I'm going, so we will draw (every game I have been to this season we drew). Sorry, but better than a loss.

I'm sure a more thorough match thread will be created. But just thread for a bit of pre-match chat about the game tomorrow.

I think the only purpose of the next few league games is to gain some sort of momentum, when you put the metaphorical hand-brake on at this time of the season it isn't easy to get going again and we need to be up to speed for Wembley.

We have a decent record at Selhurst park, including winning there last season. Weirdly they have a brilliant record at Goodison.

I think the injury to Barkley may give the lad a rest which could prove to be vital over the next few games. Jagielka isn't fit to return to training until next Monday at best.

One thing riding on this is that a win would put a Palace team, who've only won once this calendar year, above us (Sake Martinez) so we don't want that, at the same time a win takes us to 11th and relieve a bit of pressure on the manager going into the weekend.

From the Palace POV they seem to have problems scoring, with a real lack of quality in the striking department, this despite having some really exciting wingers, who have done for us in the past. Martinez will need to make sure our full backs are fully aware of the threat Bolasie, Zaha and Puncheon will pose.

An early goal for us is important as Palace will snide the evening out if need be, where's an early goal for them could leave us massively open to the counter.

We don't lose to often away from home so a nice little confidence booster will do tomorrow blues.

Finally, almost all Evertonians know its always nice to get one over that smug tit Pardew.

COYB!!!

Bloody imposter!

BRING BACK CHICO

his previews may be crap, but they're a much better class of crap than that.

boooooo

Haven't heard Bolasie having a worldie in a while, looking forward to it.

Think we'll win.

Just sick of the negativity...the crazy part is some will fume even if we win because of what it might represent long term.

Weird times

Don't care

It would be nice to see the players hit some form. Give us hope for a cup final. Dream on.

Azza · April 13, 2016

Nailed on for Adebayor to score the winner. Probably from a corner as well.

Another boring draw.

.....at least that will put us safe on 40 points. I understand a defeat will see relegation threatened palace leapfrog us to that total.

Palace have something we don't, a recent win. I don't know how well they played or whether they deserved to win but they come into this on the back of 3 points. If we continue our recent performance levels then we will lose, it's as simple as that. We cannot win any game with performance levels that we have put in lately.

To add to my post, the two games after this are against teams who are picking up good results. I really cannot see our next win and I'm starting to believe we've fell too much to even get one
