Deluded

I can just imagine the conversation, Kinnear, "Now Davey, if we give you £120 million can you do as well as last season?" Davey, "You're crazy Angus, I'm not a miracle worker, how about 85% as well as last season?" Angus, "how about a couple of good cup runs then Davey?" Davey, "League's the only thing that matters Angus, I'm not putting that at risk". Angus stares into the distance, thinks maybe Bielsa wasn't so crazy after all.

Two changes from Thursday for Palace. Strand Larsen and Brennan Johnson starts, Mateta and Pino on the bench.
( ignore the errors above, Palace that.)

I am hoping Everton play like we had the week off, and not act like it was us that played Thursday - Not you, as a lot of the time we do

Honestly, it’d be less painful if we just bottled Europe today.
Better than dragging this hope all the way to the final day just to have our hearts ripped out again.
Typical Everton, isn't it?"

Looks up Jefferson Lerma's stats. Yep, never scored against Everton. You know what's coming...

Surprised we didn't keep Barry in after the goals tbh, but good to see Tim and Rohl again

 

[jazzy]

Thought that Palace were going to play a weakened team and that they were all still in the pub.

We need our asses kicking if you don't get 3 points here

 

[jceverton]

You know other teams spend money too? They don’t just stand still.

, if only we'd stood still instead of going backwards from last season.

He's more likely to get tickets for his Palace supporting mates in the Everton end.

I dont like that we are favourites today Dave. When you look at the two lineups i can easily see them beating us today. They have the likes of Wharton and Sarr and Strand Larssen and are at home.

So it's Garner at RB and O'Brien midfield

Right call for me. But i had the feeling Moyes would start hm because of that

No mate.

 

[Parker]

Not resting players in a game that means nothing to you...

Punish them Everton.

 

[MikeH72]

Full team for Palace.

 

[PhilM]

Full team for Palace.

I respect that. Many, including myself, thought they'd make a few changes to keep players fresh with Europe out of the way from a league position.

He must want them to keep playing to keep momentum, and potentially to stop their current league form.
