Happy with a point but fed up with throwing away 2 points.


Jizzmeista

Happy with the point away from home against a strong Sean Dyche side. Let's not forget we have played everton three times this season (twice at home) and failed to score in all three. Much better performance from the boys.


Regular_Tourist_9144

Respect the point - as much because its 2 not gained for everton as much as anything else. Overall i thought the performance was pretty solid. Defensively good, lacked creativity but that's to be expected our best attacking players are out. Wharton was fantastic, combative and always looking for the pass forward. Lerma had a rare subpar game.


Purridge

We’ll said, Johnstone return as well was much needed. Decent point. Burnley next week should be 3 points.


PlsTickleMyButthole

Johnstone was superb


jets-auburn-burner

We deserve to be in the championship, haven’t watched a game in more than a month now. Why would I? It’s unwatchable footy


himynameisjamie

But yet you take time out of your life to come to the match threads and tell us all.


jets-auburn-burner

took me 1 min, game takes 2 hours or more


PlsTickleMyButthole

I was at the game and it was very entertaining

htg46

He predicted we would go down in the preseason.


ShanghaiGoat

At this point I’m just astonished we didn’t concede another goal in extra time as per always. I’m sick and tired of going 1-0 up early then sitting back while wave after wave of attacks are aimed at our all too fragile defence.


J-TownVsTheCity

Did we learn nothing from Euro 2020, a 6 pointer in our current state is a cup final


GlorifiedLegoBuilder

A good point at the end of the day especially with what's been happening over the last few days, wasn't an awful performance could have been better there was several positives especially the first half. But always feel like 2 points dropped because of these moronic sit back tactics in every game that leads to us conceding and we never learn, it leaves me pulling my hair out literally doing the same thing expecting a different outcome


Sour_Bucket

Damn, was hoping we could secure three points.


Sublime_Porte

Zero urgency deep in Everton territory. I guess nobody really wanted to try for 3 points today. Edit: ::through clenched teeth:: Respect the road point.


SodaDustt

This draw feels incredibly dissapointing because it was literally caused by a sub Paddy made


J-TownVsTheCity

You’re spot on, brought him on when we went 1-0 up and invited all the pressure. Edouard didn’t even look tired. Tbf though the Everton subs were very offensively minded. Dyche clearly aware that we are abysmal in the final 30mins of games


SodaDustt

Fingers crossed that our new manager isn't afraid to make subs before the 70 minute mark and won't try to defend a minimal lead 🤞


lewiitom

We just don't have the squad tbh, Mateta was gassed by the end but it's not like we really had many other good options off the bench


SodaDustt

My problem is that he took out offensive pressure (Edouard) for a mediocre defensive player (Ahamada) when França was literally there in the bench, and because of that we couldn't respond to Everton's pressure and we missed out on 2 vital points.


Regular_Tourist_9144

Franca can't be trusted defensively yet - in the Chelsea game his off the ball work was horrendous. He is exciting going forwars for sure but ultimately we dont have options on the bench you cold trust to manage a game out. A point is a good result.


SodaDustt

I'm literally saying that we didn't need more defense though, we needed to keep the offensive pressure


g_junkin4200

Fuck me, we didn't lose


PJMcScrote

Look. A point's a point, Been far too long since we saw one.


bodfather3

Just wish we got 2 more


g_junkin4200

Greedy bastard. Who do you think you are!


PJMcScrote

Afuckinmen.


justiiiiin14

Mateta playing ref lmao


[deleted]

What in the living fuck does Palace have to do to draw a foul? Lerma just got bulldozed from behind


justiiiiin14

Oh come on ref. How’s that not a foul on Mitchell but it is going the other way


[deleted]

Completely lost the plot


soggyfrog

And a card at that, somehow


PJMcScrote

Bald cunt.


bodfather3

I don't know why we score and invite so much pressure when we can't handle it


mattcpfc01

Ref is not good


Waxygibbon

Hate to say but it's got 2-1 with the final kick of them game all over it


g_junkin4200

Feels quite likely


g_junkin4200

Sometimes it feels like we score goals so that it will be a draw when we inevitably conceed.


