Crystal Palace (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

So many balls given away. Happy to come away with a draw to be honest. Gundogan looked like his former self. Rico loves to fall down, he just isn’t physically capable at this level. I love how people think our squad over the years has been overly stacked with talent but this is pretty much the same team bar 1 or 2 players.

Haaland also cannot play every game, even if he doesn’t get hurt, he may need a rest, what was the plan once we let Alvarez leave ?
 
Walker in the second goal!!!! Can he jump?

A few weeks ago we would have lost that, so I guess it's progress of sorts. Still frustrating, but it's not an easy place to go at the best of times. With so many players unavailable it was always going to be difficult today. Need to start seeing results in the context of a top four battle, rather than the title, as that's long gone.
 
Well done blues.

I'll post before the rags and dippers and city-fans-for-2 years start creating havoc with their wum posts and entitled posts.

Great point. Could come in handy come the end of the season. After not winning in 7 games it's just baby steps for a while. We're dead on our feet, half the team not fully fit yet we've picked ourselves up and won 1 and drawn 1.

Told you this season will be tough, we need to be patient and look at the bigger picture, something most on here forget to do.

Well done boys.
 
I’m getting fucked off at the players who are constantly injured. Stones, Akanji, Ake it’s becoming a joke at this point. We can’t build any momentum cause we’re changing the team every fucking match. Take the draw and move on. Big week ahead
 
Only Juve, rags and Villa next.

Very poor again.

Can’t pass the ball, get caught out in the non existent midfield.

Walker can’t pass and can’t defend.

Rico scored very good goal but again exposed.

Shell of a team.

More pain to come.

The ref is a prick.

The fall from grace is here and it’s awful to watch.

Poor recruitment for whatever reason is the main issue. Negligent from the club imo.

Looked at times like the players couldn’t give a shit.

Different match same issues evident.

Huge rebuild needed to get anywhere near previous standards.
 
Got away with that....so poor al around.

Gundo is done....he is actually a hinderance and keeps losing possession

Walker has never been able to defend crosses...he now cant defend full stop.

KDB isnt able to run....he can barely get past a jog....if he has time and space he as the magic in his boots but he aint going to get the time and space he needs...

Our midfield set up and individual players are leaving the likes of Dias (who is one of only a couple who had a good game) totally exposed.

Lewis is getting away with it (from the fans point of view) as he is from the academy but he simply isnt good enough - again like Gundo he is constantly giving up possession. His goal does nothing to change the overall picture.

The biggest issue is Gundo and Lewis and right back.....all need replacing asap.

Even Bernardo payed poor today - his giveaway that led to the second goal from the corner...


Play like that the rags will beat us convincingly with the amount of pace they have in midfield and upfront.....forget about the CL we need to focus on making sure we qualify for it next year

If Grealish and Doku weren't fit enough to start, his only other options were McAtee and Simpson-Pusey. No manager would put either player in that lineup today

Wasn’t fit to start both played the other day, looked fine when they came on. Where as Bernado the poor lad looked absolutely spent. Add to that I wouldn’t have Rico or Kyle anywhere near this team, he needs to adapt, could of gone with a back 3 of Simpson Dias Josko.
