Crystal Palace (A) | Post Match Thread

Excellent win. Palace were pathetic. Thought we played well generally, against a team that didn't wanted to play.

palace are a horrible team to play
and their back 10 tactic failed thankfully
as much as asrenals win last week was a sign of champions, this was just as much as one
all to play for

One thing that never looks like improving is our corners, I honestly don't understand how difficult it can be to cross a ball in with nobody around you at a decent height and try and find one of your own players
Ours either hit the first defender or are hit that high they clear everyone. Yesterday's were as bad as I've ever seen

 

[MrCheeseGrater]

The problem with him for me is his performances are very mixed. Does some things very well and very bad in the same game. Like when he was asleep for the free kick when he let Zaha run off him.

He's a 5th choice quality player getting the minutes of a 2nd/3rd choice (Laporte's minutes)

Had haaland and grealish, and alverez score we would have been 3 or 4 nil up. I think it worked tbh.

Agreed thinking about it, Erling should of had a hatrick, and that would of been a great goal had Jack smashed it in

Now that I am not a mod I am free to say:

This is the winner for the most idiotic post of the match award.

There’s more and more clueless posters each time I log on in all threads…. Maybe you can come back and get the banhammer out …..

 

[heslops barnet]

Think we should give up taking corners and throw ins, we’re absolutely shite at both…..

 

[crystal_mais]

Take the win but we need to take those chances, not being too critical but Haaland should of had 2. In tight games, we need to put away the clear chances or another Forest type situation comes up

Indeed we are. I get irritated when players let a ball go out for a throw in as we invariably lose possession from it. In fairness it is not just our team that does this, lots of others do the same, I do find it odd though.

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

Elaborate?

The new trend of "surfing" down the stand (essentially diving off your seat onto the blues below) is dangerous, bordering on fucking stupid.

I can take care of myself but the 79 year old.bloke next to me was visibly distressed after some idiot had landed on him immediately following City's goal.

There's a very thin line between creating an atmosphere and ruining other peoples enjoyment
