fantastic result that

it was also odd feeling more confident about the game when they'd not been beaten in 18 games rather than them not having won in 18

Gotta say, Beto has done amazing there to not score with that header free from there. Lottery ticket stuff.

It hit the keepers legs. Honest to God. And we scored from the mayhem that it caused. Try getting off the lads back

I voted Jimmy Garner motm, it's certainly his best run of form since he's been on the books.
Strange to point out but there were a couple of good performances in what was a very dodgy game. Alcaraz, Tarks, Pickford and Keane all were decent imo.

Honestly, I liked when Garner shoved a player to the ground with one arm. And then continued to yell at him. I love that grit.

Just got home, what a game of two halves. Alcaraz sub was the turning point and apart from one Beto blunder that put them in on goal, he played quite well.

Ref was atrocious. How can you book Garner for pushing a player out of the way who was in his face for a good minute and wouldn’t move to allow the freekick. And then booked Moyes

Particularly when you show no card to someone who did a sly punch to a gut?!

I mean it wasn’t the hardest punch in the world, and Tarks didn’t make a meal of it like some would, but it was still a punch!

If we can sort out the Jekyll and Hyde performances we could really make a mark on the league.

The ref added more time on the extra time than the other clown added on for the whole game against the RS.

There was no need for Ille’s cramp blag, you could see it was p155ing the ref off and he was only going to add more on then

Definitely the most improved player this season so far

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

He was excellent.

Barely a word about it either.

We got away with a result there, could easily have been 3/4 down, but there will be games we will get nothing when we should, have to say the officiating was awful for both teams, definitely a win we badly needed and will hopefully instill a bit of confidence in the team

Just been on the palace forums for a nose, they are a salty bunch & they really seem to hate us.
Comments like why did we have to lose to THEM

There match thread here if anyone wants a laugh

"Maybe we needed bring back down to earth. But Everton. A scabby 2nd class team in a grand stadium, a s*** team with awful entitled fans. I’d rather lose to Brighton."

At least they like the stadium

Bruno fernandes for example is making a meal of that and getting him sent off.

Definitely. I think Moyes would like to play him at right back but he's just been far too effective in that midfield that we can't do without him there

If Tarks goes down there, the lad gets a red card, no doubt in my mind.
