Ouch, another caning for Everton. Sorry vortex. Welcome to the bottom three club! But unlike Palace, I have every faith it'll just be a short visit for you guys.

I wish I could say the same thing man. This is looking pretty pathetic. I wish I knew what happened. I mean we not only can't score any goals, we can't defend for sh*t now either. Koeman better do something and do it soon or he'll be the next de Boer.

They've done a Tottenham. They sold Bale and brought in a raft of new players with the money but they just didn't click right away and/or were outright clunkers which took them another season or two to recover from. You've sold Lukaku and splashed the cash but nothing's clicked just yet.

As for Palace, if we make it out of the next two Manchester games with less than 10 goals scored against us then I'll take that. Christ, just scoring a goal ourselves in the right net would be a bonus.

Did her boyfriend tell her about Chelsea short history of success which was backed by a man with money that when he first came to England to look at clubs to invest he didn't know who Chelsea were and didn't know anything about football so the question she should be asking Chelsea fans is where would we be without Roman Abramovich and do i look nice today.

Sorry about the weekend guys, I was too angry to post. I smashed my iPad as well. Embarrassed about it now. It was a very rare moment of rage from someone who is normally mild mannered. i love my tech so I was gutted. Buying a new one in time for IOS 11.

Amazed Everton didn't sign a big name striker on deadline day. Thought it was a cert.

Palace look low in confidence Geoff. Sorry to say it, but they look like we did last year. They have the players to finish outside bottom 3.but as you know, the more the rot sets in...........

Trust me, you did the right thing. It was an Apple product after all.

This is exactly why I was always wondering why you all thought that we made such huge improvements to our squad. We spent all this money, and not one true striker was signed. But our lack of scoring and poor offensive schemes have a lot to do with Koeman. He needs to make adjustments with our current squad in mind, and he needs to do it quickly. We've looked absolutely lost out there these past few weeks.

We're not just losing games by a goal or two, we're getting smashed (shut out no less) by three and four. That is unacceptable.

You don't have to tell me, since we went joint 4th in the table in December 2015 it's all fallen apart and all the Cup Final run and Fat Sam did is paper over the cracks. They're unfit, unfocused and unworthy of pulling on the Palace shirt. Relegation and a complete clearing of the decks - along with Parish resetting his own big time Charlie expectations of this club - wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. It's been a great run but it's been a struggle from day 1, literally, and the good ship Palace will finally hit the Championship rocks at the end of this season.

Rooney has to be a improvement and also Pickford and that midfielder I can't be bothered to spell from Swansea lol. But a striker was the necessity as you know. Also, Lormwn can't seem to get the players to gel. It will cone good though I think. Maybe not with Koeman though!

I mean there were definitely upgrades in many areas, just not necessarily from a goal scoring standpoint. Hopefully this team will gel together soon though.

I hate to say this bud, but that win against your squad was just what the doctor ordered yesterday. I'm sorry, but we definitely needed a lift me up game after four atrocious performances in a row.

That bloke's name is Gylfi Sigurdsson by the way. I know it's a mouthful.

It was just so limp. In fact, those players would be limp even if Charlize Theron was standing on the pitch in her suspenders.

Congrats to you mate, we need to worry about the league. I can’t afford a trip to Wembley agin anyway.

I know, I just couldn’t be bothered to Google the spelling. (how lazy is that!)

My mind went blank after last Saturday's result Steedeel (couldn't remember who we played and the result a few days later), and especially after last night's result against Manchester City. But I'd rather us concentrate on the league than any cup competition (although I would like to see us get far in a cup competition). A draw was better than losing against West Ham last Saturday.
