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

[Brett Angell Delight]

Walcott off, either DCL up front and Ricky on the wing or Lookman on in a straight swap.

 

[bicycleheader]

Understandably we are not really a proper team unit yet.....id expect it to be a very patchy season with hopefully a bit more fluidity in the second half of the season.

Two very average teams out there so far.

Anyone seen Theo?

We sold him to Palace, he's doing well for them.

 

[thebluenosebolt]

Been a bit of a damp squib that half.

 

[gianthogweed]

We look so vulnerable from corners against these physical teams

Tosun IN for Gueye or Gomes. Siggy as 8, Bernard as 10 Richy left wing Walcott right wing. Easy solution! COYB

We dont even compete for them, that's what gets me.

 

[BlueToff]

We just didn't play with enough pace and then when we had some chances to break, the pass was wrong/the runs were poor etc.

I was happy with the team and I'm happy to stick with it, but I think today has so far shown that against sides that sit deep, Richarlison up top may not be the way to go.

But we'll see.

I'll see your dire claim and raise it with the amout of assists hes racked up for everton. Lets just agree to disagree bud. Still think we will win this. Thats the main thing

We'll still win it imo too.

But also - 234 matches, 25 assists. Hardly a fantastic amount of assists, considering through his career him and Baines have been our main outlet.

 

[BigBlueConk]

Two poor but evenly matched teams, who are probably both glad they are not playing somebody better.

Silva doesn’t seem to fix this zonal issue.

..Gueye getting booked hasn’t helped as he started very well.

Things are never that bad

 

[Eggs]

Two poor but evenly matched teams, who are probably both glad they are not playing somebody better.

...as their record suggests, Palace look an effective away team.

 

[gonetomorrow]

The only guy I'd take off right now would be Walcott but I say wait and see if Silva has given them a good talking to.
