Crystal Palace (H) | Post Match Thread

From the standpoint of conceding 3 more the week before. To be clear I'm not saying anyone is setting up shop and living in our end. I'm saying when someone manages to get there regardless of how rare and whether its on a counter, off a set piece, whatever, we seem vulnerable. It needs to be cleaned up.
Absolutely and it will be. The press has changed with Haaland. We’re learning on the job.

Set pieces is a strange one. We were awesome at them at both ends last season and we just about managed to keep our set piece coach. Hopefully he’s been on holiday and is back in next week.
 
Aside from him releasing the ball because he was leaving his area, what do you think Ederson could have done more on?

The triple deflection on the own goal or the power header in the corner from an unmarked centre back?

Sorry but he was shite today. Fumbled an easy ball that led to the first goal, didn't command his area and got lucky on the disallowed goal he rolled straight out at a Palace player. It didn't help that the defenders in front of him were playing like Pep had just pulled them from Mary D's and asked if they fancied a game today.

He made a handling error prior to the free kick that led to the own goal. Guilty.

He didn’t get lucky with the rolling out of the ball though. It’s not allowed to do what the Palace player did.

KDB made loads of shite passes today. Ederson seems to be taking more flak though.

He was poor as were others. I haven't read all the posts but I don't think he's taking the most flack, but he had a bad game. It's a fine line, was the ball still under his control or had he released it? Irrelevant now as it was disallowed anyway. MOTD asked if Haaland was lucky not to be sent off for the high boot that caught the Palace defender. I thought it was more the defender stopped his head towards his foot and the ball, but maybe some refs would have preferred nudged it more harshly. It's not his fault he has such long legs lol.

Ederson made one mistake. Generally that leads directly to a goal. Today, it was indirect. We still should have defended the free kick.

The high foot will always provoke debate. Should you be able to dip your head to 5 foot and be free from the danger of having six studs imprinted in your face?

All it did was allow the debate to happen. I’m not sure anyone important has argued it was a red card.
 
Brilliant match, defensive liabilities (Stones and walker) but i forgave stones for his pass to the haaland goal. We need to fix defensive problem. Happy for the 3 points
 
No way that was a pass haha
Ha, watch how he plays the ball mate, it was a pass, like I said, the only issue was Stone’s intent, only he knows the true answer, if he says he intended it then I’d like to see anyone prove otherwise, if he says he tried to pass the ball into the net then fair do’s, it’s all on JS’s intent.
 
Great game of football between two teams who played really well on the day with one team manged by Pep who wanted to splay football and the other team managed by a knobhead who had his team time wasting, diving, and feigning inuury at every opportunity yet we came through and won the game.

Fuck your shit Vieira you dickhead. Football won today!


Haaland was fantastic but Bernardo and Johnny Boulders were absolutely superb!

Great game, great day; I loved it!
