Crystal Palace PL (H) Post match thread

[Mr. Wednesday]

This team currently has a habit of conceding points late on and failing to pick up any points late on. Trends can change over the course of a season but it's getting a little worrying now and has to be put to bed.

Can't write the team off but presently nowhere near winning four in a row.

 

[WyongBlue]

Flippin garbage............

 

[Nour]

Maybe because theyre uttter shit

That's was not a good summer transfer

 

[dhruvblue]

Has anyone said good point already?

 

[madloaf]

Eddie oofed it at 92mins off the pitch and Pep looked like his head would fall off. Its that kind of bollocks that is causing us problems.

I know we've won before from this position, and we may well win again, but if we keep fucking up like this much longer it aint gonna happen.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Some right funking spanked arses on here tonight.

WE AREN'T SHIT.

We are still in this. We've been in worse positions and Pep has always found a way.

 

[wattle]

I love the man but all on pep that one. Terrible game management. It’s ok not making a sub if you win the game, but to just let it drift like that when it was obvious we needed changes is just crap management. We all have our off days but that one probably means it’s someone else’s turn to win it this season.

 

[Kippax77]

How can you be coasting a game at 2 nil up and end up drawing 2-2 to a team that hardly left their own half?

 

[HamannCheese]

Too much shitting around with the ball. Terrible game management. Zero words on Foden. Still unimpressed with Gvardiol. No penetration. No urgency. Brutal, just brutal.

 

[burnley blue mcfc]

Fuckin pissed two points away big time, pep needs to sort this shit out major, but why the fuck var don’t see the foul on Bernardo leading up to the pen is blatant cheating, suited the dipper cunts last weekend, rant over merry Christmas blues :)

 

[citytill1die84]

They were there for the taking -we played shit and then bent over for them.

We battered them for 75 minutes you clown Palace were shit, hung on and it paid off. City didn't play bad.

 

[Bluearmy]

Well who's fault is that? Pissed around instead of going for top targets and we ended up with last resorts. Even then Nunes and Kovacic are alright

Got to play midfielders in midfield. Criminal what were doing to ourselves. We have to play kovacic woth rodri in midfield. Stop this experiment of starting defenders in midfield. Barmy decision, this is not the same as stones playing the hybrid role as he did last season

 

[come-on-barney]

Whoever no longer has hunger can fuck off

That might be top to bottom.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Said it a few weeks ago, its a battle for 4th now

No need.

We'll qualify for the CL as champions again.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

I fully agree with you. But we've got to improve defensively. 16 goals conceded in the last 8 games in all competitions. That's piss poor.

It's not just the defence. The whole team defends. The whole team attacks. If they switch off in the last ten to fifteen minutes of games after virtually completely outplaying the other side it is a collective problem, and it is a serious one. And it really is becoming too frequent.

Edit: just realised that you weren't, in fact, putting it all on the defence. That's what comes of reading posts too quickly because you're seething with rage.

 

[Worzel Gummidge#9]

Not overly surprised.

We are not firing on all cylinders quite clearly and we are far too complacent at the moment.

 

[Mattyc55]

Do we only start defending properly from Feb onwards?

Seems like it’s the same shit every season but this one has been a lot worse as we’ve thrown away 10-12 points from winning positions. Really poor.

 

[MCFC Wirral]

Has anyone said good point already?

You?

 

[Blue Calx]

That trophy will be ours at the end of the season.

 

[Trickyblues]

Simply missed the big man upfront

We didn’t. Our ability to defend this season is questionable
