Honest to God, I can't believe we won.

Same mate. Didn’t deserve it either but 3pts heading into an international break is absolutely magic.

 

[KevMirallas]

Would you move Garner though? Thought he was decent in midfield.

I don’t know. Thought he was part of the problem in the first half for sure. His best games this season have been at fullback.

Bigger issue is the signs of decline in Gana, but that is not a conversation for the day of a Jack Grealish 94th minute winner.

Credit where it’s due. Mystic Mog got this one bang on.

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

It was a brilliant header and down to the ground which puts Henderson on the deck, Grealishs block benefitted from ti

What channel is the post match stuff on?

Feel like that’s a proper baptism for the Hill Dickie

 

[ToffeeTim]

Similar game to last season v Palace at Goodison IIRC

We were behind and well off the pace at the break but won 2-1, when we probably only deserved a draw.

 

[Parker]

There's something so Everton about the fact that Grealish's 1st goal for Everton, a player with all the technical ability in the world, is a blocked clearance

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Moyes or the club need to say something about that ref.
Not just a little cryarse either, 'kin complain about the see you next Tuesday

He wasn’t that bad. Gave a penalty and booked them a fair amount. Far from the worst we’ve had lately.

 

[Lob]

Much better in the second half. Actually looked like they wanted to win. Well done blues.

FT: Everton 2-1 Crystal Palace

Alex Bruce
Former Hull defender on BBC Radio 5 Live at Hill Dickinson Stadium

Absolutely fantastic. A game of two halves. Palace by far the better team in the first half. They had chances to put the game to bed and they paid the price.

David Moyes deserves a lot of credit for that second half performance - they were like a different team in the second half.

 

[Simon Buttle]

Have to say well done to all involved today. We started off so, so poor during the first half of the game and were getting tactically schooled in a big way by Palace, we just didn't have an answer to anything they offered and couldn't get any kind of control of the ball. Made 2 changes at half time which were needed, Barry had shown a few touches but not much else, and similar with Dibling. We came crashing out the blocks initially in the second half but still to no real avail then finally we get a rare breakthrough, which lifted the crowd and clearly the players and we finished the job. A good result today no doubt but we need to do something about these weird 50/50 performances we seem to be having imo.

Feel like I've just had a conk full of Dickie... COYMFB!!!!

 

[W84 Dum Freeze]

Great spirit to turn it around, well played 2nd half.
