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

[Blumooniac]

Unacceptable. 2 years on the bounce. Fact.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

A microcosm of the entire season that.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

2 yards offside but not seen by lino

2 yards offside and the ball hit him. Still not seen by the lino.

Not even Pep can polish a turd!

He picks the players the club buys, he trains them. He is comfortable with sub standard backroom staff,All on him. Been found wanting this season and Januarys window is looking as bad as the previous few

 

[RayCTID]

We are absolutely shit. Don’t think we get champions league. Tactics are outdated. Possession for just having possession, no threat nothing.

A couple of weeks ago it was a different kettle of fish. We aren't fully at our best but we aren't shit either.

 

[Revolver]

I didn’t think we played that bad today by this seasons standards. Keeper sent off and penalty scored etc etc

But far too many times this season we get to the edge of the oppositions penalty box and we look lost. Today Ankaji constantly playing a safe pass in the second half on the edge of their area was symbolic of this

 

[Gesario]

Because our defence is abysmal and we can't take penalties!

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.

Stockley park fk off Its bent

 

[nu774ll]

Need wingbacks who can cross. Need cm’s who can shoot outside the box or do something other than pass sideways!!!

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

This season can’t end soon enough

 

[Lavinda Past]

All on Pep.

But don't agree he should walk.

The next season is going to be damn intense that's for sure though!

If we don't qualify for the CL, Pep shouldn’t just walk, he should run. He's been clueless for the last 12 months.
Like Foden and Haaland, does anyone actually believe that Pep will rediscover his mojo next season? I certainly don't see it.

 

[i8rags]

Since when did our defence become our playmakers, turning down crosses again and again to pass to to Dias etc, joke and hard to take, var fucking abysmal

 

[Xhavenjoe]

It should have stood

Why should their " second goal" have stood?

 

[SWPISHOME]

Erling has been anything but consistent in his penalty-taking recently.

Well surely he'd want to take the penalty today and prove a point when it comes to his penalties.

Numerous forwards aren't good at penalties but continue to do so, Surely the "best centre forward" in the world can bury one from 12 yards.

 

[jimharri]

Compare this lot to the side of 4/5 years ago. It’s chalk and cheese.

The drop off from even as recent as two years ago is horrifying. Stevie Wonder can see we badly need a drastic rebuild.

 

[Bald fraud]

Rags are gonna have a better season than us!

 

[mackenzie]

Honestly don't think our players show a lack of effort. The decline is down to a perfect shit show of aging, injuries and transition.
Pep has a load of credit in the bank, obviously, but I'm not sure him signing an extension is what we need.

[meltonblue]

I was told quite stridently by many people when Dias won the ball and gave away a penalty v Villa just a few weeks ago that it didn't actually matter that he touched the ball.

Now apparently it does.

Whatever we tell ourselves, the rule is just "whatever the referee wants to happen". That's not suggesting they're corrupt or anything, they're just making whatever decision will give them the easiest life in a given situation.

It’s not just about whether he touches it, it’s the impact on the ball and the angle of the challenge too.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Poor Nedum on ESPN, tears behind the smiles

 

[Bluemoonadam]

Pep complaining at Henderson for wasting time is funny haha, ah well ill get over it i knew we'd lose tbh that's why I've just won 500 on Palace winning. Softened the blow slightly.
