Crystal Palace (H) - Post Match

[manimanc]

Gutted but we shouldn't forget the greatness of the last 2 seasons.

At last a sensible post amongst a sea of shit.
The anti stonesy wankers are in full flow, at least it's shushed the anti gundog wankers.

And there are a new breed of anti pep wankers eeking their shite words about him.

nah, just get Roy in as defensive coach

woy only seems to be able to do this to pep but im sure theres a spot for him in the academy set up teaching defending ;)

Not enough zip to our passing all game, just passing it around looking for the pass to appear that'd get us behind them and open them up, which never really came.

Mendy attacked well, thought he had a good game.
Bit unlucky with the "bounce of the ball" in the box not falling our way a few times.
But you can't give a goal away in the last minute like we did, you just can't.

It's a funny old game sometimes, but I'm not laughing.

That's very true. And why it's so frustrating that a manager as good as Pep can't just be a tad more pragmatic. We don't need to score 150 goals a year. But we do need to tighten up at the back if we want to win the CL.

Pretty poor for all that possession.
Sterling was dreadful, shouldn’t be starting games at the minute, needs to earn his starting spot back in my opinion.
The defence still awful.
Play Garcia and Fernandinho till Laporte is back playing. Then we’ll see.
Pisser of an afternoon.

 

[Vicmeldrew666]

Sorry but the whole team selection seems based on favourites, not in form players, or the opposition. This is down to the manager.
Gundogan is not at present a starting player. Fernandinho is not a central defender. If I was Phil Foden, I would now be requesting at least a loan, if not a transfer, as the current minutes on the pitch are simply inadequate.
If Pep can't see this I am sorry but HE needs to move on.
Play Garcia in CD and Fern as the DM. Am I missing something, or is it too obvious to ask players to play in their recognised positions.
I am beginning to think Gundogan has pics of Pep shagging his (Gundogans) mum!

 

[OntarioBlue]

We ask why teams park the bus?

Because one attack = goal.

Two attacks = 2 goals.

We’re so exposed this year. Fabulous football one week, suckers the next.

That is the sad truth and I’ve been saying it all year. It’s actually worse when we play without a defensive midfielder, like today, as we expose our back four way more than we should.

It simply isn’t good enough at this level.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Predictable, we are so fucking spineless at times it's a joke. Every meaningful attack and they score. What has happened to our fast starts and early goals? Our first half home performances have been so worrying this season. That midfield doesn't work and we keep seeing it.

Great service publishing these pearls, Karen, but I’d rather listen to the talking clock.

Ha fair enough,i hope he is battering them behind the scenes

I know where you're coming from. They were an unbelievable 22 months, which we were privileged to enjoy. But, being harsh about it, we need to file them away. They're gone now. We need to move on, and keep progressing. Which we're clearly not doing.

 

[scousemanc]

Just got home. Really, really, really pissed off with that. Poor Sergio doing all that and then realising he's playing in a team that can't defend. Also, why change a winning team?
