Crystal Palace PL (H) Post match thread

[Johnny Mars Bar]

When pep eventually goes the new manager will want a left back and a right back

We’ve still not replaced Kolarov, when you think about it.

Ok, let me just give my personal 2 cents

1. Drop Walker.
2. Drop Gvardiol.
3. Drop Lewis
4. Drop Alvarez

RB Akanji
LB Ake
RCB/DM Stones
LCB Dias

DM: Rodri
CM Bernardo
LM: Grealish ( playing bit the way he played today, tucked in.)
RM: Bobb

False 9: Foden ( He fucked up today though but still preferable to Alvarez)


That's how I'm playing until Haaland returns. And when Haaland returns I might just stay with Bobb if he is performing and let Phil come off the bench with Alvarez.

He has to shake things up. The team is making the same errors weekly.

Id go slightly differently at the back/mid

RB. Stones moving into the hybrid DM role
LB. Ake
CB. Dias
CB. Gvardiol

DM. Rodri
DM. Kovacic

Our record when Rodri and Kovacic play together is very good. During the last 6 games we have won once (the only game Kovacic started). We need to go back to these 2 in the middle as we are wide open and easy to break on when they dont play together, Eg, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spuds, Villa, Palace…

Did he not want to leave..? I remember his agent being pictured at Barca mid-season more or less.

His wife forced the move. If Gundo wanted to sign he knew where Txikis fucking office is.

Currently our only option is blind faith

This was always going to be a transitional season but many posters (myself included) were ridiculed for making the same point in August

Yes, we're missing Gundogan and Mahrez, but the alternative was an ageing squad, and that's without Walker losing his influential pace,.which is already happening

However it doesn't make the season a disaster

I completely agree. I don't think any number of years was keeping him here.

 

[Roachy]

We were playing a bottom third team with key players missing from their side. We stopped playing at 2-0 ,and at 2-1 started playing for time. As Champions that is plain embarrassing.

Agree, zero reaction after their 1st goal. The team thought it was job done when it clearly wasn't.

 

[levets]

Said it a million times and I’m saying it again.

Letting Gundogan go is up there with the most idiotic acts of self sabotage transfer policy in the history of the club.

And there’s been some fucking mental examples over the years.

Shipping Laporte out was another howler.

Said it before just have a sense we will end up at Wembley, and not in the FA Cup.

Dias has been absolutely shite this season. He would be on the bench for me.
