Everton v Crystal Palace - Match Preview, from the away end.

[Woolly Blue]

I think we benefitted from Everton changing the shape and line up, very similar to April. Bolasie only ever plays consistently well at Goodison, he was slaughtered by the fans last week v Burnley.
Credit to us for our defend to the death/smash&grab strategy.What do you expect......keep the ball?
Well done Palace and COYB for every game from now until Jan 31.

Congratulations mate. Can't believe we lost that one, but you put the round thing in the net more often than we did so we can't complain. Obviously we will complain. Not sure what my point is really.

Anyway, I hope this win gives your team a bit of confidence and you start to string some results together.

Oops I forgot about you....sorry mate, just being bitter. Fully deserved 3 points for you today. That Bollasi looks a superb player.

No worries mate. Just smash the RS and the whole of Football will cheer

Any idea why Martinez thinks he can change the team against you lot for no apparent reason ? he's beginning to worry me.

 

[Clint Planet]

Fair play to you, Alan.

hubris. Which is unacceptable given the ambush by Palace last April. What's that expression? "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on ME'

Well fair play to Palace. You blitzed our weak link (the right flank) and let us shoot ourselves in the foot in the defense as we've been apt to do this year. 75% possession doesn't look so well when you lose by 2.

As far as Doyle goes, Warnock seems to do well with those sort of players so I can understand that signing.

Could not agree more, changed the players, changed the shape, and then made the shape worse with the subs ffs
