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

[firefighterblue]

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

The way the league is ATM if we got into some form every team is beatable. Even the rs.

The two runs of fixtures we’ll have had this season are absolutely absurd:

December:
Leicester
Liverpool
Chelsea
Man Utd
Arsenal

Feb-April
Arsenal
Man Utd
Chelsea
Liverpool
Norwich
Leicester
Tottenham

You mean the one team who has beaten everyone bar one this season?

The undefeated Liverpool ?

Mate we couldn't beat their kids. Not sure how you think they are beatable by us

Think we might have a chance at goodison . Hostile crowd, players up for it. A chance to stop them claiming the undefeated all season record so who knows. They are devastating up front. But there back four has struggled the last few games.

They've kept a clean sheet in their last 2 games and 4 in the last 6 games.
Their back 4 aren't doing too bad but they are so strong up top that most teams are scared to really push at them because they'll just get hit on the break.

I'm not saying we will beat them.
My original response was to someone giving a list of teams at home who we can beat. But with this league being so weak anyone can beat anyone with the exception of the RS and city mainly. I was saying that if this win at Watford can give the players some self belief we can win at Chelsea arsenal Tottenham etc and said we can give the rs a game at goodison. Their attack is frightening but we can compete with them in midfield e.g last year's derby at anfield. If we go into that game at goodison with them being able to win the league the crowd will be full of hate the players will be up for it and we can give it a go at them
Seen a couple of their last few games highlights. Thought they looked tired against wolves and soton first half but their attack has done it for them.time after time. So we could have a chance
Btw this is a personal opinion but for me this red team is good and the attack brilliant but i.dont think it is as good as their team of the seventies and early eighties. Different times but that is what I think anyway.

no one to be particularly afraid of there apart from the RS.

That is why we need to pick up points in games between the runs failed on couple like just recently but that period under Silva was the one that really messed us up

Obviously Tosun cannot play against us, but anybody know how he's been getting on at Palace? I know he scored Vs City but haven't seen his name since.

Thanks mate. Shame that, hope he comes back and gets a few more performances in for them in order to raise his profile ahead of being sold in the summer.
