Anither bobbins performance, a point saved by Dias.

To be honest, it was exactly what I expected after Wednesday. It was never going to last.

Too many passengers. Down to Pep and Txiki this one. Top four would be a great achievement with this squad.

Roll on the January window...

top 4 is a must for me ,if we want to add world class players in the summer.

Credit to the travelling Blues who made the long journey on poor weather. Thank you for your support.

We fought back twice and might have won if the ref had got a decision the right way round. We are still crying out for a solid right back, a defensive midfielder and a second striker .

Fixation will be on the ref but it shouldn't be, the reality is we were shit again. That's a Palace side that's seriously struggling right now and we made them look like European contenders at times. Other wannabe champions win that kind of game by 4 or 5 at a canter. That's how far off we are.

I said after Forest the glaring problems hadn't gone, Kdb and doku just masked them temporarily and today we are back to being wide open with everybody running forwards but nobody running backwards.

Our press is absolutely shite, We hardly ever get even close to getting the ball and we get played around without much effort needed from the opposition the majority of the time. It's now like watching a sunday league side try and press because they've seen us do it and want to replicate it without having any understanding of how to actually do it. Nobody ever tracks a man either, they always pass it on without even checking and simply chase the ball. We must be the easiest side in the top 4 divisions to play around, the most basic of give and go's and you're in.

Stop it, we were missing Ake and Akanji, still pulled out an away draw. You're really suffering Bin Dipper and Manure syndrome.

 

[chaddblue]

Looking at the bigger picture, I suppose a draw isn't too bad when you consider the appalling starting line up that Pep picked and his reluctance to change it until it was too late

 

[roubaixtuesday]

Can’t appeal 2 yellows.

Ah, though that was VAR rule, not appeal rule. As you were.

 

[chris85mcfc]

The worse part is that Lewis red card means Walker plays next week.

Also means Lewis doesn't, so every cloud.

 

[hilts]

I win followed by a draw. The rot is stopping.

We go and smash those rag cunts next weekend.

CTID

I'm giving it a like just for the belly laugh you have just given me. Pmsl.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Will be appealed Shirley

The FA in their infinite ignorance don't allow appeals on a yellow. Whether they look at two yellows making a red I don't know!

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Thought he was terrible from the 1st minute and decided not to see anything on the pitch apart from what would hurt us.

Yes but apart from that ?

 

[Gazza]

I think a lot of players are carrying knocks and as the schedule is so busy nobody has a chance to completely recuperate, so the injuries are getting steadily worse.
