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

[MikeH72]

Chaos I call it. After the game on Saturday Sherwood said that if he was an Everton fan he’d have been thrilled about the game as it’s what we’d been asking for for years. Was sat there like you joking? Going 2 down is not what Everton fans want.

Mate, we haven’t come from behind to win a football match for two years, of course we needed to get that out of the way.

Want that every match?

....up the Toffees.

 

[MikeH72]

Want that every match?

No but I don’t want it to be happening once every two years. I want us to at least demonstrate we can do it, so we don’t need to write off every game we fall behind in.

Well then that’s not the football Everton fans have been wanting as Sherwood says is it.

You sure he wasn’t referring to the fight and spirit we showed to come from behind and win with 10 men? That’s exactly what I’ve been wanting to see.

That's the Tim Sherwood who ducked more challenges than any other international in history .

 

[Bluebonic]

Wont happen but I feel a 3-5-2 would best suit us against these - their strength will be from set pieces and their pacey wide players getting space to cut inside / whip crosses in.

For me having 3 CB's helps defend aerially & cut the space out for balls in the box hitting one of thier players.

Also would allow Digne & Sidibe to get up the pitch without worrying about tracking Zaha & Townsend/Ayew.

---------------Pickford------------

---------Keane Holgate Mina---------

----Sidibe Gyfi Schneiderlin Digne-------

-------------------Iwobi--------------------

------------Richarlison DCL---------------

Swap Bernard for Iwobi and I am with you there mate

If it means 3 points in every game , hell yes

Nah because even when we were 2-0 down and we were all over them he was praising us.

Strange that, makes a change from us being slaughtered by pundits when winning I suppose.

Yeh was happy for the praise but if he thinks we want loads of games like 4-3, 5-5, 3-2 then he’s got some of us very wrong.

 

[ChesterBlue]

Problem is I could see us losing this, we’re weird like that. We’re well capable of a win here but you just never know with Everton

 

[Gaffa]

Same team bar Morgan for Delph with Davies on the bench
Was glad to see Davies left out after ducking for Newcastles equaliser.

We have 7 home games left and I reckon 6 of them are winnable matches and the Derby literally could be anything. If we get 19 points from the 7 home games, anything away from home would be a bonus and we will be bang up there.

Palace
United
Them
Leicester
Villa
Southampton
Bournemouth

That's a very decent home run in there.

Gran some points at Norwich, Wolves and Sheff Utd and Europe here we come

 

[FtheWhat]

Right side is a worry for this game. Would almost be tempted to play Holgate RB or rs of a back three. Deulofeu sshowed enough down that side, that i would be a bit nervous about Zaha v. Sidibe.

Pickford
Holgate/Keane/Mina/Digne
Richy/Schneid/Siggy/Bernard
DCL/Kean
Or
try something like this before playing the tougher games we have coming up
Pickford
Sidibe/Keane/Mina/Digne
Richy/Siggy/Holgate/Bernard
DCL/Kean
