Crystal Palace (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

Not sure why we waited until the last 10 minutes to bring Doku on either. And that’s me switching off from here for the day. For my own sanity.

Wishing all who travelled a safe journey home.

Goodnight!

If reports are true we have told a number of players they won’t be here next season. There is no way we are going to get a tune out of those players this season as we have seen. I think it could be a significant number out of the door. Therefore, it’s all about getting through this season best we can, and hopefully top four. I think it would be much better focusing on the top four than CL at this stage, as can’t see us wining it. Top four would be advantageous in attracting new players. It’s going to be a long old season, but think we will rebuild successfully in the summer, and be ready to challenge again next season.

Those reports sound like bullshit to me.

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 shed the win 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 .

Plus a left back and at least one attacking midfielder.

The current squad is done.

Do you expect to win the league every season? I thought we did really well to win it last year. These things are cyclical. Our purchases in recent years haven’t really worked out.
These aren’t excuses. It’s just life - we go again next game , next transfer window, next season. Maybe we will be lucky and have another phenomenal 10 to 15 years. Or maybe we won’t.

No I don’t but the club does.

They have let the squad fall into disarray. Buying shit after shit. Players flogged to death and can’t do it anymore. Sam with the boss.

I'm really confused about how poor Pep's decisions have to be for people to begin apportioning him his fair share of the blame for this season's performances and results. No-one is saying he isn't a legend of world football but now is now.

What's he supposed to do when we have half a dozen players out injured and we play every 3 days?

Create footballers out of thin air?

First half looked like the first game of pre-season, i cant believe that injuries are the sole cause. Most of these players have been fit for months at this point but cannot run.

It’s really bizarre mate.

Haaland is remarkably unfit. Does a jogged quarter press and needs 10 minutes on the fucking defibrillator.

We should give Nunez a shot in the Gundo role. Can’t do any worse.

Will probably lose the ball just as much, but at least he has legs to sprint and get it back.

Not able to impose himself physically for that position. And God knows I've defended the man. But no, not there. You might say, well, Gundo, neither. And I'd agree with you.
Nunes can be much more useful out on the wing on in attacking midfield.

It's a long shot, but you know, something I've been thinking about for some time — Kev playing further back, in defensive midfield. He's such a superb reader of the game, it might be worth a punt. Over time, he's got to start playing deeper, anyway. The lung-busting attacking midfielder games over ninety minutes, those are finished. Pep's very good at reinventing players. This might be his latest.

I would like to see the KDB foul that Rico got a yellow for. Looked like he won the ball to me and if so why shouldn’t Rico call the ref out. Don’t mind that. Watched the lung again and still don’t think he made contact. Even Neville is backtracking on his verdict now

Have you been into football for long? When you are on a yellow , for fuckin decent for fucks sake, you dont want the referee making that decision

All the happy clappers are quick to say “get off lewis’ back” , but getting that second yellow sums him up.

He did deserve to go. It was beyond stupid.

He needs to shut the fuck up, he isn’t a captain and his first yellow was for whining.

He clearly loves the club but as of today he’s nowhere near this level.

Walker is done. Just retire. At the very least be man enough to refuse the captaincy and focus on how bad you are yourself.

Full backs are killing us this season.

Heads are gone, look at the two minutes leading up to their second. Out of nowhere we couldn’t string two passes together. We can’t carry all of those players while they are underperforming. Josko played well but always has one mistake in him and savinho and Nunes largely invisible.

We’re almost at a point of chucking this season and using it to prep for other stuff.

Why did he deserve to go.. seriously
The player fouled him not the other way round..

Yes we as fans get that. Stick behind the team, players have been absolutely brilliant.

My issue is with the club. They have completely taken their eye off the ball. No guarantees that we will recruit well in the future going off our recent past. For every Dias we have a savio.

For every Rico we have a Palmer.

Lot of mistakes currently being made. They wanted a world class club on a shoe string due to pep. We should all be pissed mate.

The board are not above reproach because we have won trophies. They set the high limit and have failed now for a few seasons.

The players and pep who are now both dead on their feet deserved more.

It seems obvious to me that the club have kept there powder dry for Txikis replacement, only then can we judge the club , he’s arguably been as important to the club as Pep , great clubs rebuild and go again , Ferguson had lean spells and rebuilt , and that pisspot never did 4 in a row - we will find out now how big the club, and fans balls are moving forward, right now there are far too many slapped arses on here.

having a small squad has seen us do ok for nine years , nobody could have forseen the amount of injures we have at once and players carrying knock not doing great

it is what it is , all those wetting the bed expected us to win five in a row , it was never going to be possible , as for the glory hunters crying , do me a fucking favour

this team can't win 2 in row never mind 5. We used to notch up 12 in a row for fun. Complacency in the transfer market and selling the best young talent we have produced in donkeys to Chelsea hasn't helped.

Exactly. Too many “nunes was ok”. Hes fuckin shite.
Not good enough.
Hes not alone.

The decline in our squad is appalling
Click to expand...
Nunes isn't fucking shite, but he's nowhere near good enough for a top four team.
Neither is Gundo on current form.
And I'm not convinced by Doku or Savinho but we aren't allowed to say that as they are youngsters.
Good point as we were behind twice, but Palace are 16th for a reason - They aren't very good.
