Crystal Palace PL (H) Post match thread

[Beanhead]

Too many players off form at present.
Key injuries,midfield signings not settled in properly,or not good enough.

We haven't faced a good champions league side yet this season.
Keep defending like this whilst squandering chances,we will struggle in that as well.

We won’t keep defending like this though.. we have admittedly been poor but have had some very rough decisions against us which has accentuated manor of the results.. neither will last imo.

I thought he was our MOM.

I tend to not bother selecting my favourite turd out of the shits I have had.

Can't expect to be 6 behind at Christmas and always make up the difference.

Dropped points from winning positions in the final few minutes of the game is a terrible, terrible habit to pick up. We can't kill off our game, it's a real problem.

Walker has been a great servant for us, but I think there was a reason why, for the most part, he didn't play in our first eleven in big games.

Not sure why Grealish is catching strays or Ederson for not saving penalties, mind.

One shining light is the other teams at the top aren’t that good either imo.

They won’t have to be

2 points lost. Starting to wonder if Pep has the hunger after our fantastic last season? Also, wouldn't mind Eddie saving a penalty every now & then. Or even once?!

Would be nice if he could actually get near one, never even gets a hand anywhere near one

 

[Nellies left peg]

Walker as captain is not working.

Pep needs to change this ASAP

An armband doesn’t make the slightest difference. Football captains are irrelevant. We still lack leaders who can demand effort and concentration a la Vinnie. Thought Dias would be a leader but is not in the slightest. There should be more than one person on the pitch to see what is happening and sort it out

 

[come-on-barney]

£80 million defender playing at left back an absolute joke. We didn’t pass to the left as we know we don’t have an outlet. Tactically shocking!

 

[Ric]

Hugely frustrating to drop points like that.

 

[bluethai]

I prefer not to speak (much) on Foden, ill get called a 'rag' but there was an opportunity for him to hold the ball up in the 93rd min and he just runs aimlessly into a defender and gives the ball back to palace and that sums him up for me, weak on the ball, hides between the lines and easily dispossessed.

...and on top of all that, gave away penalty in the end.

boring boring City , like watching a game of chess ‍

Smash and grab one point Palace. Parking the bus is their main ploy and when they get forward they hope they get a chance. If they do they take it.
We must do better than that last 10 mins.We still had a lot of possession but surely with 4 mins left on the clock we should decide to keep what we already have. Have we no leaders to enforce 10 men behind the ball? We'd have those 3 points in the bag. Liverpool were very fortunate to scrape a win against Palace last week. Its about winning matches with better game management.
