“Observe this”… Following what he witnessed two Everton players doing during the warm-up against Crystal Palace, Jamie Carragher responds

Amadou Onana’s late header secured a draw for Everton against Crystal Palace on Monday night.

In a mostly dull match, Sean Dyche’s team couldn’t clinch their first Premier League victory of 2024.

Despite the outcome, Everton has moved out of the relegation zone,

although they’ve played one more game than Luton Town.

Jordan Ayew scored for the Eagles in the second half, but

Onana’s powerful header leveled the score.

Crystal Palace’s goal prevented Everton from achieving their ninth clean

sheet of the season, with only Arsenal having a better defensive record.

James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite have been key players in Everton’s strong defense.

During the live coverage of the match on Sky Sports Monday Night Football, Jamie

Carragher praised the defensive duo.

Carragher discussed the pair’s training routine before the game at Goodison Park,

highlighting their focus on maintaining a sideways stance, which he considers crucial for central defenders.

The fitness of Branthwaite and Tarkowski will be crucial for Everton, as their defensive

performance is comparable to that of a top-seven team, which should

help them avoid immediate relegation danger.

Dyche needs to find a solution to improve his team’s attacking efficiency.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s goal drought persists, and his return to form is crucial for Everton’s success.

Beto hasn’t performed as expected, with Onana and Abdoulaye Doucoure taking on much of the scoring responsibility.

Dyche commented on Everton’s Premier League appeal during his

post-match interview, expressing a desire for a speedy resolution to off-the-field matters.
