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

Haaland is bullied too often now and hides behind defenders. He stopped making those runs across the box he did in his first 12 months. Their front 3 of Sarr, Eze and Mateta were much better than our front 3. Haaland should watch how Mateta put himself about today.
I would swap their 2 wingers with our unthreatening, non scoring ones in a heartbeat
 
heads up guys, not the end of the world,we'l be back next season, Var needs scrapping,first half Henderson saved them who should not have been on the pitch

I hate VAR but not sure how that makes sense, if VAR is scrapped, he’s still on the pitch!

It needs a different setup in stockley park to how it’s currently being run.
 
The only thing I’m going to blame Haaland for is not taking the penalty. That’s a cowards move.

As for his poor performances, he’s got fuck all to work with. Every ounce of creativity has been removed from this side. Just look at Foden when he came on, not only did he make more passes backwards than forwards, he was left with nothing but hitting hopeful crosses to the box. This is one of the most gifted players in English history we’re talking about.

I just don’t understand how a side with such attacking talent can be so poor.
2 proper fullbacks would help…
 
Well done Palace !!!

Really pleased for you.

Not going to comment on Pep and City other than to say many of the players are not good enough at this level….they’ve been enjoying 7 days off since Feb!

Change the Dr or the medicine….change something City !

Disappointed but not surprised. Didn’t like BBC showing a young lad in the City end in tears not needed .
It’s unpleasant and you feel for the lad, but come on, we all guffawed at that fat dipper kid in tears when we came back to 3-2 against Villa in the last game a few seasons back so we can’t say a great deal.

Disappointment and frustration is all part of the mandatory upbringing of any Blue!

Difference is different set up. Their wingers would still struggle in ours and there would be calls in bringing more of them.
 
I commented a few weeks ago that one of the weaknesses In Marmy's game was his lack of ability in one on one situations. So if he was the designated penalty taker whose bright idea was that
 
What type of mentality must he have to give up a fucking penalty kick in a cup final?
A free shot at goal.
That decision of his blew my mind!
Could you imagine Mbappe passing that opportunity up?
No me neither!
Mind blowing, if his confidence is that low, why is he playing?
 
Well yeah, there's no point making selfless forward runs if you don't at least have a cross to back it up. No-one's going with Akanji and he showed the one time he did it today why. His cross ended up in row Z.
Walker did it all the time. It's a decoy to try give a foden some space to drive. Obviously in a perfect world that right back can also cross.
