Everton v Crystal Palace Sunday 2pm

[blueToffee]

All the subs played their part. Just adding some energy when they were tiring a bit made a huge difference. Everything was far too on the back foot and ponderous first half.

I'm glad Garner bailed out that Beto poor touch that almost lead to a goal as he didn't really deserve that. Unfortunately both of our strikers can give the ball away too much but overall Beto played well today and was unlucky not to score himself but for a great Henderson save. He has looked better a bit fired up from the bench of late, so I don't know how we handle that? False nine to start?

Beto upset them as well, Barry just looks PL shell shocked yet, hopefully he will adapt, up against it though up to now.

I think Barry needs to really bulk up physically over the coming months. He needs to wear the striker role much more.

He is still young and looks like a boy. Beto at least has that experience and physical presence and can handle CBs. But he just looks better as a sub with something to prove.

However, Beto has the upper hand for me, not because of ability but just on the fact that Barry isn’t quite ready for regular first team football at the moment.

So do you like the stadium now?

Not really. Many many things I hate but hey it's not black and white and my emotions can fluctuate

[MPLS Toffee]

I think Beto would have been woeful if he was a straight swap for Barry, but Alcaraz comes on and it changes the entire balance in midfield.

I love Charly because he is easily the least predictable with the ball, so I know the defenders don't know what's coming either

What I'd give for a win so we can sing "never felt more like singing the blues"

To those that went did it break out

Second half was such a step up. Alcaraz made a huge difference both putting more pressure on them and driving us forward. Best atmosphere so far, big thanks to the little shit Pino!

Can’t decide if Moyes is lucky or brilliant. Firs half was anaemic, substitutions changed everything.

Love playing Palace don't we.

Re the atmosphere I know it can get quiet but so did Goodison when things were flat. It’s just emphasised more cos there’s more people being quiet.

When it gets loud though it gets really REALLY loud so it’s up to the players to start driving some moments in games for the fans to get behind, and it’s up to the fans to try and lift the players when things aren’t rocking.

There’s some concourse issues that need sorting but other than that I love our new stadium, which is why I was surprised to see your extreme reaction to it and wanted to understand why.

Of course emotion can swing things one way or another on a given day, but try and remember Goodison had all the same issues with atmosphere sometimes.

Answer is B

[brap2]

I might try that next time. Is it worth the dough?

The bit I was in I do not have the facilities to pay for that kind of experience I would say that
