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

[Bazlar]

These games were it looks like we are building some momentum and have potential to move up the table we usually lose

I'm going to say 1-1. Full palace team behind the ball, set piece scored at either end in each half.

Everton that

Duncan Ferguson scores Everton’s first goal v Crystal Palace at Goodison Park on the 21st January 1995.

It's nailed on that Carlo will half nelson McArthur, Pearson-style. Should be fun.

A win on Saturday could see us up to 7th in the league. It is a funny old world.

still have a decent shot at Europa if the "top 6" win the cups.

Can we finally actually capitalise and take on board the pressure and win? All season we've capitulated in such games hoping that Watford game is the turning point. The only worry I have is in midfield(Gylfi and Snides is slow, personally I'd go Gylfi and Davies a bit more attacking and more legs) and that Palace have sheer pace on the break. Hopefully we can control the game and win. I will take any win.

Sidibe Mina Holgate Digne
Walcott Schneiderlin Sigurdsson Bernard
Kean Richarlison​

Not really happy with our CM choice, but they're better than Davies.

Must win here as our run of games after is very difficult.

We often do OK in difficult runs of games. It's the easier runs of games that we stuff up...…. but that was pre Carlo.

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

Different day, innit?

Have a orrible feeling about this one.

Realistically our next 5 games are going to be very tough especially with our shocking midfield therefore this is a vital game if we are to hope to finish in the top 7 spots -

Palace: 3 points
Arsenal: 1 point
Man Utd: 3 points
Chelsea: 0 points
RS: 0 points

Head says 7 points out of 15 - anything less than that and we'll be massively relying on other clubs slipping up to stay in contention.

Let's just take it one game at a time. Let's beat Palace, then we check who is available for the Arsenal which happens after the "Winter Break", and so on.

With all due respect, the above points tally is very fluid; let's just take it one game at a time,and see where we are after the break.

There really isn't any reason to play Sigurdson; offers less than nothing, so really is no point.

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

They are tough runs I’ll agree but I think we have our old fashioned specs on looking at them thinking the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and united are title contenders still. Only big by name when in reality they are a bunch of Europe hopefuls and not at a certainty.

Bigger by name rather than big by challenge.
