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

[TheNinja]

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

Goal was scored, Everton sub, lots of players with cramp, shenanigans with punching Tarky etc etc... We all know by now that time wasted in stoppage time is added on exactly as it's wasted, whereas had all that stuff happened in the 45 minutes, they might only add on 2 of it.

 

[Seathestars]

Feel like i say this after every match but the ref was awful again

Glad I'm not the only one, he has spoilt my joy

 

[joebocop]

So frustrating how Moyes just doesn't seem to fancy a lot of the new signings

He started Barry and dibling today and they didn't really look up to it

 

[lieneverton]

Rode our luck there,a win's a win. But the cracks are still there. We could easily have been four behind before we scored.

Yep. Thrilled with the result, but that was daylight robbery and we have some fundamental issues.

Just hope we can look more coherent after the break, but morale wise that has to do wonders because things were just starting to turn after the early season optimism.

Alcaraz MoTM completly changed the dynamic of the game driving forwards and finding spaces.
Earned his spot back on the bench for the next game

Fantastic feeling to win that right on the eve of the next international break. Get Branthwaite & Rohl back in the fold and take it from there.

Moyes should also be looking at Alcaraz's performance in that second half and be handing him more minutes as well. He's been neglecting him for some odd reason.

 

[hallamblue]

It was good to see midfielders running beyond the striker in the last 30 minutes with Alcaraz and Iroebugnam, it makes things happen.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Thank God for Jack's instinctive finish because Beto should be bursting the net having had the freedom of the Hill Dick with that header.

 

[RAFUH]

At HT if you'd have told me there be 3 goals scored, I would have assumed a 3-0 end.

 

[Sadken]

Can't see us getting a draw now nevermind a win.

It's a funny old game.

 

[Toffeeslam]

Hope we don’t lose our momentum with yet another international break

Mate after 70 minutes of that game I’d welcome a international break

Credit to Moyes for finally realizing he needed to make an actual tactical change early enough in the game to let it actually make an impact.

 

[BigDunc'sFod]

I'll take a 2-1 win for the toffees here

We deserve absolutely nothing from this but I'm not even arsed

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

Alcaraz shown aggression which he does which we were lacking massively in the 1st half. I’m still pinching myself how we won. Huge for
Momentum

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

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

He was poor and christ knows where he got all those minutes from at the end.
