chicagoblue Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Well, we played okay for a total of 10-15 minutes. Otherwise Palace pretty much had their way with us. We were particularly poor throughout the second half and lucky, really, to get away with a draw in the end. If I were trying to be fair to the lads we have caught Palace on a real high and it's clear they're improved from last year. Expect them easily in the top 10 if they keep on like this. Thought Cleverly and Jags were good throughout the game. Others were decent in flashes (Bolasie, Ross, Rom). Can't understand what we're doing trying to defend those second balls from corners, but showed defensive resolve not to concede from any of the 600 they earned. Sadly, Oviedo is not a premier league footballer. Still think the Stek (and whoever let Coleman alone with Benteke) was at fault for their goal. The way I saw the situation, when the ball left Benteke's head Stek thought it was going wide and didn't react right away. Maybe just a trick of the camera angle, but that's how it looked to me.

Eric Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 I think Koeman's been found out and Moshiri hasn't exactly helped him out. It's all going to end in tears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue 250 Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Palace aren't too shabby, they will cause lots of teams problems, saying that, we were shabby. Not really a stand out player, guess the defence did well against an attacking confident team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've had a very tough fixture list, unlike us and have a game in hand. They'll be above us at the end of the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoof_It_Nev Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 I might be going mental, but why don't we take one player out of the wall and lay him on the ground behind them so everyone can jump?

milesey05 Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 We scored a free kick which not all refs would have given. They scored 2 legit goals Imo. Did their keeper have 1 save to make? 3 shite games in a row. City will kill us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 I didn't think Palace were very good. Their sole tactic was to feed Bent eke with long balls... that's it... nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed to work pretty well, if ref and linesmen mistakes were ruled out, they just won 2-0 away at a team in the top 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith B Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 We weren't good. And that's a bad sign. Totally winnable game that we dominated for long stretches that we probably should have lost. chicagoblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 PLAY DEULOFEU AND MIRALLAS AT ALL COSTS. Let's fucking have a go. Don't think either are what Koeman wants in an attacking midfielder/winger. Think he'll be looking to strengthen in this position with players like Bolasie who are better at pressing - something I think Mirallas is quite good at actually.

duncanmckenzieismagic Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Pretty poor second half showing but the one positive to take from the game is that I thought we defended very well , that's a game we would have lost last season I think we are in for a long season, it's going to get worse before it gets better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought at the time the free kick award for our goal was correct decision and now I've seen it on TV I can't see how there is any question about it Likewise their disallowed goal , Delaney heads it back across goal and there is absolutely no doubting that MCCarthur is offside chicagoblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForEverton2 Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 One point is better than no points! Coleman was no match against Benteke for CP's goal, and I don't know how well Hollgate would have done in the same position. Oviedo, on the other hand, did well enough in Bainesies absence. I think Everton's flanks needs major sorting after this match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Was like watching last season....again. Didn't really create anything. No shots in anger, nothing. Just watched the goals that hearts scored last night, three goals from outside the box. Two while under pressure. Why don't we just shoot sometimes?