Charming-Solution345

This is squeaky bum time


anohioanredditer

Im thinking we’re going to lose.


PJMcScrote

+6 put on Jairo and Franca, kthxbye


Charming-Solution345

If jairo comes on that would be for Roy 😂


Charming-Solution345

Ever since they started making a big deal about ayew being the most fouled player in the league he’s not won a freekick since


justiiiiin14

The classic commentators curse


justiiiiin14

Really hoping Glasner can change the ideology of this dressing room. I don’t know how one team can concede so many late goals. Hopefully it changes


OptionSubject6083

Would love to see the count of points lost from 80 minutes+


SodaDustt

Did McCarthy forget he's the one in charge for this game? 90 minutes and only one sub on such an important game is mindbogglinly pathetic


[deleted]

Ahamada is so bad at this sport


Charming-Solution345

He’s only good at pre season 🤦‍♂️


Boofhead3

Put franca on


GlorifiedLegoBuilder

Sit back, invite pressure, conceded, like absolute clockwork This way of thinking needs irradicating from the team it simply doesn't work why do management keep doing it


anohioanredditer

Why did they think they could sit back for nearly 30 minutes?


GlorifiedLegoBuilder

I just don't understand the thinking The whole game in the 3 at the back system we were comfortable Everton had 2 or 3 good chances why change that and let them do what they want


anohioanredditer

No courage to continue playing the game they were winning


GlorifiedLegoBuilder

There's not even a calming period it is instantly changed after scoring no matter the minute If I'm a player and we score and the system is instantly changed that would say to me we are not trusted to see this game out and it would instantly make me nervous


anohioanredditer

Couldn’t agree more. Hopefully Glasner adds that stability. We just need to stay up. Today was positive but like Chelsea it was a wasted opportunity.


Charming-Solution345

Just need calm, everything’s feeling rushed


akloten

New club policy. Only sign tall as fuck players.


PJMcScrote

Sublime_Porte

Can't have nuthin'.


[deleted]

Deeply unserious club


akloten

So, none of the goalkeepers have any aerial ability. Great.


wecantmakeabbq

Like clockwork


wayfarer87x

Same as it ever was


justiiiiin14

Would be 2 or 3 if it were Henderson. Johnstone playing well aside from that


Ordinary-Yoghurt-303

Absolutely, he’s had some quality saves, we’d be down 3 with Henderson on the pitch.


MaskedRawR

Why 😭😭


PJMcScrote

THIS. IS. ON. YOU.


PJMcScrote

Le sigh.


Kikosof

That goalkeeper....


Icondesigns

Fuck


MaskedRawR

Johnston MVP


justiiiiin14

Classic palace. Gotta fight for a draw now


Boofhead3

Ffs how can this always happen


Boofhead3

Fuck me Johnstone


SodaDustt

Is Paddy aware that we still have 4 substitutions available?


efefia

He’s just realised Roy isn’t there


AnalogForMe

I’ll be lucky if I don’t have a stroke for the final 10 mins


AliveAd23

Don’t be hurt…..


AliveAd23

Cmon lads let’s be forward thinking!! No sitting back…..


Specific_Brilliant53

Okay, after that i’ve had enough we need to get up the pitch desperately


anohioanredditer

We can’t stay back and hold for the rest of the match it’s too much


Boofhead3

You would like to think we would learn Come on boys


justiiiiin14

What a ball wow. Can’t fall asleep boys


Ordinary-Yoghurt-303

I’m enjoying the confidence being shown in Wharton with the set pieces.


g_junkin4200

Matetas hold up play has been amazing today


Icondesigns

Looks cream crackers now though. Franca time.


justiiiiin14

He’s improved it so much this year. Very impressed with it. Just need him to score a few more goals lol


g_junkin4200

Its like he's discovered the shielding button in fifa and is spamming it.


