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

[T LEAFE]

Are we really just good enough to blast the ball up in the air and hope

Yes

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Route one to a striker who has not scored in months. And we wonder why we can’t convert

 

[Marius57]

Really crap. Defence look fine. The rest are really poor.

Dyche won’t last if this is his only tactic.

 

[ste d' indica]

What do they do in training? Just cardio and set pieces?

I sometimes wonder if its bongs y'know..

 

[bigstickytoffee]

Our inability to pass and move with any purpose continues to astound. Palace are supposedly rubbish and they're managing it alright.

This. We don't even try to play football, it is just long ball after long ball...... which we lose and it just comes back at us...

Young shouldn't be on the pitch....

The whole back line/midfield sit far too deep.... We just invite teams to come at us.

 

[Mozza1987]

Woeful this. Just hoofing it

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Another tremendous advert for the greatest league in the world.

In the words of the legendary Graham Taylor "can we not knock it?"

 

[Neiler]

That Wharton looks a good player.

 

[bluejohn66]

We need :
A. Corners
B. Don't Let Young Have The Ball

 

[USABlue]

So mind-numbing to watch.

 

[when i score we riot]

Its like watching basketball. No midfield, and DMs are just extra centre backs

 

[formerly manx toffee]

DCL over the bar

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Players don’t have any inclination AT ALL to form triangles. Players receive passes and their only option is to pass back from where it came. They should know there will be a teammate in space without even having to look.

Dom needs to take his chances, but he has a truly awful role to fulfil.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

This route one up to Dom clearly ain't gonna work..

 

[Nymzee]

Should be on target. Beauty of a cross.
