Crystal Palace (A) | Post Match Thread

[Keeper!]

Of course it is. We've done it before during title run homes and I'm confident we will do it again.

I'll back our players and Pep in over the run home.

If Liverpool jump us then my confidence may waver, but it's still in our hands and that gives me the confidence we'll see it through.

I'll add it's not the Liverpool game that worries me most on our run home, it's the West Ham & Wolves away that worry me more. We've tended this season to take points of the big clubs, it's been Spurs, Palace & Southampton twice outside of the Anfield game we should've won where we've dropped costly points.

We have lost momentum and focus , that's my worry, we seem to be far better when under pressure and playing 3 big games a week, we have had a lot of stop/start periods since Christmas and we have not looked anywhere near as focused and intense as the end of last year.

Bunch of whining cunts, that had potential disaster written all over it, we didn’t lose and it’s a long wat from over

 

[Harvster]

Might turn out to be a very useful point. If Liverpool win all their games then fair play to them, they deserve to win the league

 

[Bluesiam]

Shit happens. You can't win every game. Laporte had 2 blinding chances. We hit the post twice. Bernardo's rebound off the keeper. If we'd put one of those chances away not many would have been complaining about this performance.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Nothing wrong with the intensity or mentality, looked to be one of those games as the chances came and went.

Said at the weekend it was a tough game and same will be said for Leeds, West Ham, Burnley and Wolves.

We are currently paying the price because of a shit first half at Southampton and a very late goal against Spurs, as we lost our margin for error.

It could yet be a very big point and still affords us the cushion of a draw at home to Liverpool, if we are to be perfect elsewhere.

My only gripe is the correlation between our dropped points this season coming against the same teams.

To lose 15 points to just Spurs, Palace and Southampton takes some swallowing.

I expect Liverpool to win at Arsenal but our team has been down this road before.

Not good tbh. Neck and neck again like 3 seasons ago but the big difference is that we haven’t got that same mentality as with konoany silva kun and ferdy . Not buying a striker will be our undoing I’m afraid as we can’t break teans down who sit back . Wouldn’t bet against Liverpool doing the sweep atm .

Was just one of those games. We created plenty of chances, but just couldn’t score.

that’s a bit defeatist. Plenty of games left

when you say they’ve not got the same mentality? Most of the team has won the league before. So surely they do

 

[Gingers Dad]

The game was alright, quite exciting really, but the commentary and the Palace fans monotonous dirge drove me nuts.
What did we do to offend Andy Hinchcliffe?
Palace and Leicester fans are the fckin worst. Drums and clappers should be banned from all football grounds.

Its not though is it. They had games in hand which they won, we have only ever been 6 points ahead.

8 but agreed
