Crystal Palace PL (H) Post match thread

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Should have called a foul for Bernardo having his shirt clearly being pulled. I thought we were very unlucky today. We bossed the game and played well but I’m the poster with all the positives

Defending like shit is not “unlucky”…

Sadly, it doesn't work like that John.

We had a shit transfer window over the summer, Pep's team selection has been erratic, and his game management has been fucking dreadful

We need a couple of decent signings in January in addition to getting KDB, Doku and John Stones back full-time.

The last thing we needed this season was to be involved in the tin pot World Club tournament.

Getting mugged by Woy Hodgson shows just how far Pep is off his game this season.

Appreciate the candid response - no name calling, or suggesting I'm a rag/dipper.

Was I ecstatic with the window - no. That leads to the first part of the next sentence in a way, due to injuries (and form) I think Pep's just trying to find something that works with what he's got. Game management has been an issue - at 2-0 today I'd have pulled Alvarez simply to secure things (and Alvarez isn't my scapegoat).

Your next paragraph is nailed on. January and getting those 3 fit and firing is crucial.

The cwc (see what I did with the lower case ;)) I'd be using as warm weather work and seeing if we can tweak things to get some form of rhythm.

Onwards and upwards Blue

Boos were for the officiating

Not sure about that actually. No-one around me didn't think it was a stone wall penalty. That result was on the team / Pep and not the officials

Making substitutions still wouldn't have erradicated any indivdiual errors in the team. Palace weren't battering us so no real need for personnel changes. There are obvious flaws in our overall mentality but it is still not beyond us in winning the league again as there were times last season where we didn't look likely in winning it nevermind the Treble.

Pull on Bernie’s shirt?

We’re winning Jack fucking shit.

Happy clappers can suck my fucking arse.

We’re shite.

If we win jack shit, we win jack shit.

It is not a given right.

I dont think they were today. A howl of frustration more than anything, I think, but I don't think we had loads to be angry at the ref for.

Energy.

I said before the game a clean sheet would be a bloody miracle. I don't honestly know where one is coming from. Something definitely amiss with us this season.
