What a way to kill Scherpens confidence as well. Such a strange decision, which is only warranted if he has a knock, but even then you’d probably just put Palmer on the bench.


That is the issue.

Confidence is so important.

Pleased to see DOS play at centre half this afternoon.

Get the impression with the goalkeeper situation the style of play will be more defensive as the new lad is much more attacking and wanting to find a quick pass.

Id understand if walton did well midweek but he didnt.


By Scherpen's standards Walton was good midweek.

1. Utd 5th: off his line, didn't get there, lobbed.
2. Liv 1st: near post hand-height. Through his hands.
3. Liv 2nd: Off his line, no-mans-land.
4. One or other of the two goals at Palace was reachable

That's nearly half our goals conceded this season. Also Scherpen lucky to get away with pass straight to Adam Wharton in a central position at Palace.

Walton on Tues was not at major fault for any goals, only pass wide to Nunez was partly intercepted, but Nunez got a touch on it, and it was Greaves and Ouattara more at fault for not winning the second ball they were favourites for. Much more for Arsenal to do than the sitter Wharton was gifted.

Get behind Walton!

I simply do not believe that GON is the type to do this. He comes across as a decent man manager.

I'm guessing a slight knock and they just decided not to risk it getting worse. I reckon he's just on the bench as it's a very slight issue and it's just a precaution..

Certainly liking Ouattara at right back, should improve the defence. However surely Tuesday was the time to try him out at RB and not LB? Keeper decision very strange.

Walton should have done better with 3 of the 4 goals.

Why does he protected but scherpen doesnt.

Waltons weaknesses are scherpens strong points. Set pieces. Crosses. Etc

Bets on any everton goals today being from crosses or set pieces


And Everton are a team who tend to struggle to score from open play IIRC. Walton was decent last season but I think it's too early to be switching keepers : especially considering Walton's performance against Arsenal.

I think it's a tactical call as it is a tough away game.

Would expect to see the big fella back in goal for Fulham next time, possibly.

Scherpen will, no doubt, know what happened with Muric.

If he's been dropped for anything other than fitness reasons, it's going to be a colossal test of Scherpen's confidence and willingness to bounce back, as well as for the fans to do their bit.

Not a prophet, or a stone-age man; just a mortal with potential of a superman.

Scandalous that Scherpen is dropped, even more so after Walton’s midweek performance.

[Post edited 19 Sep 13:47]


Totally agree. Walton not pren quality. Not good on crosses. Not good one on one. Parrys everything back into danger zone.

Someone on here got slated yesterday for saying Walton would start! Clearly they knew something. For me, after the mid week showing, concerned Walton is playing. Must be a knock for the number one keeper at the club.

Like DOS at CB.

No surprise though. He's had a shocker so far this season. A few people have tried to pretend that there's nothing to see, but he let a lot of goals in where you think 'hmmm...should have saved that'. Especially for an expensive keeper. This could be Sereni all over again, but hopefully he gets better.

Big call to drop the GK after 4 appearances.


What McKenna should have done with Muric instead he prevailed for months .

‘He’s had a shocker’

What a massive hyperbole. 2 relative mistakes against Liverpool and that’s it.

Walton is nowhere his level, even if you think Scherpen is crap.

"should have done better with 3 of the 4 goals" - how?

1st - smashed into corner from centrally inside box.
3rd - slid into corner
4th - in off inside of post

All unsavable.

And when he did drop muric the side got worse. We conceded more set piece goals and the number of saves made went down

And what do we do when Walton is exposed for what he is - a decent to good Championship keeper but little more. Switch to Palmer?

You give someone more than a handful of games to adjust to a new, tougher, league.

Your username's a bit ironic here, given that you don't!

Nor does anyone else.

Maybe Scherps has had an illness & isn't back to full strength, so it's preferable for him to not have a whole 90+ minutes.

I do think we should recall our Van in Jan though (still not getting any minutes on loan afaik.

It's how I feel, right now he just doesn't fill be with confidence, maybe our defence feels that too, GON obviously does...

If not 100% it should be palmer on bench no?

If walton goes off injured inside a minute weve got a keeper who isnt 100%

If he's injured or sick surely it'd make more sense to have Palmer on the bench?
