Match Thread Huddersfield Town v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Fletch]

We need to get hold of Zouma because he is literally head and shoulders above Keane, quality player.

 

[deipnosophist]

100 pages - lots to read, and I shall not.

Love seeing Kenny out there - he’s got a snarl to him that’s missing out there.

yes, he gurns very well

 

[Camboselecta]

I thought Baines, Keane, Davies, Pickford, Tosun all good tonight. Still looked like loosing at any moment. It was a clear pen at the end as well.

 

[Strikinglyhandsome1]

Win is a win, but Huddersfield are an awful side and we struggled to create chances and still tried to self destruct . I’m not getting carried away.

Like pulling teeth watching us. Everything’s a struggle.

 

[BlueToff]

I fully expected to lose so I'm happy enough.

It changes nothing about this squad and manager, other than giving us 3 more points.

It at least showed that Silva was willing to change his system.

We played a 4-3-3 last night and, granted Huddersfield are very poor, looked quite adept at it for the first half and would have completely controlled the second if not for Digne's error.

 

[CairnsToffee]

Went for Pickford, good confidence booster and hopefully will shut the cry arses up!

 

[OneTrueLegend]

Remeber palace went down with 49 points before, a prem record I believe, crazy number of points to be relagated with

That was in the old days of 42 game season though, not 38 like it is now

 

[Evri]

with all respect lads but not sure how we can be positive at all, last night was a terrible performance and beside three points nothing is to be remember
great start but after we scored we just disappear , last team in the league took over control of the game until the very end , embarrassing
not sure any more whats the Silva game plan , terrible with ball and even worse without ball
it was great to be there last night but taste is very bitter overall ... I don't not anymore if I want that 7th spot , if thats mean that Silva will stay i would sign now that we finish 12th so he can get fired as he is not material for our club , almost 2/3 of the season and we are totally lost

 

[BlueInNZ]

Baines is vice captain. He's just barely played.

Jags - Baines - Coleman - Davies

Yes, but he didnt half do well until he got injured.

 

[BlueInNZ]

Top tonight:
Davies
Cenk
Keane
Zouma
Picko

Did alright:
Richarlison
Baines
Coleman
Kenny
Bernard

Not much to do:
DCL

Missing in action:
Sigurdsson
Gomes

Jesus wept what the hell was that:
Digne

Great to see 3 points and some defensive composure!

MIA Gomes and Sigurdsson? You were either watching a different game or dont understand football. Gomes probably had his most mature game anchoring in front of defence allowing Davies to wander (which he did well). Siggy put a shift in too, and some nice touches. Granted we would like more, but MIA? Behave.

Exactly. I couldnt believe my eyes how bad Huddersfield were. But we won. And ffs we are no where near going down. No where near.

 

[tommytowne]

We might as well beat Man City now as they've just conceded the title to the rs.

My sentiments exactly.
I'm hoping that we just get right into the rs when they come to us strutting their stuff.
They'll be cocky as hell so please do it Everton then ill forgive you for another poor season.

 

[tommytowne]

We are safe with 33 I would guess. Won't need near 40.

36 will do it this year. Mid forties for us.

Agree, gomes was gareth barry esq yesterday, did the simple things, tracked back and won fouls in tight areas.

 

[Toffeelover]

Not very encouraging a 1-0 win against the bottom club, mind the 3 points are welcome no matter how won.