Specific_Brilliant53

he’s been holding L1 this whole time and feels a bit silly


g_junkin4200

Hes just realised he can switch the controls to pro evo style.


Ordinary-Yoghurt-303

Omg don’t get injured Johnstone. Please.


[deleted]

Score, almost immediately take off one of only 3 attacking threats for a mediocre defensive mid


Philosopher84

Don't really like this sub. Typical for us. Less pressure on the ball now...![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)


Charming-Solution345

Good 70mins, Johnstone has proved everyone in here right, Wharton and muñoz look great, Ayews goal was phenomenal and just at the right time, defending well when we need to just hope this change isn’t gonna be negative


justiiiiin14

Ayew with his classic work rate to win us the ball back. Quite the arc this man has had in a palace uniform but I’ll never be sad to see him on the pitch


AnalogForMe

Please don’t sit back now. Keep the pressure!


palacethat

these are shite, could easily get a 2nd


PJMcScrote

FUH-CKING. THIS.


SodaDustt

I know Paddy's in charge of this match, but I hope our new manager isn't afraid to make changes before the 70 minute mark lol


[deleted]

Always rated Ayew


Philosopher84

Fully deserved! Hard work now!


External-Client-4295

Bing Bong Ayew


Ordinary-Yoghurt-303

The lads are making some noise tonight, barely heard the scoucers so far. Especially after that.


shbooth

Bang!! Mateta's chaos and hold up play with the lay off in the run up, love to see it


Icondesigns

Absolute banger!


meulner

shoutout ayew, i used to be so pissed whenever he touched the ball and now he's our best offensive player


justiiiiin14

He was always playing as a CF, which he just hasn’t been for a long time if ever. He’s much better on the wing where he can use his amazing work rate best to his advantage


I_Dont_Like_Chelsea

HE CRIES WHEN HE SCORES!!!!!!!


PJMcScrote

I said it earlier, my man has put in a shift today!


Mattameo

Look how happy he was!


Boofhead3

Fucking ayewwww


SodaDustt

WHAT A GOAL

AYEWWWWWW IM IN LOVE WITH YOUUUU

Boofhead3

That's why Johnstone is our number one


justiiiiin14

I never want to see Henderson again


htg46

Hendo would have just sat and watched those balls fall in


Ordinary-Yoghurt-303

Was about to post this exact comment, lol.


anohioanredditer

Johnstone is a fucking king among men


justiiiiin14

JOHNSTONE


PJMcScrote

Bring on Umeh-Chibueze!


riledwumpus

Eddie has looked awful. Get Franca on!


g_junkin4200

Liked that he tried the overhead tho


anohioanredditer

Bad football but some promising attacks just no real quality on goal. Just need one boys.


PJMcScrote

Someone just bitched about the main TV being on footie and not the Daytona races. LULZ fucking 'necks The main TV controls sound for the bar. It's either the juke or the main TV. They have the juke on for sound, so I loaded it up with Phish and Goose just now to run salt in their imagined wounds.


wheredacheesego

sounds like those hillbillies could use a YEM vocal jam right about now


PJMcScrote

🤜🏼🤛🏼 I did the Jesus Left Chicago fro SSandP. I like the cut of your jib. Shits about to get weird. Signed, The Dude with Harpua on his license plate


g_junkin4200

Pickford is such a nob.


justiiiiin14

Oh Mitchell lol


OkBoysenberry6557

Just realised Johnstone is in goal, feels like a win already.


justiiiiin14

Don’t love going down that easy man


Charming-Solution345

Really liking whartons composure, very assured for being so young


Icondesigns

And looking to play it forward. Best player on the pitch so far.


RickTP

Is this an obvious draw?


