Palace haven't won at home against us for 23 years and haven't even scored against us at home for 13 years!

And so it continues.

 

[Nymzee]

13pts from last 18 available.

Great result and a laboured win but I have the faith in Koeman to recognise this and put it right. The tightness at the back has made a springboard for our wins recently. Still not pretty football but becoming very effective. Special praise for Robles....he looks like he is becoming a good keeper. He made some fine saves but the stand out for me is the fact he is coming off his line to pluck the ball out of the air regular. This is such a pressure release off the defence.

 

[blulouie]

Good win that today.
Thats only 5 points off 6th placed Man Utd.....can we catch them ? Only 6 off City as well.

 

[Onwards Evertonians]

There's so much fight in the team now, we were getting stuck in to everything today and it's really refreshing to see. That's more like it blues!!! Buzzing for two weekends in a row, I could get used to this.

 

[Stutheblue]

Always tough against Palace. Would like to beat them at home one day too

 

[Sharpattack]

Great weekend.
The [Poor language removed] lose, we win, fat Sam with a face on him.
The missus will deffo get her share tonight.

 

[Old Blue 2]

Buzzed off that Schlupp there, he cost his team the game sitting on his ring piece wanting the game stopped. what a bell, Made that goal even better for me.

On Sky, Kamara mentioned that Spam Allerdyce was going mental because we didn't kick the ball out of play. Jeff Stelling simply said, when it came back to him, that Everton were under no obligation to put the ball out of play. Well said, Jeff!

 

[Bubba]

They are now playing in Koemans system and it shows

So glad that 4231 is out

 

[Zatara]

Good win. I have to be honest though, I don't get the Holgate love. He seems like a liability defensively, especially against physical strikers.

Very good today.

 

[Stutheblue]

Good win that today.
Thats only 5 points off 6th placed Man Utd.....can we catch them ? Only 6 off City as well.

Think it'll be very tough. Probably have to beat them at Old Trafford and that game comes 3 days after The Derby.

 

[KUEFC09U2]

I'm sure schlupp rolled back onto the pitch. We was right to carry on.

Doesn't really matter anyway does it? Ref only has to stop if head injury?

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Yesssssss. Dominated that game blues!

Robles with a mega save from Danns header to keep us at 0-0.

Lovely assist from Davies who I honestly thought was tiring a little towards the 70-80th minute mark, emphatic colemanesque finish too.

Two wins on the bounce and closing on those shoves us.

Ohhh Everton you got me singing the blues!

3 wins on the bounce in the league.

A couple of games ago we were 9 points behind Utd who were in 6th. Now we're 9 points behind the rs who are 3rd (4th if/when Arsenal win).

Looking a lot healthier.

He only made two saves, I think they only had two on target.i know what you mean though his clean sheet record must be excellent. I thought we bossed the game.
