Crystal Palace PL (H) Post match thread

[Baconsane]

Palace take points of us before Christmas again. We were so in control. We just need to find a way of finishing teams off.

Jesus wept…

If Jesus had been up in CBL3 with us this afternoon, he would have wept!

Pissing about passing sideways and back for the last 15:minutes including extra time hoping to hold on to a 2-1 lead is down to Pep. Along with no substitutions until it was too late.

It is frustrating in the extreme. City have won only one of our last 6 league matches and this from a team which was expected to stroll to a fourth title on the run. We can still win it but it will certainly be no stroll. We are favourites for the champions league!! But in our last 6 PL games we have come back to beat Luton but have conceded goals in stoppage time in 3 and a late goal in another which have cost us 8 points. It is hard to excuse such slackness against top four rivals but when the latest beneficiary from our generosity is a team which has taken the grand total of 5 points from its last 8 games it beggars belief. Especially when that team was 2-0 down with 18 minutes to play (stoppage time included). City no longer seem to manage games so much as hope for the best. It is not too late for us to put a title winning run together but time is running out, and I think we need to change our attitude immediately. In support of my claim that attitude may be the problem I claim that on Wednesday it was the young lads who impressed and the more senior players who had questions to answer.

Pep fuming. Mainly, I think, with Foden.

I'm sorry- but that's a shameful interview from Pep...

He says the "red card from Rodri can happen, but the penalty can't"

...Is he fucking serious? Talk about throwing a player under the bus...

He’d have been cross

Both their goals were down to indvidual mistakes.

Mistakes happen when tired. Criminal he made no changes, was clear for all to see what was coming. Wasnt even remotely a surprise they equalised. That says it all…

 

[big gaz]

Anyway. Don’t rise to the bait in here.

The players deserve our upmost respect for the past achievements. Not winning is not going to change that for me.

Collectively we are not good enough this time out. Certainly in the league anyway.

Passive, complacently and look knackered.

No shame in hitting the wall.

Onwards we go.

Regarding " look knackered" in full agreement.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Our goals went straight to VAR but nothing regarding foul on Bernie?

They obviously checked it, but it was never bad enough to overturn the on-field decision.

Like I can't speak for what other people were doing, if people were booing the ref then so be it, but I think that's putting our problems at the wrong door.

Though we were poor the last 10min, but referrees are making sure that we wont win the league this season, they are like accident waiting and blowing whistle for small mistakes. On the other hand doing anything they can to help liverpool win matches (For example: Ayew red card against liverpool).
