Crystal Palace (N) | FA Cup Final | Post Match Thread

[BlueMonkey79]

Shocking.

That incident alone didn't cost us the game

We were insipid today.
Absolute wank performance. Just like last season.

Looking like Wembley becoming a bogey ground for us

 

[Grealish’s Shinpads]

We have scored 1 goal in 3 games and have played over 230 minutes of football without scoring. Against Wolves, second worst team in PL history Southampton and Crystal fucking Palace…

 

[chesterbells]

What was the excuse for missing this or will Webb apologise on Monday?

Apologies are cheap.

 

[Victorinodennistua]

I actually think city played well. Just wish we played with this kind of aggressive football the whole season.

First half yes 2nd half not so good.They had taken their best players off with about 15 mins left.We need a big rebuild watching this.

 

[vmsuhail]

VAR manufacurated the result the neutrals and red cartel wanted

It wasn't VAR that missed the penalty, it wasn't VAR that kept KDB playing the full 90 when he clearly couldn't, it wasn't VAR that started the game without a DM, it wasn't VAR that made Foden/Haaland/Marmoush useless on the pitch, the list of problems we had in a final were endless. No way City deserved anything from that showing.

What a season.
Well done Palace
Well done incompetent VAR for not sending off Henderson.
Pep has possibly lost it, brings back Haaland last 2 games and we play dogshit in both games
Marmoush is turning out to be a waste of space, 2 good games since he joined?
Did anyone play well?

Questioned the signing of Marmoush at the time...seems a bit pointless as he cant play the support striker...its either wide or main striker..thats it

 

[Lavinda Past]

Foden... Definitely yesterday's man. He's nowhere near the player he was. Another terrible substitution by Pep.

 

[RayCTID]

You are partly right we didn’t help ourselves..

If their keeper weren't on field it more than likely have been a different result.

 

[pride in battle]

Shite but not lacking in effort. Not annoyed at the players, we need a massive overhaul

Palace defended brilliantly

Should've been a red

Pep made the most baffling decision I've seen him make bringing Echeverri on

He played better than Phil

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Horrible

 

[leighton]

We have been bad in the last 2 games can't seem to score. Not sure why Haaland didn't take the penalty it's a shitty day but for Palace great for them. It's rare to have new winners in the cups this season and it's good to see. Pep needs to get them going on Tuesday as we could miss out on 5th place too if we don't score goals and go for the kill.

 

[doobyedoobye]

Well not the most surprising performance tbf

 

[simon23]

Absolutely shafted by VAR. That **** having the game of his life and shouldn't even have been on the pitch.

Fuck the lot of them. Fuck football. What a load of fucking shit

See you all on Tuesday.

We deserved to lose

 

[jamesha]

Criminal officiating.

Bit of play acting from Palace but cannot really resent it as we did not do enough to win.

Not confident that we can win our remaining two games and this daft Club World Cup can get in the bin.

 

[Blue2202]

Bollocks -

not on Pep - the players just dont have it anymore

Well the players clearly are not playing for him. Yet another baffling final line up picked for one purpose... to inflate the ego of pep IF we had won. Disgraceful, shamboloic, turgid, boring, utter nonsense football.

 

[Tomblue]

That kind of football from palace should not be encouraged, how anyone can say they were a credit is beyond me.

 

[Skellhell]

Gutted.

Congratulations to Crystal Palace, their 1st ever major trophy, can't begrudge them that.

I actually don't think we were that bad, probably the better side but horrendous finishing cost us again. A better side from previous years probably would have created more chances though.

Now for the big one, VAR. It won't help but PGMOL owe the club a massive apology. As far as I'm concerned VAR should no longer exist after that game. It should have been 70mins against 10 men.
The decision to not send Henderson off has cost us a trophy today.

It's the worst decision in the history of VAR and Jared Gillett should be sacked.

Totally agree how the hell could he still be hon the pitch??? Would be interesting to hear the explanation of the decision

 

[bellsouth]

Nothing wrong with the 1st half, just what happens, but that second half to leave the changes so late, criminal, leaving De Bruyne on, terrible decision, bad management of that second half

 

[Sibierskii]

Distract yourself with that if you want....but if you do you miss the bigger picture that this team aint very good anymore....HUGE rebuild needed

Mate

The **** punched the ball away outside of his box

Saved a pen

Then plucked one out of the top corner hahaha!

FA got the fairytale

 

[pee dubya]

Yeah well done to Palace, they've created an exciting team (even if in this game they did what they had to do and just hit on the break). It's good to see new clubs and fans get a bit of success.

We were rubbish, marginally less rubbish than at other times this season, but still rubbish. Not going to blame any individuals for it, the whole collective just hasn't been working. Can't wait for the season to be over.
