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

[Sheedy's right knee.]

I thought we conceded the space in midfield.2nd half, Sat deep allowing them to dictate. then ended up hanging on. We played like a team not wanting to lose instead of a team who needed a win. Tarique George should have been on earlier. I would have kept Beto on too. I thought he was our best player

Tim motm, Gana doesn't need to be kept.

Such a frustrating end of season with points dropped from winning positions. Our league position such be much much better. Id love to see JOB and JB as first choice centre backs next year, we could play 5 yards further up the pitch then. The amount of goals we concede with our defenders stuck on the six yard box is criminal. Tarky just drops back constantly

That's because his legs went 2 years ago and then he got a serious injury as well meaning he's even slower, and he wasn't quick to start with!

Hes got to get away from this crap dinosaur of a manager.

Hope we sell him for his own good.

Moyes keeping his favourites on today while others would have been dragged off at half time.

MOYES OUT

Ridiculous comments again not everything right but look at against previous recent seasons

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

I don't think you are an objective analyst, frankly. You're an apologist for a coward and a dinosaur.

That’s your opinion. I disagree, but

 

[windymiller]

How does that work? You get better players if in Europe

The OP will write off next season too blaming our inability to get quality players in, not being able to join the dots.

 

[Zatara]

Alcaraz is crap, is the truth. Nowhere near the required standard.

Get in the bin

…..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.

Spot on, although KDH put a shift in. We had enough chances to win three games there. CB’s asleep for their second. Barry looked sharp too.

 

[captainvindaloo]

Substitution decisions are not based in reality. Moyes needs to explain this in the next presser.

 

[windymiller]

That’s your opinion. I disagree, but

Your username is literally JobForTheMoyes. Screams objectivity on the subject of David Moyes, that.

 

[Abraders]

Glad that Rohl started again. He will be a great acquisition in the long run.

Barry is [Poor language removed] still and beto is king

 

[Blue Neon]

Alcaraz comes on 94th minute for 1 minute. No wonder he feels miffed. Don't get it!

 

[Rita_Poon]

Moyes said he would consider using Beto and Barry together if we needed to go for it. Not very easy to do that when you take one off for the other based purely on the time on the clock as usual.

We've played about half the games Palace have this season as well, should be running them into the ground.

I am the only one a bit underwhelmed with N'Diaye on the whole - clearly has talent and looks good on the ball but does not consistently deliver when it matters most.

might be pressure, 'cos he knows to well that no one else is deep in the goals so it's him or bust?

 

[Who's_up_for_cumpkins?]

And some of us might have overlooked centre half as a priority in the summer. Hell no it's right up there. Those two need bombing out next season.

Shockingly bad midfield in the second half, no press, no ball-winning, just dropping into lanes rather than challenging. But despite all that we could have won had we converted chances (and Palace could have easily won had they converted theirs).

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Get in the bin

He gives the ball away in dangerous areas, fails to make the right passes and last week failed to press out and stop a shot that cost us what could be a crucial couple of points.

I’m sure he’s a nice fellow, but I fail to see why some think he’s such a good player. He has some ability, but you need more than that at the top level.