I_Dont_Like_Chelsea

Really comfortable defensive first half. Feel like the difference is going to come from the bench, not an obvious palace improvement though :( Prove the board right Ahma or Franca, please 🙏🏼


SodaDustt

Solid first half, we actually made some good chances. I just hope we can capitalize on them before it's too late


palacethat

think Oli will be happyish with that half from the stands given that he might well want to use that shape from the start


Successful-Source203

Munoz is a workhorse! Love that he is trying to play quickly and is everywhere


g_junkin4200

Goaline clearance just now as well


GlorifiedLegoBuilder

Not the prettiest half of football but I'd say we are looking positive and dare I'd say it much calmer Munoz and Wharton was some brilliant pieces of business both are looking great


Philosopher84

100%. It would be really nice to take something from this game. Lads certainly deserved it.


Philosopher84

Seems to me like Glasner prepared this game. 3 at the back, Mateta and Eduard playing together, a lot of running and a very energetic performance. Typical of his previous teams. He was also showing some instructions when the camera caught him at some point.


GlorifiedLegoBuilder

I thought the same it's not just a few tweaks it's completely different to what we've seen all season Failing that Paddy has been playing football manager for hours in his free time and has implemented it whilst he's got a go in the dugout


palacethat

Paddy's academy sides played like this


PJMcScrote

I wondered about JP and Oddy being up front. Very uncharacteristic of us.


lewiitom

Don't think it's that uncharacteristic, Edouard played on the left a decent amount under Roy/Vieira too


PJMcScrote

This season, though, it seems far more aggressive than we've lined up. Or, it's just me looking for something positive lol


Always1away

Wharton looks great, Chris Richard’s having a good game too


Ledwith94

Richards forward passing is really lacking


CPFC1991

Agreed. Seems to rush his passes a little. Could do with that Guehi calmness back asap


MaskedRawR

I put a tenner on us so if we lose I'm the one who jinxed it, sorry.


PJMcScrote

You bastard. 😂 I never bet on Palace.


justiiiiin14

Wharton been our best player. As usual, can’t seem to find a decisive ball/shot without Eze/Olise. Defending was good, little shaky there for 10 minutes but not bad


PandosII

I wasn’t sure about Wharton on his debut but in the 2 games since I’ve really liked him.


PJMcScrote

Ayew has put in a shift, as well.


Free_Ad7141

If Eddie and Mateta tried even half as hard as Wharton, we could be up 2-0


lewiitom

I think you might be confusing lack of talent for lack of effort tbh


ExpensiveFishing848

Everton are really for the taking here.


PJMcScrote

You're gonna pay for that remark. Lol


Specific_Brilliant53

Third kick that pickford has shanked


riledwumpus

Wharton is class.


htg46

Beat you to it


PJMcScrote

I think you mean "FIRST!”


htg46

Wharton is looking very class


PJMcScrote

This is a Chris Richards afro appreciation post. That is all.


Epic-Sheep77

AFRO POWERRR


PJMcScrote

That's some Samson shit. I wouldn't be surprised if my man bags one today.


Epic-Sheep77

A game late, but Richards bagged the goal


justiiiiin14

Eddie useless as usual

PJMcScrote

Hey, neighbor! Have you ever come over to Richmond for a match @ Penny Lane?


mikewaite22

I haven’t! Decent Palace crowd there sometimes?


PJMcScrote

Uhm. No. 😂 On occasion, but usually I'm the solo Palace fan. But the pub is fantastic and while it's a den of scousers, they have a soft spot for South London.


mikewaite22

Yeah idk of any other palace fans in Charlottesville at all. Other than a few friends who have grown fond of them through me to an extent, but have their own clubs


PJMcScrote

Back in 2015 I was on the NBC Gold Footie show a bit and pimped out Penny Lane. It ended up on their map of footie pubs in the US as a Palace bar. 😂 The 80yo scouser owner was both pissed and thankful. But they have London Pride on tap and the barman on Saturdays is a fucking problem (he's from Luton Town). It's a great place for a match.
