Match Thread Everton v Crystal Palace - Team Prediction, Waffle, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Mr PEN86]

When you build your attacking options around a 40 yr old winger , Doucoure who can't control or pass a ball to save his life and a centre forward who hasn't scored in 20 games you know that
a. The manager hasn't got a clue and
b. We have no chance.

We don't look to Doucs for incisive passing just to come through with vital goals. Got no one else to play that role. Fully agree with the questions on Young and DCL though. Mad how a year ago we were hoping he was just fit. Probably had his best spell injury free in years and we want to switch him

We play like goblins

 

[Lob]

19 shots and only 4 on target, cannot pass, cannot cross, cannot read the game. Manager has got a lot to answer for tbh. 24 games into the season and he still hasn't managed to sort it out.

What has happened to DCL man, 3-4 years ago he was a monster the next big thing in the EPL, I understand the lad's had some pretty shocking luck with Injuries, but looks like he hardly gives a toss nowadays.

Never known such a talented player to just fall into obscurity.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Their manager was in the stand

Bit of a pointless take there. The point was that between one manager in hospital and one yet to officially start his duties, their preparation would not have been on point but still they managed to get one over on Sean the genius.

I was there mate.
It was poor,but not as bad as this ,iirc.

I was there also............we can class ourselves as stout blues. We are thick and thin fans

 

[Dykovski200]

This is the thing. We turn back inside and don’t attack, give it a go and the crowd get behind you and you never know what may happen…..

Frustrating the amount of times we turn back inside, when we needed a goal we stopped doing it and looked far better, our attack is gutless.

 

[roy vernon]

Absolutely abject, we are not quite as bad as Burnley or Sheffield United, but, we are every bit as bad as any of the other teams in the bottom half. We really are a tough team to watch, the only thing that makes it bearable to watch us is, and I am by no means his biggest fan, is the excellence of Dwight McNeill's first touch, it really is a thing of beauty, if only the rest of his game was as good.

Anyway, my MOTM once again, the ultimate professional, Mr. James Tarkowski. I was concerned by the length of his contract when we signed him, just goes to show, I am not the kind of person you should give a director of football job to.

It's because he's utter crap and always has been.

 

[Cels]

Not the best football I've watched by any means, but at least we never got beat. Brighton and then West Ham are next, we'll need to up our game if we expect to get anything from those two matches.

Quality of manager coaching him

 

[matty1878]

brighton will welly us everywhere

 

[when i score we riot]

The other teams in the relegation fight will love this result. Nothing to be proud of. At least we didn't lose.

 

[BlueTX]

Fair to call out Dyche for player selection, tactics, etc. Regardless, Doucoure, Garner, and DCL (x2) each had massive chances to score and just couldn't do it. In my view, that's on them and it's the same story for the club against mid-table and lower-level clubs match after match.

The dam has to break at some point, doesn't it?
