Match Thread Crystal Palace vs Everton, 18/11/2017. KO @ 3pm GMT.

[Cels]

We've had two good ex-defenders in Koeman and Unsworth Coaching us; yet for some reason, we can't defend... 3-0 to Palace.

Flora Sandes, maybe 10-15 minute walk from station. Better at Thornton Heath if you can get there but very rarely any "excitement" in either. Have a good trip.

Thanks, I think we may end up leaving Victoria as late as possible and having a few there.

Saturday, 3.00pm? Wowzers.

There hasn't been a Saturday 3.00pm at Goodison for a Palace match since August 1997. There have been 5 league games since then.

With Zaha, I just don't think we can afford to be too narrow. I think we have to give them something to think about on the flanks.

yeah exactly, can see the game bypassing the centre mids of both sides

They are strong on the wings we need a line up that protects the full backs and central defenders.

Pickford
Kenny Keane Jags Baines
Gana Beni
Lennon. Sig. Niasse
DCL

Gents, where will majority toffees be meeting for an alcoholic beverage pre match?

The Lisbon.

It's just 10/15 minutes behind the Away end. Just got to go round the bend, over the road and you'll find the hole.

Benteke is back?Jeez we have problems

 

[marsh]

1-1

 

[billyblue80]

Rooney shouldn't be anywhere near the starting eleven

 

[Billy Dean]

Not confident at all about this one

 

[Chris O'Connor]

I'm dreading the Royle-Unsworth team announcement and no Vlasic two number tens and no idea.

Palace have improved despite a horrendous fixture list and beat Chelsea as well as restricting Spurs last game week. Zaha and Benteke against the type of team Joe Royle/Unsworth have been picking just spells trouble.

3-0 Palace

All this talk of Unsworth being Joe Royle's man just fills me with dread, I really fear keeping them on for much longer.

A bad defeat and even a temporary six month manager might seem better than them.

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

I wasn't confident about this game until I saw that Lawro predicted Palace to win 2-1.

So, Everton to win 2-1.
