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

[gonetomorrow]

I'd say Siggy has been our main threat.

 

[Joey66]

No hold play upfront to link our midfield.....
Walcot and Coleman in each other's way......

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

It’s Crystal Palace at home. Got to win this.

Didn't realise we'd failed to do that already.

And fwiw, Palace have won 4 of 6 away games this season.

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

Like the look of Gomes. Extra bit of height, tidy, strong in the tackle and looks like he could be the player we're missing since Barkley that can carry from deep.

 

[Blue Juice]

Walcott needs to turn up second half. Sig looks good

 

[pablo315]

His crossing is absolutely dire. You can't change that.
Overall performances - good. Crossing - can't believe a professional footballer hasn't improved on it one iota in 8 years or however long at the top level.

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

 

[Azza]

Just need to be quicker and pass it faster.

No point in sticking on Tosun instead of Richarlison. he isn't going to do any better in the air against Sakho or Tomkins and with one of their midfielders dropping in that makes it even harder.

 

[Zezti]

We've looked rusty but I can see this team clicking. They need to play together. Wouldn't make any changes at HT.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Similar to Fulham in that we haven't been sharp enough in the final third

 

[T LEAFE]

We need Davies Kenny Dowell Niasse and Sneiderlin

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Like the look of Gomes. Extra bit of height, tidy, strong in the tackle and looks like he could be the player we're missing since Barkley that can carry from deep.

Already looks like becoming the new whipping boy, from a lot of the comments on here.

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

Even half so far. Hodgson has set them up very well for a second half counter attack snatch and grab. We've all seen that far too many times at Goodison.

 

[banno]

Tough game and Palace set up well to nullify all our threats. Richarlison, Bernard and Walcott all struggling to make something happen. Palace look dangerous to me and have got a foothold on our midfield. We just cannot get going. Still feel we will get something but still wary of Zaha especially. Digne is working hard and think Coleman is struggling a little and is going into blind alleys plus taking too much time on the ball. Siggy looks our main threat

shades of Fulham match in the first half (both opposition even hit the bar) let’s hope this game follows suit

45 mins to win this. Please wake up Everton.
