Match Thread Crystal Palace v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Papa Shango]

That sounds totally likely, and totally Martinez.

Totally on Tim Howard that one. We were battering them, they barely touched the ball then Howard makes a mistake and Palace all of a sudden turn into Brazil 70.

I was FUMING that day.

Referee: Kevin Friend.
Assistants: Simon Beck, Eddie Smart.
Fourth official: Gavin Ward.
VAR: Anthony Taylor.
Assistant VAR: Gary Beswick.

Mr Friend, as has been said here many times before, has not been one to Everton.

I like to think I'm generally quite level-headed about refs, what goes around comes around in terms of decisions etc.

But this guy genuinely hates us. My least favourite ref of all time, bar none.

Everton win with James scoring and my weekend is paid for.

Don't let me down, you sexy Colombian.

I heard the DART to Bray was packed last Sunday

Went on DART for my one and only time back in 2004 during a golf visit to Bray. Took an age to get into Dublin, the most inappropriately named transport system ever

9 points from 9 would be a superb platform to build on.

Fully expecting a tough game though.

Roy is a gentleman, truly sporting, and a thoroughly nice bloke.

Little surprise the RS hate him, and have expunged him from their official history.

I hope we ruin his Saturday and he spends Sunday under a tartan blanket drinking sugary tea recovering from the drubbing he's been given by James and the boys.

 

[Alan Whittle]

How is Eberechi Eze settling in? heard good things about him, but haven't seen him. Could he be the danger man if we concentrate too much on nullifying Zaha?

He has started on the bench but come on in both games to date. Obviously good going forward but noticeable tat Roy has already drilled into him his defensive duties. Didn’t miss a beat at Old Trafford.

I was right about DCL (scoring 2 or 3) last week and also Richarlison (scoring a couple) midweek.

They both score tomorrow in a 3-1 victory.

Palace were excellent against United. If they play like that again we'll have big problems. They'll burn Keane and Mina for pace easily.

Hopefully Carlo can come up with some tactical masterclass to protect them, or we'll just continue the trend of outscoring anyone who bothers us.

Too young for Clattenberg the Corrupt then?

Can't get much better than that to be fair.

I know Hated him being their Manager because you can't help but like him. Decent Chap!
