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

[f.t.r.s]

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

Might not have a choice...

We got a decent record against Palace in recent years, long may it continue

 

[Bwana]

Some absolutely shameful shouts in here before half time.

And for a reason.

Win is a win, I don’t understand why he never plays Alcarez. The amount of times we pass it back to Pickford is shocking. Thought Tim did well when he came on. We will be better when we get a right back playing and a decent left back

Maybe, he's better a right back than O'Brien as he's more mobile, better on the ball & probably depends better (from that position in one on ones and such )

Pickford MoM for me, kept the score respectable with some good saves in the first half, the game could have got away from us.

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

Yeah thats enough for me now. TV off.
We aint getting a shot on target in this one. Waste of time

 

[Sharpies volley]

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.

You're right but only for O'brien quick thinking and Mateta missing an absolute sitter they would have been home and hosed.

 

[Seathestars]

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

5 minutes on top of 8, where did that come from.
He was an absolute dick

 

[PITA]

What ?

Just someone who has to have a go at Beto for no reason.

 

[deipnosophist]

A lot of Injury time...I suspect the 'mere' 3 min addition vs you know who will prove an extraordinary outlier.

But great result ...we are to Crystal Palace what Bournemouth are to us...a real bogey team ( or, as the Germans call it, an angstgegner)

 

[TyphooToffee]

Based on the second half, think we deserve the win tbh.

Can't we play the second half first in future?

 

[dixienormous]

Living down south and working around loads of Palace fans...can't wait for work tomorrow

What a way to finish the game. We’ve been lacking some really exciting moments in recent years. Was brilliant that
