Hopefully booked their tickets for Pride as it's hard to get into now.
 
Very slow build up, no one making runs of the ball, every pass is sideways. Needs to put a rocker up them at HT

The second goal came when walker attempted something other than his safe 2 yard pass and gave it to palace.

The second goal came from a set piece.

less than 1% of corners result in a goal, so to concede from essentially 2 corners is a set piece defending issue.

People are overreacting to Walker being in a new role because it's the most obvious choice, but Palace haven't had any chances from open play and no one had an issue with it in the first 2 games when he was similarly not Pirlo.

These match threads have a bad habit of just latching onto the most visible difference from normal and deciding that must be 100% to blame for all our issues. Any time Pep drops a player, picks a player, moves someone to a different position or generally doesn't play the exact way we did the week before, people rush to blame it even when it usually has nothing to do with a bad result.

Shut up. What do u expect ? Look at this Walker positioning? It’s not working . In no Game did it work. Why is he still doing this? Why are we giving up Zinchenko if Pep wants a RB who gets the ball much more often? Also no winger who actually has pace and goes at players. Look at that bench.

You spoilt little bitch
 
Don’t worry lads Kyle walker is gonna be controlling the middle of the pitch and will unleash the team.

I would say booing is not on. 4 league titles out of 5. Yes you can shout about players, but booing them off at half time is small time bollocks.

Oh,and do one with your happy clappers. I'm far from that.

So should we clap them off at ht because of that? Ffs, didn’t realise we were devoid of criticism
 
Very weird atmosphere in the stadium.

Not good but it's hard to get excited when the performance has been so awful. I'd happily take a draw right now.
 
We all thought we'd walk the league when we signed Haaland. At the moment we can't even win a game. We look devoid of ideas and we can't even get Haaland in on goal. What the fuck is going on.

We can't get away with poor games in the first half of a season then expect to snatch it back in the second half. This season it will be too hard.

Yeah okay. Cheering the players after one of the worst half’s we have played in years that’s going to work. People have paid their very hard earned money to watch that shit. If they want to boo they are allowed to! 4 leagues out of 5 mean Jack shit, it’s in the past and you can’t get complacent as a team or you go backwards fast.
