Match Thread Everton 2-1 Crystal Palace. Sun Oct 5th. 2pm

Fully deserved.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Aye Aye Aye.
Well in Lids. Good subs by Moyes at HT. Too little use of subs by Glasner. Lacroix’s lazy attempt for the penalty an example of that. If we got 2 up at any point I think we would have won (I would say that of course).
I’m glad that unbeaten monkey is off our back and if it had to be anybody……

Not sure how Beto doesn’t score that header but credit to him, full of energy and intensity which was greatly needed.

 

[Parker]

Alcaraz was absolutely colossal there

 

[johnjoeefc]

What a difference that makes. Had we lost i can imagine it all being Moyes out etc. But now its sky's the limit and positivity all back. Strange old game

 

[Mr PEN86]

Honourable shoutout to Timmy who did well when he came on.

 

[marrowfatpeas]

How on earth did we win that game. Don't get me wrong, I'm delighted. But football wise they were in a different league to us. But we showed plenty of spirit and I'm made up with the 3 points

Maybe

But we've also only lost to current champions and lost on the first game of the season which often throws up odd results.

Maybe it's time we realise we are not easy to beat either. We've beaten a couple of very handy teams at our place in Brighton and Palace.

Today showed we are learning how to win while not playing that well. That's what successful sides do.

Credit to Moyes for the changes at HT. No messing about after that first 45. Subs changed the game massively.

Correct

 

[Joey66]

Dick Turpin FC - Alcaraz changed the game plus a presence upfront Beto did well - OBrien looked good at CB - Pickford saved us in thd first half plus that missed chance - Wharton how did we not sign him from Blackburn ?.

 

[brownmola]

Glad Moyes didn’t wait until the 65th minute to make changes.

 

[mezzrow]

Just getting here. Did that actually all happen this way?

This never happens this way, you know. Not in this century, anyway.

 

[HappyJack]

Alcaraz and Beto lively.
Even at home we have the ref bias to cope with…

 

[witchdoc187]

Overeactions, Overeactions, really? You're either takin the pi££ mate or you're very easily pleased. That was shocking.

I just understand football match is 90mins long. "Moyes out" shouts at half time are pathetic- not from you. Today was an excellent 2nd half performance and a excellent 3 points against a very good side.

 

[Yankfootball1]

Alcaraz turned the volume up and Beto danced to his tune.

Play them both every game ffs

Alcarez should be playing every game - Criminal how little he is used

Two decent full backs and a consistent 1 in 3 striker (hard to find I know) away from being very competitive. Wonder what we have left in the Friedkin bank for January. If we are in this kind of position in the league we may be more likely to get them over the line this time around.
