Match Thread Everton v Manchester United : Sun 4 Dec : KO 1600

[BlueToff]

We are going to have to agree to disagree on Bolasie mate, I see absolutely nothing he brings to the team. Waste of a shirt for me, up there with Cleverley today.

4 assists, 1 goal.

An attacking outlet to hit on the counter.

What he should not be is our sole creative outlet.

Bolasie doesn't set the fee - which wasn't £28m btw.

He's our best winger. He's inconsistent and infuriating, but Del isn't very good.

He really isnt our best winger. Our best winger is currently unfit and out of form. Came on today at 65 minutes. When Deulofeu is firing on all cylinders Bolasie isn't close to as good as him.

Some people are quick to forget.

We only played for 20 minutes!

We started without Barkley and Deulofeu, and created very little in the first half.

We started the second half unchanged - despite being a goal behind - and didn't make a change until the 65th minute.

However, where we made a change for the better, United made a change for the worse. And that made a difference.

Gana ... back to his Jack Russell best.


Makes me sad that Utd were there for the taking and we blew it

Would you prefer an 'in form' Bolasie, or an 'in form' Deulofeu on the wing mate? Same question to @hello

Del MOM just to wind up @BlueToff

How many times has Deulofeu completed 90 minutes?

 

[Arteta2391]

Everton

we start our games in the 70th+ minute

I went to both FA Cup semifinals last season.

Bolasie was without doubt MOTM in the Palace v Watford game.

How on earth is that in any way relevant?!

First half was disappointing in that we played not to get beat. Plan was to stifle them. 0-0 at half time seemed to be the plan. Stekelenburg made a hideous mistake. I was right in line with Ibrahimovic when he got on to the ball. I looked up in horror to see Stek rushing off his line. He had no chance of getting there. The ball was bouncing high, so only the lob was on. Steks decision made up Ibrahimovic's mind and the rest was history.
I knew we wouldn't win it from there. We tried a bit harder in second half though and got a point. Fair result I'd say. I don't think either side did enough to merit the win.
We need to win next week, given we play Arsenal & RS after that.

Just to say that I've seen Bolasie turn in a fantastic performance.

Against Watford?...

 

[Peaceful Weekender]

Certainly Gana. Best in passing and tackling 2day

 

[Stanley Parker]

Against Watford?...

Yes, against Watford. The team that finished two points behind us last season, and is two points behind us tonight.

BBC Sport;

The previous time Palace played at Wembley, Bolasie did not make it onto the pitch as his side beat Watford in the 2013 Championship play-off final. On Sunday, the 26-year-old, who was playing non-league for Rushden & Diamonds seven and a half years ago, made up for lost time at the national stadium.

Watford's defenders struggled to deal with his pace - Miguel Britos fortunate to escape after Bolasie skipped past him only for Costel Pantilimon to make an excellent save. Bolasie has now scored in his last two games for his club after failing to score in the previous 12.

And I think he was MOTM in the game here last season and the season before.
