  John Collins in What we learned from Crystal Palace 2 - 2 Everton
• \"Fair enough, Everton stuck to their plan. But now, it is increasingly hard not to look back at that window and think those of us who were calling it a mistake have been proved right.\"rnrnFair enough indeed. But aside from the fact that we\'re not quite out of Europe yet (I still believe two wins will get us into the Conference League), I would point out two factors you overlook, Patric.rnrnOne is that there were very few players available in January that could have helped us, and they were all quite expensive. We certainly weren\'t going to outbid City for Semenyo. Should we have spent £35m on Brennan Johnson? Palace did and he\'s been a complete bust. Conor Gallagher? Tammy Abraham? Strand Larsen? Hah. I\'d argue the only deal we missed out on was Rayan at £25m, and Beto has outscored him 7 to 5 since he signed. rnrnThe other is that recent history is kind to clubs that make a plan and stick to it (Bournemouth, Brighton, Brentford), and we...

• I agree. Merlin is not a winger. KDH needs to look over he\'s shoulder. He should have been substituted for Coleman to go right back and Merlin moved to replace KDH....
  Colin Malone in Crystal Palace vs Everton: Player Ratings
• We have got some good players, but we need a few more. I blamed Keane, for the first, for the second I just think it’s how we defend and anyone who watches us play will know that we don’t really have any front foot defenders moving towards and trying to read the cross, because they all position themselves close to our goal, trying to get a vital block....
  Tony Abrahams in What we learned from Crystal Palace 2 - 2 Everton
• It is a conundrum Tony. Do you leave a player on that scored before, but isn't having a great game. Or do you play someone that is doing all right, but doesn't have the goal or assist track record. I think that has been the case a lot this season. It isn't an easy decision either way. Is Garner a defensive midfielder? Not sure he is....
  Ian Bennett in Everton squander another winning position as Mateta levels it
• Why would anyone want to sell Ndiaye when it's clear that our current set-up is never going to get the best out of him?rnrnWe play with one striker, one attacking midfielder (Ndiaye), two defensive midfielders, one (often) isolated right midfielder, two unadventurous full-backs, two deep lying central defenders and a goalkeeper.rnrnWhen you pair Keane and Tarkowski, you have got to defend deep; although this didn't stop us creating chances yesterday, there were a few times when Dewsbury-Hall was our furthest man forward, looking for support....
