Crystal Palace (A) | Post Match Thread

[Tangled up in blue.]

Disappointing result, but there will be more twists and turns to come in the title race. Beating Liverpool at The Etihad will make things look a lot better.

It might be too late by then

A decent performance and very unlucky not to win. Ten men behind the ball, every game, is pissing me off, as are the commentators who made endless references to Liverpool, all game, and when they weren't, it was constant chat about how Palace could win.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

we need this fraud gone.

Sniff

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Need a decent striker, Sergio, Dzeko, or even Dickov up front and we would have won that easily.

 

[wolviedinho]

Our form has been off now for 3/4 games. Not good enough to be champions this season.

Apart from the second half against the rags, Chelsea was our last decent performance.

The rot has set in, dropping points all over the place.

Pep can we stop using Phil as the false 9. Rodri looks wrecked just like the end of last season and Bernie is awful at the moment.

Anyway, back to back title takes monumental effort and we are short of goals unfortunately.

 

[meltonblue]

Really??

Yes really!

 

[Cobwebcat]

almost certainly cost us the title tonight - no fucking subs is utterly baffling

4 points clear and almost certainly lost the title..how much have you put on Liverpool?

Dont tell me I know it’s nothing.

 

[manimanc]

it is when the dippers are looking like they're not dropping points in ANY game

Pmsl bless

95th fucking minute. 0-0. we get a throw in with about 30 seconds left. What does jack grealish do? He goes and picks a random fight with nathanial clyne. absolutely unbelievable. Maybe the least intelligent player i've ever seen at this club

He would have taken the throw if Clyne hadn’t kicked it out as he went to grab it.

 

[Matt Diablo]

Personally i think swinging ball into the back post about 8ft high is really good fukin tactic

 

[LongsightM13]

Make no mistake that was a massive bottle job. Panicky all over the pitch and you could see it getting to them. Time to man the fuck up.

 

[Deleted member 77198]

title gone

What with 27 points still to play for? It’s not the second to last game of the season! That’s a bit of shit house post at this stage

 

[jaiguruKun]

Absolutely bizarre to not replace Grealish with Sterling. Grealish is having no luck, Sterling or Jesus have that knack of being in the right place at the right time.

Grealish played ok. Bernardo and Foden were poor tonight.

 

[Coatigan]

4 points clear.

Would not swap.

I would.

Seriously. I would take being 4 points behind, with a game in hand, and their momentum. The pressure is very much on us, and it is showing. The match against them is huge.

 

[Grealish’s Shinpads]

Need Arsenal to do us a solid favour on Wednesday

 

[Katsunari Takayama]

Great point. Different circumstances but it reminds me of the point away to Stoke in the 11/12 run in. If you can’t win it, don’t lose it. Could be the point that makes all the difference.

At least one point clear with only 9 games left. Once again, offer that to anybody with a pair of bollocks in August and they’d have snapped your hand off.

 

[BlindEyeSeesAll]

At least we didn't lose - that's all I can say about that

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

No one wants to score. Nerves have got to them.

I think in years gone by when the pressure end of the season has come, we’ve had players that stuck to our game and didn’t panic.
Currently we don’t look like we can control these situations. Poor passing and decision making and finishing. We are not cool in front of goal.
I hate saying it, but we do not look like a championship winning side at the moment and haven’t for over a month.

We had countless chances to win it but we constantly make mistakes and the confidence looks like it drains from us. Too many players not on it at the moment. We look so anxious all the time.

 

[SCEtoAUX]

Reasonable performance in a game we knew would be tough. Too many silly mistakes though, Phil right off it, a few others below par and why no subs is beyond me. At least give them something different to think about.

Have to beat the dippers now, no question about it in my opinion.

Only real positive is that Jack is looking the real deal and we didn't lose when we might well have done.

 

[citymad]

No attempts on goal after 75 mins.

Pathetic

Stop talking about yourself!
