I know it's important to the money men but the day i recognise a top 4 position as an achievement will be the day i walk away from the game.

lol

This might be the season Pep falls out of love with having a small squad.

Enjoy victimhood.

Thanks misery guts.

I love your upbeat attitude, but, with the players we had out today we should be beating Palace convincingly. Too many players who are renound for passing accuracy and skill looked like Sunday league players at times.

Nah, even with all players available we are not guaranteed to win at Palace. Remember 21/22 season, the game was 0:0, and all stars, including Rodri, played then.

Some of the recent mistakes are due to several players being overplayed, and some other players being oldish.

Is Issa Kabore that much worse than Walker, genuinely asking

Based on Issa Kabore for Luton last year, he is way better than Walker.

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.

We dont,our last 11 League games at Palace won 7 drew 4 lost 0.

 

[Blue tiger]

his age is irrelevant

the fact that he is needed to play so many different positions is just a further inditement of the club....and he is a master at none of those positions. .....players are fit he doesnt get close to th team therefore he aint good enough.

His age isn't irrelevant though. All young players have a dip. You're right, the fact he is here there and everywhere is on the club, but it shouldn't be a stick to beat the kid with. I agree he wouldn't be in my starting 11 if all are fit, but I think he's a more than capable squad player as he has proven in the previous two seasons.

If we'd had all our Players available today we would beat Palace

If you play every minute when you’re not expected to then it happen

Lost some pace as well, which won't return. Can still do a job for us this season at times, by and large past it though.

I’m with the OP about getting top 4.
It isn’t an achievement but we’re not good enough to win anything.
The team needs a huge overhaul and players want to play in the CL.

Top 4 is possible for us, winning the league or any silverware doesn’t seem possible.

In my head I compared this to that foul in the box against Arsenal which at the time I thought was a Penalty (Partey I think) when we beat them 4-1 and it was explained as Partey had took ownership of the space by planting his foot, hence it wasn’t a penalty, hasn’t Rico done the same by getting his foot there first? No doubt Dermot will say he’s left the ground

 

[wattle]

lol

Unbelievable innit

Agree he was bought to make impact from the bench not to manage an entire season. It is what it is

Actually a foul on Rico, but eh …

 

[CTID1090]

Bobb was the plan.

Bobb was the plan? As a striker ?

 

[Gingers Dad]

That 11 we had out today was full of internationals, there's nobody on earth that can read the two team lineups and say it's even close to being equal. The setup is the problem, that'd why we didn't win and that's why we continue to drop points against vastly inferior sides.

I think energy levels and fitness were the problem. Midfield was overrun by stronger, younger players. There were none of the senior players on the bench fit enough to come on with any significant time left to alleviate the problems.

 

[Blu3m00n91]

I just want to see players stay fit for consecutive games.

 

[Barcon]

You didn’t bother with a City game because you didn’t like the line-up?

Wait, you didn’t watch a City game, as a City fan?

Good night.

I think I see where you might have gone wrong there mate.

The ref wasn't going to book Rico until someone had a word in his ear.
