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

[maccavennie]

What a grim game that was.

Made up we won but wow we are crap. Harrison and Mcneil, like watching Simon Davies on one side and Niclas Alexanderson on the other.

Dreadful, Dreadful performance.

Brilliant performance by Virginia and deserved motm

This has all the hallmarks of 1966
Reaching Wembley without conceding a goal

 

[pedro789]

Just got in.
Tarkowski and Branthwaite our best players.
Thought Onana and Garner did ok.
Keeper was decent, looked calm.
DCL did ok, had some good moments.
Not an easy role to play. Desperate for a goal.
They were dreadful.

How poor were the rest of the team if Beto gets voted man of the match on BBC after coming on as a sub in the 86th minute?

 

[JelavicBrate2]

You were worse lid.

Both sides were awful, if it was a league game you would of deserved a draw. Your finishing was appalling, our passing was appalling, can honestly say neither side deserved to go through.

Only conceded one in 95. Klinsmann dive in the semi for a penalty if I remember correctly

That's really disingenuous. There were some very good performances tonight.

 

[Timbucktoo]

Great result. Always good to get through and have a winnable tie at home to look forward to. Lets hope Luton don`t catch us out like they did in the league.

 

[Mikey O]

Really pleased that we got through another challenge - well done Dyche and the squad.

Onwards to the next tie against Luton; another win and boost to coffers / confidence.

Fell asleep listening on the radio after 70 minutes.

I loved it Joey, listening to it again on half speed to make it last longer

 

[Goat]

That was a War Crime of a football match.

I hope the UN werent watching.

Rubbish.

Branthwaite settled in the end but I thought his distribution early on was all over the place.

Onana at times as well.

They seemed to run through our defence with ease at times

Gomes seemed to enjoy himself tonight. I'd love him to spark into life again

 

[pedro789]

It wasn't great game/performance.
But Dyche/players deserve a lot of credit.
We've just been hit with another hammer blow and they still turned up tonight.
And missing Doucoure, probably most important player in that system.

Don't know if this has already been answered, but it was Sheringham - went down like a sack of potatoes.

Well that was a first.
I didn't go the game and couldn't find a stream, so I went the pub and listened to the commentary on my phone whilst watching Notts Forest and Blackpool FFS.
It didn't sound like it was a great performance, but the result is everything and Luton at home next round gives us a great chance to progress.
An eight course Irish meal - (7 pints of Guinness and a bag of crisps) together with the result made tonight a good night.
