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

[deipnosophist]

When was the last time we scored a direct free kick?

Mirallas vs Villa in Bobby M's first season

There’s just no style of play.

Boring to watch every single game.

Precisely.

If we were playing proper clogger, direct football but it was fast paced, whipping crosses in etc. I'd much prefer that. This is nothingness. Absolute and utter pre-season levels of nothingness, yet this is how we've played (at least in terms of going forward) for 75% of the season.

Thinks he's prime Ronaldo - needs a reality check.

FFS. A half of almosts...

 

[Tommy Chong]

It’s going to be one of those days, isn’t it?

 

[KaiserEFC]

When you're not even in the top 3 when it comes to free kick takers? It very much IS acting the idiot.

I mean our free kick takers haven’t been particularly good of late. I’ve no qualms with a player wanting to take ownership

 

[maccavennie]

Should be on 3 goals now the bad whopper

 

[Mozza1987]

Coleman pathetic captain with that freekick before. Nowhere to be seen.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

How many sitters now Richy?!

 

[PhilRegan]

Wow another sitter

 

[Tin-Tin]

Where was the captain during that squabble?

Can anyone imagine that happening at another 'big' club. Shambles

 

[Saint Domingo]

FFS Richarlison wake up

 

[Furey1878]

Think people are overreacting to that free kick things, every team has the odd squabble over who takes a pen/free kick over a full season.

I imagine the lads who've yet to get given a go get frustrated when Digne and Sigurdsson haven't converted one all season.
