Match Thread Everton 3-1 Crystal Palace - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Sheedy's right knee.]

We are getting the breaks at the moment. Hopefully we can kick on and get into Europe

It’s about time we had a couple of breaks.we were cruising at half time then the old anxieties crept in for a spell. Good decision to play 5 across midfield that limited Palace after a good spell from them.

Sadly have to swerve today, got a terrible cold and feel like I got no sleep, couch and quilt wins today for me.

But the good news is that we normally always win when I swerve a game, so silver lining.

Please dont go the Derby anyway hope Everton made you feel better after making you scared probably

 

[Archie Knox]

Total havoc and fragility from our back. Can't play out from the back with needless pass that kept getting intercepted, putting us in tonnes of pressure. If not for our fwds, we could have been humiliated again.

100%, absolute dirt from Coleman and Keane today, constantly passing directly to their players when under little pressure and just sheer panic in the ranks due to the other players likely having no trust in those two and a dodgy goalkeeper behind them. Sidibe needs to go right back and Holgate alongside Mina, and stick with it. Then get a top centre half in the summer and decide whether to sign Sidibe or get a better right back in.

Had to give it to Richarlison for that goal .

He wont get 1.

Who knows if he keeps playing like that. Maybe s 1 yr contract on half the monet. Broke up a lot of play and am I right did he play a 35 year pinpoint pass out to the wing. But we definitely need some more quality in midfield

Coleman put Zaha in his pocket.

Be some superb prematch vaulting if anybody wants it.

Hardly even knew he was on pitch a lot today,only really seen him when he went down trying for the pen

 

[Alan Whittle]

Tbe vaults also need to be opened for all those who were wetting their beds over relegation (yet again )

Those vaults are now gaping chasms opening up under Selhurst Park.

Richarlison was our best player and will be MoM, so I've put my vote on DCL - he could have had 3 or 4 goals today.

 

[witchdoc187]

Playing at goodison is harder for us than the away team I think. Teams like palace we expect to win and the crowd is tough. Great 3 points today.

Reckon you have no probs myself

Just think - if we'd have held on against Newcastle we'd be in 5th tonight... mad when you think how cr*p we've been virtually all season.

The mad thing i always think about it in another way, ie we beat newcastle and we may have not won v watford,

I know he takes his time but 35 year pass?

Another great result,we now appear to be gaining some sort of winning mentality,even though we are still making too many mistakes which are costing us goals. Thought Schneiderlin played really well,as did Coleman in defence but Richarlison was my motm for that superbly taken goal.
