Everton v Crystal Palace. 30 Sep at 2000.

[The binman chronicles]

The positives are we drew and we usually lose to palace and we can only play better next match cause the big negative was that was a pile of poo.

 

[DRM]

1-1 how can you take off Ross instead of Cleverly? he wasnt having that bad of a game

Yes he was. and he wasn't doing anything defensively.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Horrific. Absolutely horrific.
Koeman will be in trouble soon if we keep serving this muck up!

 

[LinekersLegs]

Thought we deserved to win based on first half, deserved to lose based on second so will reluctantly take a point but we really should be winning these home games.

Hate playing Palace though, bit of a bogey team.

 

[MartyMcFly]

Poor 2nd half. Once they shut down Bolasie we had no one to feed Rom.

Ross again ineffectual and Mirallas non existent.

It's hard to see where our goals are coming from. Coleman and Rom our two most dangerous players.

 

[toffeejack]

Can't tackle anymore mate, it's classed as dangerous play now because of that trailing leg

it's why i only watch everton. i'm only 27 and the sport is already lost on me, it's just pure tosh.

...I keep going on about the threat factor, Palace have been more of a threat than us. Whether it's the system or the players in the system we need to find a way to create. We offer little or no threat. As a benchmark, consider how many times their keeper made a save. Perhaps one chance for Gueye in the entire half.

No threat factor.

No width, and back to a slow build up!

 

[Groucho]

Try to enjoy the rest of the season lads.

Last three games have been bottom 6 form.

We're up to 3rd.

 

[Brennan]

Cleverly hasn't been bad at all. Barry, Yanick, Barkley and Miralles can give the ball away a million times and wouldn't get the stick that Cleverly gets. 90% of the people on here are sheep who read one post and start repeating it over and over again.

You're talking tosh.

 

[allen]

Poor second half. Totally out of the game for a a good 20 minutes. Koeman won't be happy with that... I hope.

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

We didn't get a grip in this game - lack of quality in midfield. Cleverley is soooo average and another poor game from Barkley. We need to buy big in the Jan transfer window. No messing about this time.

 

[bazzer25]

Why pick on him?

Who will buy Mirallas? Who will buy Cleverley? And so on and so on.

Well, call it the height of expectation, the willingness to take the glory when he makes the effort. His position cries for creativity threading the ball through to our attackers, lack of it drives us down our wings. Sorry but if he isn't creative, what is he?

 

[Kiwi]

been a story of overhit and misdirected passes. Barkley did the basics well but wasn't inspiring, Cleverly utterly AWOL second half after a bright start, Lukaku my MOTM with his sharp hold up play and goal.

No threat factor.

Unfortunately eggs we are a pretty average side. 2 seasons of 11th place is probably going to take us 2 seasons to challenge back into the top 6-7

Such a lack of quality, piss poor window as in we needed major quality bringing in.

Ronald has his work cut out that's for sure.

 

[Gerbs]

Yes he was. and he wasn't doing anything defensively.

Strongly disagree
