Match Thread Everton v Crystal Palace - Match Report and MotM Poll

[blue to the bone]

Attacking enough side from Palace.

 

[big nev lookalike]

Well that’s the team,so come on you Blues. Up the toffees.

 

[Terrarian]

The curse of a break from football hits us again.

Allan seemingly the latest victim of our game of thrones training ground.

Heads need to roll with our medic / fitness department

I know what you mean but this season has been a freak for injuries for everyone, the games all so close together, no proper pre season, it is fairly understandable really.

5 at the back?

I think Coleman might play in front of Holgate

 

[ADT]

Happy to see Gbamin but 3/4 of our summer signings being injured at different stages is really frustrating

 

[Death]

Please give John 20 mins. Pleeeeeaaase

 

[Saint Domingo]

This team spells trouble to me. No Allan no Godfrey points towards a major lack of intensity. Our fitness is a joke. How has Allan got injured doing nothing but light training for two weeks?! We seemingly can’t have more than one competent midfielder in the squad at any given point.

 

[TheSecondComing]

Well yeah palace win here

 

[BlueStevie35]

It’s either a wingback formation or Mason is playing in the midfield 3 with Davies and Gomes

 

[messymascot]

3-4-1-2 I reckon. Holgate to look after Zaha with Colemans help and Keane on Benteke with Minas help. Our front 3 should occupy their defence.

Wish it was Holgate in midfield...but no doubt it's 3 at the back

 

[charlie atkins]

I don't think we ever play our strongest side

 

[Death]

Every everton win this season has started with a team news bleach drinking session.

This pleases me.

 

[kenada_blue]

Allan's fitness a major problem. We need younger players with this year's recruitment

Don't see how younger = less injuries

 

[Mrk]

Wish it was Holgate in midfield...but no doubt it's 3 at the back

Wish it was Holgate in the U23's
