Crystal Palace (A) | Post Match Thread

[bluke]

Ederson - not much to do
Laporte - a criminal lack of concentration
Walker - rusty and looked disoriented at times
Cancelo - proactive and looking for the ball but his wayward passing killed his effort
Stones - getting better and better every game
Rodri - playing it safe and not taking any risk
Kev - tried to make things happen but ran out of ideas eventually
Bernardo/Grealish/Phil/Mahrez - created a couple of chances, but no end product. Two sitters missed by Bernardo - the first of them inexplicable.

Carry on playing like this, and it won't make a blind bit of difference.

We didn't do a lot wrong, nobody can be perfect in every game, everyone should know that by now. Liverpool haven't been brilliant lately and have got away with it, that won't work for them every week until the end of the season.

Don't get carried away with this "must win this game" media hype, there are 27 points to play for yet. Anything could happen.

I actually don’t think Pep wants us to play with pace… He mentioned something a couple of weeks ago that the quicker you play, the quicker the other team get the ball and counter. Which is absolutely what palace would have done and probably scored.

We were a much better side to watch when we had Leroy.

 

[madloaf]

I know it’s not his correct position, still not playing as well as he should.

If we played stones on left wing we'd have the same conversation. Hes wasted in the fucking false 9

We had a huge lead a couple months ago

 

[MadchesterCity]

Need Arsenal to do us a solid favour on Wednesday

Can’t see it though, can you

 

[Blu1]

Sorry pep we did not play a good game. We were poor & palace just sat back.

we lacked pace, passion & power tonight with a serious lack of subs at the right time. Stats mean shit when we drop points

still love ya you stubborn genius

 

[Kippax77]

Martinelli is the one to watch in that game. Seems an incredible prospect.

Sack of shit if the dippers win though

 

[Revolver]

Blimey some people are overreacting I think. We didn’t play at our best but still dominated a team that are difficult to beat.We’ve lost one game this calendar year ( I think) and are going for 3 trophies. We don’t have a devine right to stroll to the league.
If god forbid Liverpool win the league they will deserve it (and it will mean a summer sport media blackout) and it won’t be the end of the world. The team probably will need a freshen up so we will have to trust our manager. Our great support coped wIth years without a trophy so we can cope with this.

100mil for a player that just exists.

not one single defining moment in a whole season for a team as good as ours!

the likes of foden and Bernardo were poor today but they have big moments and match winning performances throughout the season.

grealish literally doesn’t have one and he’s played in our front 3 all season - even origi has a last minute winner. Diaz has done more in a month. These are the standards we need to compare ourselves against because us and the scousers are so far ahead of everyone else.

 

[madloaf]

We were a much better side to watch when we had Leroy.

And David.

 

[MCFCSteven]

Enjoy watching the women’s team. Sounds great. Must be rubbish watching the men’s team not performing like champions. Top of the league, lost 3,games. Another night....

Ffs some of you act like we're watford or something

 

[we are the east stand]

Sky’s coverage has turned into a pantomime and it’s practically unwatchable now.

Neville plays the know it all gobshite, Carragher the professional scouser, Keane the stooge etc, each with their own agenda. Souness apart, any attempt to provide interesting, impartial analysis has long since passed.

100% this mate.

it was never good but it’s turned into a parody like a wank YouTube channel these days

So many chances wasted, palace played out of their skins, it aint that bad

 

[Stelea]

That’s the weird thing. Yes you would normally think this but the fact we missed so many he may have been the hero you never know.

I wouldn’t bank on it

 

[Tevez City]

Not just our False nine, but our whole front 3 were below average tonight.

 

[argyle]

Need Arsenal to do us a solid favour on Wednesday

Arsenal will do will do what they usually do and that's fuck all.

They will roll over and be tickled by liverpool.

 

[stan bowles]

No it isn’t ffs.

We're likely to drop more points as well as those against the Dippers.

 

[Bluekiwi]

I think it’s written in the rules somewhere that teams raise their game when they play the champions. It’s a fact and it’s a compliment to us and what we’ve become. You can’t and don’t win them all. We are in the home straight and in a fantastic position in three competitions. Some of you seem to have already accepted that the dippers will beat us in a few weeks. Just stay a bit more positive or don’t post until you’ve slept ……and, enjoy the ride. If you can’t enjoy the buzz and the expectation take up bowls.

Good post and I agree but my blood pressure doesn't like games such as this latest one.

 

[NoFullNameThisTime.]

Mahrez frustrated me the most by far. Bernardo, Foden, Cancelo and Laporte were all poor.

Mahrez will never stop annoying me with how greedy he is and how much time he spends dawdling on the ball.

Think liverpool will probably go on and win the league now but I'm sure we will push it right to the end.
