Crystal Palace (H) Post Match Thread

[Dirty Harry]

Wasn’t Chelsea away a lession

Not really, difficult place to go and win, today, too many players turned up thinking the game was already won imo.

 

[Dhruv1]

What the hell. Unfortunately Walker badly at fault for two goals. Pretty good fight at the end, but you have to say we were very disappointing today. Still fully confident we can retain the title.

 

[Nebuchadnezzar]

Palace played well

 

[hilts]

Fern kdb merlin can get by without one but when all 3 don’t start we ain’t the same

 

[wattle]

Ahhhhh the Christmas period. A time for resting poor little players and fucking up the league

 

[christened at st marks]

We need fullbacks and a plan b

 

[abu13]

We appear to have lost our directness, for too much passing around the edge of the box for me.

 

[cptaidan88]

Not to be today.

We didn't have an answer. Felt like Guardiola's first season with no plan B.

Walkers head has gone since Rio criticised him.

We will work on it and go again. Couple of suddenly tough games coming up.

 

[kaz7]

2 losses already in mid-season. The whole last year we lost 2 games.

So?

 

[vmsuhail]

Bad day at the office. Not worried, we'll still win the league.

Jan 3rd is the day. Win it and we are still back in it. But, we have a small matter of seeing off Southampton under Hasenhuttl before that.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

A tough watch with neither Jesus or Aguero having a clear chance on goal. Walker looks scared and it leads to him making mistakes. Time to try Delph as DM. Come back soon Merlin.

Jesus missed an absolute sitter.

 

[colorado blue]

Finally caught up with us, we've been playing poorly and getting the points so it's one of those things really. Happens, especially when messing with formations and resting players, get the game won first!

Liverpool game is now huge for us as they will come and play on the break knowing we need to win it.

I thought today was our first poor game. Don’t recall any lucky results

 

[Nascent Blues]

The most disappointing aspect for me was was the utter lack of creative penetration from the middle, especially in the first half. It just highlights how much and Fern and Silva are the oil to this machine.

 

[oakiecokie]

How come when I put some fanny on ignore I can still see the twats name when he "likes" another fanny?

We`re all fannies today mate. ;)

 

[argyle]

Again as many said (and were shouted down in the summer) not getting a DM to help Fern was a huge mistake.

 

[Zenmanc]

Bright side...

There are 60 points left to chase.

 

[moomba]

Such a frustrating performance.

Didn't create nearly enough, didn't move the ball quickly enough, didn't work nearly hard enough.

But there will always be games like that over the course of a season. We had them last year, we'll almost certainly have them again this year. Just got to hope you get a result no matter how much you deserve it.

Sucks that we didn't get an undeserved result today.

 

[abu13]

We need fullbacks and a plan b

We need fullbacks who can stay fit.

 

[citytill1die84]

We desperately need a LB & a DM.

 

[the talisman]

I bet Palace couldn’t believe their luck, they were waiting for a City onslaught that never came.
Walker needs a rest and sorry but Stones is no midfielder.
Come back soon Spanish Dave.....
