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

[Bungle]

I'm uncomfortable at the fact I'm not detesting Schneiderlin

 

[Bob Elstone]

Coleman has been decent.
Keane too.

 

[MercuryBlue88]

Might be worth swapping sidibe and Coleman round. Sidibe seems unsure out wide today, Coleman played there a few times in the past, might give it a better go.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Hes intercepted so many passes and harried zaha. Hes also covered every blade of grass on the right. Delivery hasn't been great but the lads playing with all his heart.

That's all great we can't pass the ball forward because Sidibe isn't playing RB

 

[Verbal Kint]

The goal was the only bit of quality sp far. Sidibe just hasn't got upto the pace of game yet. Coleman and dare i sayit Schneiderlin been standout performers.

 

[john jako]

Crap game, think Morgan’s been our best player alongside Coleman, sidibe been awful since he came on

It hurts me to say it but Morgan has a decent footballing brain. He’s just very lazy and too cautious when it comes to distribution. He’s been good today in a terrible game of togger.

 

[Ducans elbow]

We were scrappy last 15 let them into it

 

[Everton_Gary]

Need to connect some passes here. Heavy touches and passes. Get into them Carlo. Expect a more tidy second half

Bad game but weare winning so its okay

The game he’s having, there’s no way I’d trust him in a defensive role.

 

[Tubey]

We got our goal because they were encouraged to come and have a go at us. They thought they'd nick the ball and counter.

Since then they've simply battled us and we've tried to assert a possession game. Therefore, they're winning the battle, but they needed to equalise when they were relatively on top in that half IMO because they'll tire quickly second half.

If we're sensible, we just keep things tight for the first 15 minutes second half and then assert ourselves from 60 minutes on. If we do, we should win this now by two or three.

wouldn't, coleman is doing very well defensively, Sidibe is a turnstile

 

[atypicalusername]

That's all great we can't pass the ball forward because Sidibe isn't playing RB

Sidibe has lost possession every single time hes been on the ball or involved in play today. I rate the lad but hes stinking up the right hand side.

 

[sageyefc]

Maybe take sidibe off and put richy on the right and kean up front in the second half

 

[Deleted member 38674]

Poor goalkeeping to lose grasp of the ball. Of course.

But to suggest it was a penalty is just ridiculous

With respect, I didn’t say it was a penalty did I? That was your assumption.

I said we got away with one, it was sloppy at the back, Pickford dove in and didn’t hold it. The ball was bobbling free, it was a decent chance for Palace and it needn’t have been.

And then Seamus coming in was clumsy because Zaha was going nowhere at that point. He got absolutely none of the ball and all of the player - so he gave them a decision to make. It was stupid.

 

[ProZ]

It has been a poor match but we have pressed really well and won ball back quickly which is nice to see
