Pickford throw to Garner memorable.
But Röhl for me. Precise and never stopped, end to end.

So many missed chances

Another respectable result which doesn't do much for us unfortunately. A perfectly fine season but there needs to be a plan to recruit match winners.

The right decisions need to be made in the summer if Moyes wants to keep the job long term, i never wanna see keane and tarkowski play together again next season.

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

Yep. Those two in the middle have been poor together for a while now. O'Brien has to start there. Put Garner in at RB.

He won't do it - he loves Keane.

I thought palace wanted it more they had more energy than us in second half

 

[Marcus Kendall]

Lost me? Compare what to previous seasons?

Weve brought in players the manager doesnt use.

Weve got a manager who only wants to play the same 11.

Were a negative team with a cowardlike mindset.

Moyes last season set us up to play quick and direct. Its now boring and mostly ineffective.

Weve taken a big step back from his play last to this season while spending £150mil for no player development

The goal difference is telling about why Moyes isn't the future.

 

[Daytripper]

Makes me wonder if they ever wanted Europe all along and talking about it was just some attempt to placate fans ambitions. Palace wanted it more in that last twenty minutes.

We can’t seem to retain the ball with any cohesion and any decent European side would beat us like they did under Moyes etc last time.

It’s still possible of course and footy has some mad turn of events but I would be shocked if they got a European place now.

And guess who got subbed.

Dave is just stupid.

There’s players in our team that are untouchable

Our big attacking players have let us down massively the past couple of weeks.

Nah, its been a team effort...if we keeping more clean sheets like we did earlier, two goals would be enough. Thing is it is all connected. Best defence is scoring goals and all that. We just dont really have an identity...great defensive team that scores on the counter attack?..not recently. I dont think we have a style of play. We rely on individual performances...Ily and KDH scoring those one on ones etc. As for a defence...it is what it is: a slow lumbering rb, a functioning lb who offers nothing going forward and two Burnley center backs who generally drop a clanger each a game. BIGGEST disappointment for me is, we have made

BIGGEST disappointment for me is, we have made zero progress in revamping our backline going into next season. Branthwaite appears to be injury prone, Keane and Tarks are locked up for next year, and then there is our fullbacks...lets not forget, we signed one of each last summer!

Can’t really blame Moyes too much today. Could've brought George on earlier but it's expected for him to be late making subs.

Once branthwaite got injured he probably should've tried Patterson or Garner at right-back and move O’Brien into centre-back, because the Tarkowski/Keane partnership hasn’t worked for over a decade.

I feel that these are all things he can and should take the blame for.

It's on him to take players off if they aren't performing (KDH,Ndiaye,Keane)

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Moyes doesn't want Europe. He doesn't take risks. He doesn't play together win.

** to

 

[jerseytoffee]

Too many players not on it today... KDH, Garner, Tim and Ndiaye, Rohl tried but isn't a right midfielder.

Really need a back four with two new full backs next season, with Branthwaite and O'Brien CBs

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Bottle job FC strike again

Bottle job Moyes strikes again.

 

[Holytrinity]

We mightn't. We haven't filled positions with decent players for years. Our sqad is small.

Meant squad

 

[brittcop1]

Quite. As it stands does 10th get Conference League?

If I'm honest I don't think we're really ready for it.
Palace have a better squad than us imo and still aren't safe from relegation.

Palace have a better MANAGER than us...
