Crystal Palace PL (H) Post match thread

[come-on-barney]

It really is. Gvardiol looks like a Championship full-back, and a really crap one. Walker looks finished. Dias is what these days? Akanji is a mistake waiting to happen, the goalkeeper is iffy, and the best two defenders, Stones and Ake, are, mysteriously, not first pick. Bullshit.

The transfer activity though, next level awful.

We bought an 80 million centre back, why play him at left back. Players did not want to pass to him as knew we had no outlet. That I am afraid is tactical madness.

I thought we controlled the game for long periods but we look so unbalanced at the back and in midfield thus creating very little, Phil had an awful last 5 min or so.
We'll be ok in the end and pep will sort this out.

In the last few games, the player's energy and concentration levels appear to drop off massively with 10-15 mins to go. Last season we were pressing hard even into injury time even without subs, WTF! Maybe we are now seeing the cost of winning the treble last season, a very weary team. Fuck it at least we won the treble, hopefully, we can find our winning form soon and fuck up the red cartel.

Right, so make like for like substitutions and maintain the press. But, unfortunately Pep doesn't have confidence in the bench.

Lack leadership to see games out at present

So, why didn’t he bring on Stones on at 2-1, sorry that doesn’t wash.

That is why I said it was odd - he should have been on at 75+ mins, we could all see our midfield was gassed and our defence is not good enough to deal with pace and space.

We're 3pts off top and playing shite. Everyone else around us, according to the media, are playing in top gear and at their best.
I'm not worried one bit, we've been here so many times at this time of year. Yep we're halfway through the season, so what.

You fans on here wetting your knickers are either jonny come latelys, fans of red mardarse clubs trying to stir it up or city fans not looking at the bigger picture.

I'll say it now. We're winning the league. Simple as that.

Have a great night you blues.

Not what this forum wants to hear mate :)

Lots of anger and frustration at the final whistle. Some booing, others losing it and screaming at the boo-ers whilst most of us trudged out feeling completely gutted. This was the worst of all our recent dreadful results in my view.

I agree because although it was unfathomable how we dropped two points in a game we totally controlled, it was also bloody predictable and synonymous of us this season.

It's bloody criminal with so little time left to throw it away, criminal.

I have read these messages pretty much every season at round this point. I have even written them myself (Newcastle away 2019).

Let’s be fair, sat in the ground these last few games, we are way off it, including previous seasons.

We would have buried Palace with Haaland in the side as well.

 

[Paul1970]

Game management in the last 10 minutes was awful. We need to get our ability to see games out back.

Still this time last year where we're we?

On another note, do we have the worst public transport in Europe? Trams are disgusting tonight.

Totally different team mate from last season. And we had also not won a treble . Need to stop wasting thinking that we do this every season .
