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

Hilarious. But we were well overdue one of these.

Much better with Alcaraz and even Tim in the middle of the park. Stopped being cut open by the most basic forward pass and were capable of bringing the ball forward. Don’t know what the long term answer is but who cares right now, we’ll pocket that win and sail off into the sunset.

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

The balance was so much better. Funny old game.

 

[Mr PEN86]

Alcaraz was absolutely colossal there

Yeah immense. My concern is that a lot of these players are cameo players. Give them 35-40mins but indifferent when they start. Beto a lot better too. Probably should've scored

Anyone got the Grealish goal..... in work xxx

 

[OlDirtyBluenose]

Well I, for one, am off to go get pissed.

I'll drink to that!

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

At least he headed it with plenty of power.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Very good to still be unbeaten at home. We can't have similar to the last years at Goodison where teams could come in and get results playing nowhere near their best.

Even if we aren't playing well, we need to be very tough to beat at home.

 

[TrixyStevens]

That is some win. Up to 7th.

 

[TGW89]

Guys. I just lobbed a tissue at the bin and said to myself "if this goes in we'll win"... and it went in.

Now just sit back and watch us pound the Eagles into submission.

The bin never lies.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Bless him. Sounds choked up, our Jack.

 

[bullybeef]

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

Agree but he didn’t do himself any favours in that league cup defeat at Wolves.

 

[Davideeyore]

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

 

[GoldenToffee]

Iroegbunam did really well against tiring legs imo. Alcaraz made a difference, and Beto unsurprisingly put himself about so much more than lazy arse Barry.

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

Alcaraz gamechanger. Thats how you fight for a place in the team. Hope Moyes learned his lesson today
