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

[Alan Whittle]

Neither team deserved to win. Neither team deserved to lose. Some really good play from both sides and some desperate stuff from both sides.
It was ever thus.

 

[Swartzy]

Creating chances, but gifting goals.

KDH caught once again without a single option around him

Happy for Beto, getting some real love from the fans..

What is the succession planning for our back four? Asking seriously.

…I was talking at CB. Tarkowski/Keane transitioning Branthwaite/O’Brien. Branthwaite is already first choice but my concern is his fragility. Also think you can see it in CM, Gueye won’t be here for much longer but we have Garner/Iroegbunam/KDH/Armstrong looking very decent longer term in that area.

Problem continues in both full back spots and central striker but I think that’s more about poor transfers than succession planning.

tried for tete, got kyboshed last second. was the first signing he tried.

And had almost all of the window remaining but just gave up on it. It was weird.

Sorry mate, but we should go the season unbeaten and concede no goals in the process

conjecture your honour. making things up.
a swap regarding patterson and some right back at sociedad or similar in la liga was tried for, but also failed last minute.

 

[Daytripper]

He is right, the last half hour especially

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner speaking to Sky Sports:

"I am pleased with the performance, especially in the second half. In the end, it felt like Everton played three days ago. We made so much pressure, created chances and missed a few.

"I am really proud of the team's effort today and the belief we had and also the mentality to play for a win. I think it was a huge performance."

He's right, and it's because we've flogged the same 13 or 14 players all season. We don't use our squad at all. KDH and Ndiaye have been real bright spots this season but they both look completely shattered.

It should've been a priority position. Every man and his dog could see it. Barring one, it seems.

So, you concede he tried twice then?

 

[Scally1878]

They were poor goals to concede I thought, especially the second.

 

[windymiller]

So, you concede he tried twice then?

He tried once right at the start of the window and there was an unconfirmed rumour for a player you can't name at the end of the window. I'll concede that. Will you concede that that doesn't seem like a "priority"?

Box to box stuff towards the end there, Al… Good game for the neutral to spectate, I’d imagine.

Well, especially against a team who had " clocked off" and were on the p*ss for 48 hours.
