Crystal Palace (H) Post Match Thread

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

I’d like us to try and get that Wan Bissaka in the ranks.

Been watching him for a while, he’s a major talent, we should be balls deep for him in the summer

 

[Groke]

No it wouldn’t Stones in DM failed Tuesday against an under strength Leicester what made anyone think it would work today?

Agree with you, just saying 9 times out of 10 we would have won that.

Very quick and aggressive. Gets forward well too. Surely he’d want to come if we showed interest as well. Walker needs competition and not sure Danilo is it.

It wasn't Walker who cost us the game though was it. We took a gamble without KDB, Silva, Fernandinho and Aguero and thought we could win it with Gundog and Stones, but Palace hit a screamer and suddenly a routine game was turned on its head.

Mahrez is much more culpable than Walker. We took Sterling off who was really trying for us, and put on Mahrez who did literally nothing. He needs to start producing and stop coasting or he'll lose his place.

U wot?
Walker had a poor game overall and was directly responsible for the crucial third goal when he gave away a needless pen. He should not have been selected for this game. This is not hindsight , many on the forum were saying this beforehand.
As for the Stones selection in midfield , that was a tactical error by Pep irrespective of who else was or wasn't playing.
And yeah Pep took a gamble without those players you mention.
So all in all very poor team selection by the Manager, cost us the game.

Plus stop messing with Walkers role!

Danilo.

I agree but assume he’s not yet match fit. Would like to see him get a run in place of Walker as soon as he is fit.

This time of year against lower teams there is always a danger of complacency. We start with well worked goal and it seems a normal home win on the way.everyone eases off slightly they squeeze one in from an impossible angle bit of panic defending gundogan completely misses a header out, silva smallest man on the field heads out and then the wonder goal, suddenly they have tails up and it's all about momentum. Hard to get it back. Walker and Bernado have played too much, hoped playing a Lower team might get foden a game , danilo and Mandy always injured plus David , Kev and kin out has put lot of pressure on.its still all about running off the ball, tracking back and pressing, if that goes and we play slow build up we are not the same side. They have played some brilliant stuff this season, we can allow them an off day I think. No problem with focus for Liverpool game now, just need to go into it with two wins to keep up our confidence.hopefully can field full strength team against them.

Are we just getting unlucky or is something wrong?

Battered CFC for 45 minutes, they score with their first shot. 2nd half we have about 13 corners, they get their first and score from it.

Today CPFC were barely in the game and suddenly from 1-0 down they were 2-1 up and no one could possibly have seen it coming.

And yet in each game we had ample time to come back and we couldn't do it.

This is part luck, and it feeds into whether you win titles or not. But we also have some problems. I think our strikers: jesus and Aguero aren't so hot, Mahrez is coasting, and we have injury problems. We would have won both those games if KDB had been fit. Narrow gap between success and failure. Of course as yet we don't know what the outcome will be.

He should have been subbed at half time. He was terrible. He got worse too in the 2nd half which I didn't think was possible.

Very much around in the 90’s mate. But then win, lose or draw didn’t bother me because I expected to get beat! Now every game matters!!

Mattered to me then just as much as it does today
