Crystal Palace (H) - Post-Match Thread

A "how to play yourself out of the team in 45 minutes" masterclass by Aymeric Laporte

 

[SidJames]

First the postives,we are still better off than we were this time last season,And we all know how that turned out.

This game to me had "A one of those Days "feel about it right from kick off.And that is exactly how it turned out.

Still I thought our VAR disallowed goal was seriously harsh.

I thought Palace game plan was spot on,Playing with a well marshalled back 8 at times,and frustrate the shit out of us.Then hit on the counter.Viera fully deserved this today.

KDB form has become seriously alarming.

We fight another day Blues.

Now lets hopefully watch the Rags go from crisis,to crisis.

It’s been a bad week… we get a week like this every season. Not a time for us to slate players we know who aren’t putting a shift in and probably they know to. Keep it together lads and lasses we’ll come good .

* might be worth a punt on brereton from Blackburn in January nothing to lose there for me . *

 

[Packrat]

Just squashed my Strongbow cans picturing Zaha's head. Feel much better now.

As bad as City were, ref too, if Foden's kneecap had been onside before Jesus scored we'd have won that today.

 

[bluechippie]

As soon as the transfer window opens we need to get the fuck out there and buy a centre forward.

 

[Wigan_Citizen]

We don't look like scoring, and that is very concerning.

 

[DMA's]

We could have kicked on this summer by signing players to improve the team. Mainly a striker. But we didn't.
And now we are reaping what we sowed.
I think we are heading for a similar season we had in 2019-2020.

playing fern at cb after kompany left springs to mind. The club get most things right but at times they are incredibly naive.

 

[Eccles Blue]

The Boys in Blue didn’t give in they fought to the end. Thank you City. You did what you could against cheating refs and Southern softies!
The referee won that with VAR and CP time wasting goalkeeper’s willing assistance!

 

[Keeper!]

Cancelo, either a 9/10 performance or 3/10, frustrating player, weird attitude when poor.

 

[madloaf]

We deserved nothing and thats what we got. Crystal Palace were in our faces from the start and we didn't have either the skill or character to deal with it. Nobody to dictate the game. Too many ineffective including Kevin and Jack. Stones back in as first choice CB after Laporte's debacle. When he is bad, he is very fucking bad.

Can't blame team selection or manager for that one.

I'm trying hard to forget that once upon a time we had Dzeko, Ballotteli, Tevez and Kun on our books. My god we need a striker.

What are you talking about? Everyone knows that Gundogan scored 13 goals last season so of course we dont need a striker. *ROLLS EYES SO FAR INTO BACK OF HEAD I CAN SEE YESTERDAY*

 

[Luck95]

Awful, simply awful. We absolutely need a striker we don’t look like scoring at all

 

[BurnCK]

mahrez has always influenced games more than grealish throughout his whole career. Just look at their goal records mahrez is a top player grealish is very good but nothing more. Crazy to spend 100 mil on him when we already had foden playing lw

Agreed. We needed a striker not another winger

 

[City10.]

We NEED to break the bank for Haaland in JANUARY!!!

 

[Gumzy97]

Big steaming pile of horse dung. Anyway onto the next one

Put another way.. Hes generally shit. Hes just shit with a cherry on top and sometimes people only see the cherry.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

True but that’s still more then raz or mahrez atm

Maybe Raz but how can Grealish be better than FFS? How many goals and assists has FFS had this season? How many has Grealish had? I get he is English but can at least try to hide the sentiment?

 

[waspish]

Another one of those games where we ain’t on it one individual mistake and as usually they score from! Thought second half we might just sneak a draw out of it but wasn’t to be?! Still early days but chelsea look the team to beat because of there squad there manager who mix it up with park buses long balls or possession football more clinical but we seen this with quite few of Chelsea managers in the past it’s not long lasting but it wins them the league and trophies for those few seasons!

 

[bennyboy]

Home performances a worry.
Not clicked at home for a while.

You know it was a frustrating game when even @Eccles Blue is throwing out insults towards the opposition
