Can anyone explain to me why a side who have made a Euro final and allegedly been on the piss for 3 days, at 2-2 75' show more desire to win the game than Everton who must win.
I don't think it's the players, I personally think it's the negative donkey in the dugout who actively refuses to have a go.
Everton start great, get the opener today. Then sit back and wait to concede. Good tactic considering the 2 donuts at CB. Again something the manager could adjust considering our 2nd best CB in the squad is at RB.
Everton score again, and surely every blue knew once again: okay, we'll try and defend the 2-1 rather than get 3-1. Inevitable, once again, mistakes from the CBs.
It's the same story every game, Everton are directed to contain when in a desired position no matter who the opponent is.
Glasner, a manager whose only desire is to win. Absolutely proper. I'd kill to watch my team play with that desire. Sure we'd lose plenty, but for me I'm sick to death of our safety first style. Where does it get us? Absolutely nowhere because we're still a bottom half team in probably the easiest season in memory to make Europe.
Glad we have a £42m winger on the bench that was last seen before Christmas. No other manager on the planet would refuse to give him 10 mins in our position. Suppose at least Charly Alcaraz got 90 seconds today.

Once Palace realised we couldn't defend crosses we were f***ed.

If the players could convert their chances, then we wouldn't be having a dig at the manager. Be interesting to see how many points we've dropped due to missed chances this season. The Premier League is unforgivable. If you don't score goals when the chances arise, then you invite pressure from the opposition and, without JB at the back, we are prone to conceding stupid goals.
Every fan has a right to bitch and moan about the manager, players etc. I'd say we have improved this season despite not having a class forward up top. Address that this summer and we will be in a better position again this time next year.

I agree, blue potato, but if a player is having a bad day/game I firmly believe it's down to the manager to make changes. KDH had a stinker today. He's a quality player but he had an off day. Alcaraz was on the bench. He tormented Palace last season and nabbed an assist and goal. He brings him on in the dying stages of injury time.
That was possibly the worst decision I have seen Moyes make. Less than two minutes to change a game. What does that tell Alcaraz bar "I don't think you are good enough"? The decision baffles me. It was pointless. We weren't killing time, we were supposed to be out to win it.

I think the worst decision was to bring subs on in extra time against City (excluding the injury) . I said to my son at the time, why bring on subs now, when all it does is give the ref the opportunity to add on time? Sadly, we know how that worked out!
