Lewis shared some blame for the first one as well

Even though he managed a goal he dragged the team down. The only positive is that he is better than Walker.

I think Rico was entitled to assume his 'captain' was concentrating on the game rather than the next woman he can flash at.

United will wipe the floor with us next week if we play like that

Only saving grace is that Lewis won't be playing, and hopefully Akanji is fit

As bad as we are, reading this kind of stuff is equally tiring.

 

[I'm Blue]

It's time to suck it up and get behind the team.
We're ravaged by Injuries, players playing more minutes without rest, we're in a bad run of form.
We haven't got a magic wand that we can wave and suddenly make it all better.
We need personnel back, we need new players, we need to fight and scrape our way back into form.
We've been blessed in recent years and right now we're struggling.
This is the time we need to get behind the boys.

Only thing about next week.
They're shit

 

[cookster]

Time to accept we're currently the 4-5th best side in the league.
We shouldn't be discussed in the title debate.

Worried for the next 2 games as Palace are shit and created 5-6 good chances.

 

[footballmanager]

its way too easy to pile in us when we are down. eff the corrupt premier league.

i dont expect our problems to get better until the defense gets healthier and kovacic comes back, we dont seem to have the horses atm

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Disappointing result better than getting beat.

2 or 3 players way off it, need at least 3 more players on Kev's wavelength.

Referee is a cheating **** though, robbed us of that last 15mins. Should be demoted, twat.

It's a toss up which needs to be cast into the nearest cesspit - our defending at their second goal or the referee's apology for a performance.

Will they fuck.

They'll shit the bed at ours.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Struggled at ? Not lost there since 2015.

I'm curious what are win rate is. Maybe it's at home versus Palace that we always struggle. Either way, I feel most teams struggle away at Palace.

 

[Blue Maverick]

Just have a fucking shot, stop trying to walk the ball in we haven’t got the players to do it

 

[oldius]

Mixed performance. Dias exceptional, referee poor, Lewis unfortunate, Walker another below par performance.

Ake, Akanji, Foden, Kovacic, Rodri, Bobb, Stones all out injured. In those circumstances, not bad. Of course, we could have gone for the same side as in the last game and then, when players get injured for playing too much, people here will be complaining that they shouldn't have been picked in the first place!

Onwards, blue boys.

 

[SheeshKebab]

I don’t think it’s as bad people are making out and I agree with Walker, it’s his time to go now but I do genuinely think we would have scored a third in that last 15 mins if it wasn’t for that god awful referee. Never a second yellow and no other referee is blowing the whistle there. A lot more improved from an injury hit squad. Can not wait for this rebuild though.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

At least we didn't cave in after twice going behind.

Genuinely though the ref was poor.

If we're not losing players to injury, it's to red cards now. We really could do with a bit of fortune regarding all these injuries.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Fighting for top 8, don’t let langleyblue know he might blow his lid.

Can you not ruin two threads with this silliness, nice one, ta.

 

[citytill1die84]

Ahhh.

It's going to be a long season lads and lasses we need to grin and bear it.

Ref was a ****. Never a 2nd yellow, blew for absolutely everything Palace way.

Too many under performing players and injuries absolutely killing us. We'll make top 4 and hopefully win the FA Cup.

 

[oldius]

Doku should start every game.

Not with his injury record, no.

 

[bluetonium]

Frustrating refereeing performance that. Why no check for the Lewis red card, when technically their player fouls Lewis and it should at the very least be a penalty check?

 

[Vic]

Long goal kick in last minute... what was that about?

 

[cookster]

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.

Correct. Forget the league.
