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

[Simo]

Still no Alcaraz

Exactly

 

[Thomasc]

Going to give it a try, but I’m so bored of PL football and all the nonsense around it, it could be getting binned off quite early.

 

[Telford-Feb-85]

Who are you dropping for Alcaraz?

 

[Toffeelover]

Palace have had hardly any time to prepare for this; they'll struggle late on for sure.

Absolutely no reason why we shouldn't win this one today. Let's not over-inflate them as an opponent.

Or us as the home team !

 

[Swartzy]

Get the bloody negativity out of here, I can already feel it creeping in..

Stop it, this is what we all wanted to see and Moyes has adhered to it..

I'm the same, the 'product' is a soap opera rather than a sport now

 

[Nymzee]

Still no Alcaraz

Who are you dropping for him today?

 

[RalphDring]

Happy with that line up, think we could get a good result today.

2-1, Barry and Keano on the score sheet.

 

[Chozz]

If Branthwaite, Rohl and KDH were on that bench, would you still call it weak?

Branthwaite and KDH wouldn't be on the bench if they were available would they? Having two right backs on your bench is odd when playing a centre back at right back. Our youth system is not producing any talent. We have addressed a few positions but there are some glaring gaps.

 

[Chozz]

Would love to see Barry score today and see how his confidence get a boost

Okay so Branthwaite and KDH are back, Keane and Dibling drop to the bench with Rohl.

Is that still a weak PL bench?

 

[Chozz]

Any one knows how Palace have been getting on for the last 20 games or so?

Pretty well dude. Won an FA Cup, Charity Shield and most recently won 2-0 at Dynamo Kiev. Unbeaten in the league. Oh humbled the reigning champs.

 

[Joey66]

I said he's lightweight last season. But how does that contradict me saying he's better off the bench playing against a tiring opposition? Surely that underlines my original comment/assessment?

A lightweight who scores ....
