Importantly, a point was gained when Paddy McCarthy led the team to Goodison Park after Roy Hodgson resigned as manager.
Everyone will be happy with the final result, which was a 1-1 draw with Everton, even if Crystal Palace played far better than they have in previous months.
This also included a switch to a back three system, which Oliver Glasner, the new manager, is probably going to implement because he liked what he saw. Two players have already demonstrated that this design is ideal for them and that they may soon enjoy playing for the Austrian. The deployment of wing-backs in the match against Everton was particularly effective, as Daniel Munoz and Tyrick Mitchell both flourished with greater attacking authority.
Both players were given opportunities to score goals, but they also posed a significantly greater threat than they usually did.
Mitchell was outstanding on the left side, earning a 7.2 match rating from FotMob, who gave him credit for playing as a left midfielder. He had 73 touches, made nine defensive plays, won ten duels, created one opportunity, and missed one big opportunity.
Munoz, a right midfielder, received a match rating of 7. He got 54 touches, produced two opportunities, played five defensive plays, and prevailed in two duels.
