Knee Jerk 5.

1. A terrible first half, but credit to Moyes for making the right changes, and to the players for showing exactly the attitude needed against a very good Palace side.

2. Beto gets some stick, but the fella makes things happen - tremendous attacking of the header for the second. He'll never be pleasing on the eye, but he's the best option for now. Perhaps make him sub to wind him up and send him on for Barry after ten minutes.

3. Grealish. You've got to love the lad. Clearly loves it at Everton, even when he was getting booted from arsehole to breakfast time, and deserves to get a winner like that.

4. Gana immense in the last half an hour - covered every blade of grass.

5. Jordan Lee Pickford. Good night.

Got it all together and I'm ready to seethe.

1 - Dibling is not a winger

2 - hope Moyes sits Garner down and tells him he's a RB from now on

3 - i'd love to know why VAR thought the punch didn't warrant a red card. It's absolute bollocks that it needs a player to fall down and pretend their in agony in order for the laws to be applied properly

4 - Alcaraz was Susie Perb there today. Made up for him - very harshly rteated so far this season imo

5 - really wish the club and the local pubs would relaise that we don't want music blaring out - we're there to talk about Everton and catch up with each other. Fuck the music off or lower it down. The Bramley Moore Social was almost physically painful on the ears.

Why don't you think Dibling is a winger? Not saying youre wrong like, I always thought he was. Additionally, I don't think he was any worse than grealish or ndiaye first half. But he was always going to be the one to get hooked (rightly so)

re 1 Given the club said the priority was bringing in a wide player and we spent most of the budget on Dibling, he'd better be able to play as a winger sooner than later.

3 Tarkowski is nails and everyone in the league knows it. If he ever did get decked, they won't even need to bother with VAR as it will be a straight red. He's not going to ground easy.

If he ever pulled a stunt like Ratcliffe did that time with Vinny Jones I'd be stunned.

Re 1) I asked the same question yesterday, I'm sure he played more central for Southampton.
Far too early to judge him yet though, he was up against a very good team yesterday as well.

Barry is the big concern for me but we have been there before writing players off and they come back and prove us wrong so fingers crossed.

Started 13 on the right, 4 centrally and 3 upfront last season in the league for the not so super Saints.

Re: Knee Jerk 5.

I remember him having loads of the ball all over the pitch against us last season

Re: Knee Jerk 5.

One of his rare starts in the middle that.

Re: Knee Jerk 5.

He played well that day although he was up against our midfield. We talk about right backs and centre forwards but our central midfield has been below standard for aing time.

Re no. 3. I hear you, but fück that let's as least cling on to some kind of sense. If Tarkowski had gone to the deck like 99.9% of the cûnts do these days, he'd have probably walked, which makes it even more ludicrous to be honest.

But I for one am glad he stayed on his feet and made no fuss about it, regardless of the rights or wrongs about it. The games sterile enough as it is.

He actually did go to ground a few seconds after the "punch" - saw him sat on the floor on the tellybox and wondered what had happened. All the clips of the punch end before he sat himself down though.

Re: Knee Jerk 5.

If it was earlier on in the game no doubt Tarky would have sorted it

Definitely.

Supposed to be nails isn’t he? Would be an absolute disgrace if he folded over after that tap…..

Obviously if he’d done it he would’ve been off and banned.

Everton, that.

You can tell he is by the way he just smiles whenever anyone starts having a go at him.

It’s like he’s thinking I could rip your head off dead easy.

Re: Knee Jerk 5.

Heard off someone who was at Burnley with him who said he was a really nice fella but proper nails….

My missus cousin knows him- she was telling me recently what a lovely fella he is…

She couldn’t confirm his nails status unfortunately *

*never asked her 🤣

Re: Knee Jerk 5.

Is rice. Yould be embarrassed to go down claiming that as a punch.

"It's what the game has become"

Case number 33843 in why the sport at the top level has become a load of shite.

Re: Knee Jerk 5.

Would he go down on the street from a punch like that and risk getting his head stamped on, obviously not which makes it even more laughable when players go down for absolutely fuck all.

Re: Knee Jerk 5.

"The dark arts"

What annoys me is how it's creeped in over the years that it's acceptable to "gain" an advantage and go down over minimal contact.

Remember the days of not wanting to stay down even though your leg was hanging off because your mates would laugh their head off at you for being a massive fart.

Re: Knee Jerk 5.

Yep. It seems by not giving the red card yesterday the PGMOL are effectively saying that you need to go down if you want the right decision to happen. It's a farce

Re 4
I really like Alcaraz and he links up well with Beto, seems to be the only player who puts the ball in front of the big dope to run on to, but hes definitely more of an impact off the bench.

As Dermot Gallagher just said on RefWatch (I know) - how can punching someone not be violent?

Should have been sent off.

Issue for me was Ref was clearly mouthing to Tarkowski who was moaning "I didn't see it" - if he didn't see it, then the VAR intervention is no more about referee's wide discretion and obvious error.

It should be "go the screen and look at the thing you missed"

Good shout on Beto. He looked like a competition winner Monday night, but today was far livelier and effective. Shame he didn't get the winner but it was still a key contribution and let's hope the whole 45 min (57 actually) gives his confidence a boost. I think Moyes sees him as the senior CF but performances like Mondays makes it very hard to show faith. That Beto today is the one the team needs and as others have said he does appear to enjoy playing with Alcaraz who I was convinced would start today. Alcaraz should be starting next game when sexy Jack misses out.

Re: Knee Jerk 5.

Beto made a difference but he should have buried that header.

Beto 2 minutes before chance basically gave them a golden opportunity by it bouncing off him again.

He was better than Barry and deserved grealish goal but... Jesus Christ

Couldn’t go so one of the lods has my ticket, so this is a telly clap 5…

1 the commentator being extremely complimentary/impressed with BMD, and the limbs looking quite smashing

2 first half, well yes we were dreadful but Palace were effortless and played very attractive soccerball

3 second half Alcaraz was the difference. Has that Peter Reid “I’m making this happen” attitude: brings others into the game and forces them to play. Seems much more effective in the middle, looks lost out wide

4 Grealish. Lovely play today. He’s two moves ahead of the rest a lot of the time and misses KDH but looked made up to score

5 loving the twelfth minute of eight extra time players dying of exhaustion aots. Surely the ref has a multi functional Casio that has a timer as well as a calculator on it, the nob

In fairness the game took a long time to start after the goal, then there was the VAR check for the Tarkowski incident and Ndiaye getting cramp.
I was convinced they were going to equalise with those long throws at the end.

I think he's the epitome of an Everton player, and what gets an Everton crowd going. Snapping into tackles, getting on the front foot, and driving forward. We don't respond well to slow football.
