Everton Win vs Crystal Palace Marred by Moyes' Controversial Substitutions Amid Injury Absences

Everton secured a 2-1 comeback victory against Crystal Palace, ending the Eagles' 19-game unbeaten run, with Iliman Ndiaye converting a penalty and Jack Grealish scoring a stoppage-time winner. Despite the win, fans criticized manager David Moyes for his decision to substitute new signings Thierno Barry and Tyler Dibling at halftime, arguing it hampers their development. Moyes also confirmed that Jarrad Branthwaite and Merlin Röhl remain sidelined due to injuries, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is suspended after receiving a controversial fifth yellow card, which Everton officials are contesting. Moyes praised Jordan Pickford's growth as a goalkeeper and commented on the adjustment period for young striker Barry, emphasizing patience. Historically, Everton have had a strong record against Crystal Palace, including a recent unbeaten streak, but face a tough challenge given Palace's strong current form and defensive solidity. Moyes has not won a Premier League home game against Crystal Palace since 2013, adding pressure as Everton look to end a winless run amid mounting criticism over recent performances and team management.
