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

McCarthy and Gomes would be far better than Davies and Morgan if they were remotely fit.

Their record without Zaha is shocking so hopefully he doesn’t make it.

They won't start tomorow.

They might Sunday

They won't start tomorow.

That’s why I said “if they were remotely fit”. No way either starts.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Zaha is only human.

What's that you say???

 

[deipnosophist]

sorry lads...I've just lumped some money on Everton to win...kiss of death, if past history is anything to go by lol

...Off the bar, lays up perfectly for a stunning bike by Walcott, which absolutely flies into the Park End.

Kicked that far hasn’t he!

 

[Nymzee]

Oh wait we’re at home silly me.

Pickford

Kenny - Keane - Zouma - Digne

Schneiderlin - Davies

Sigurdsson
Walcott ---------------------- Bernard
Richarlison​

I think we'd be daft to change the starting XI from Leicester, but Schneiderlin for Gana will probably be an enforced change. Be nice to see Mina, Gomes, McCarthy & Beni on the bench.. Coleman too if available.

Like the sentiment, but hopefully there won’t be three CMs on the bench. Think it will be a while before we see McCarthy and even longer Beni - will surely go out on loan in Jan. Be interesting to see who keeps their seat out of Niasse and Lookman though... hopefully the latter.

 

[Buckers]

Can’t remember the last time I got this excited about the potential line up!! Gomes in for Gana and Richie up top, pretty please Marco! Bernard hat trick, 3-0.

 

[Pete Campbell]

Gomes and Coleman possibly to start this one?

 

[TheBigIguana]

I really would avoid starting Schneiderlin and Davies at all costs. If that means tossing Gomes in because Gana isn't fit and riding him until he is out of gas then go for it. But we have seen Schneiderlin and Davies and it has very rarely worked well.

 

[Toffee-nerd]

If gana is out I'd really like to see us drop sigurdsson back into midfield with Davies and go tosun up front richarlison on the left bernard in behind tosun and Walcott on the right. No reason we should have to suffer Davies and schneiderlin in midfield together at home against palace. Nothing against davies at all but schneiderlins done at Everton for me. Hes a liability when he plays and doesn't even graft which is the minimum requirement for an Everton player.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!!!

Honestly though safe bet I reckon. So there’s a double kiss. Mind you if we don’t win it’ll be because snides starts and you should ask him for your money back!

I wouldn't do that as it is 3 positional changes from the Leicester match to cover for ganas absence. It is too much and would rather a direct replacement rather than moving half the team around to accommodate
