Everton v Crystal Palace. 30 Sep at 2000.

We are pony.

I'm seriously worried about the derby and it's 11 weeks away.

11 weeks? I'm building an ark and praying for rain.

 

[The Cowboy]

You cut your cloth to suit your measure.

We're not really very good, are we?

I ain't gonna argue that.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Yet we still created a lot late on - and trust me Tim Iroegbunam wasn't happy after the break.

Absolute sitter for Gana, again set up by that man with 'no end product'.

It needs to click for a full game, and it will.

I thought we were poor and I think we're lacking quality for European qualification.

It's a work in progress but we sadly we are a bit off where I hoped we would be.

 

[Gladystweet]

What's a bit worrying is that after a good start, the new signings are beginning to look like they've been here years...adapting to gashness.

 

[RomEFCRom]

Bolasie cost twice as much as Townsend, think Palace did well there.

 

[forever everton]

He didn't play on the wing. He played in midfield. And he was one of our better performers. He's hated for been a steady performer.

He came in today and did what was required to help the team and there's a reason Koeman started him - because we've got no other options in midfield.


Fixed for you

Palace will get a few decent results this year,
We are to soft as a team , glad there is a break as we haven't played well for weeks

 

[snipellis11]

Thought that was a good game both teams went at it, give credit to them in the second half they went at us but still think we had the better chances

 

[Papa Shango]

Our play in the final third is dire.

We push up the field quickly, get into a good position and then either play it backwards or take loads of touches allowing the opponents defenders to regroup. Why are we so scared to just play it/shoot first time?

There was a positive from tonight, the defence generally dealt with crosses well and batted most things away. Coleman is an issue for me, I love him and all that and he is great going forward, defensively he worries me majorly as he simply cant defend that well.

I actually thought Oviedo played well tonight.

Again our main downfall tonight though is mentality.

 

[deipnosophist]

We are 2 points better off than we were at this stage last season...

I haven't seen a good full 90 mins yet.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

He played the opposite side to Gueye in midfield. Not really his job to create in that formation.

Didnt say its Cleverleys job to create? I said he is a bit too anonymous. Doesnt really seem to offer anything...

 

[squonk]

massive overreaction, get a grip ffs

2 years of underperformance has to be rectified and it will take time

not the worst result against a decent team

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

That's the worst thing about these Friday games if you don't win it completely ruins the weekend.

 

[Ballyfermot]

It a likely to we will be in the top four going into the break.
