Crystal Palace PL (H) Post match thread

How soon people forget

Never forget but it's weird the more we win the more I want us to win and the more disappointed I am when we lose or draw a game! Think it's called spoiled rotten by pep and the players

 

[SamTheGuru]

Drop Ederson for what exactly?!

Do people really expect him to leave the goal wide open and just assume that the cross is going to go through Dias's legs, and Ake won't be in a better position?!

C'mon, people... The defense has left him out to dry more than ever this season.

I just want Ederson to save an important penalty for once. The two central defenders splitting with ferdy/rodri dropping deep to create the triangle has disappeared. We don't really seem to have a shape at the moment.

Has Eddie actually saved any penalty’s? I can’t remember one…..

 

[Coatigan]

Man I knew we shouldn't have let Perrone go on loan! Tixiki ffs!

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

It's not helped that our attack take about 30 shots at goal to score 1!!!
If we were putting our chances away, the defensive issue wouldn't seem quite so bad.

And VAR is twitching to scrub that one!

 

[madloaf]

Which two? 3 of the 4 have been almost regulars, when available.

Kova - not in our best 11 and def won’t be when kev back (kev not injured at time of signing)
Nunes - not in our best 11. Not even close.

 

[Gaz in Zurich]

Nope he's gash at pens

 

[Vester]

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...

I love Foden, but that "defending" cost us 2 pts no matter how you see it. We are currently on an absolutely awful streak and I have no issues with the manager calling out any player. Just as they deserve praise when they are playing well, they should be able to handle being criticized when doing mistakes costing the team important points. If someone cant handle being called out when making a huge mistake, they shouldn't play for a team that wants to be the best in the world. I'm sure Phil can handle it, take it the right way and learn from it.

 

[blue whippet]

Could have finished after 7 words.
And add Alvarez.

Agree, Alvarez had a terrible game.

 

[big gaz]

Bernie, can't pass 5 yards, Foden was better at 19, Jack, no comment, Josko piss poor again, Walker my word, what does he do? walks back for the first, after fluffing his lines again, Jack no comment, maybe in a mo, Eddie is not our best keeper, Ortega would of got the cross and saved the shot for the first, confused, me too, Jack slows us down, crab, crab, yes 3 in 3, so what, we are not getting the best out of him, time may tell if he's good enough, Dias and RIco good, Rodri, beyond reproach, Alvarez burnt out, glad my stream went and got fed up with that woman co commentator, fooking hell.

Is that one worm or two as bait ?

 

[TB369]

Todays game was the same situation that has plagued us for awhile now. We create so many chances but hardly ever finish any, whereas the opposition can create 1 or 2 chances a game and score. Something needs to be done about it as we are bleeding points.

 

[JewelZee]

We havent played the winning back line from last season once. And we’ve had opportunity.

BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Stelea]

Coincidentally he saved one away at Palace last minute in 2017/18

 

[come-on-barney]

For sure. I am not sure who though?

All of them :)

 

[Bluefen]

Disgusted at three things today…

Walker diving in and leaving the major gap that gets exploited - time and again, he’s playing like an 19yr old Micah Richard’s hoping his pace will recover the situation

Pep not changing his formation when it was clear the game was to be managed - Gvardiol is pushed up as a left winger when Palace were in the ascendency in the final 15 mins

The fans who left on 80mins - utter disgraceful - the game is in its final throws - we are battling to stay in front and the usual mass exodus on 80 mins… if you need to get home early - consider staying at home and letting someone who will stay to the end and help raise the team have your ticket - pathetic and complacent

 

[Stelea]

No wonder ‘fans’ were shinning their phone lights in the 2nd half. At that time of the game we were simply boring. After the Lewis goal we went into conservation mode and fannied about from side to side for fuck all.

To be fair, ragcafe isn’t a very happy place either. Come hang out here for a bit.

I'm sorry, but on what earth are you and Pep living in that he defends Rodri's red card versus Forest as something that "can happen" but a bad mistake while trying to clear the ball from Phil as something that "cannot happen".

Not to mention him not calling anyone else out all season as far as I know. Despite, you know, the actual defenders being atrocious all season. It's a wildly unfair criticism of Phil no matter what way you cut it and it just furthers my belief that he's treated differently than players who were bought versus coming up through the academy.

 

[blue by birth]

What did the officials do wrong? All goals and penalties are VAR checked and I've not heard anyone suggest the penalty decision was incorrect.

I think the pull on Bernie just before the palace penalty was what people mean..I was in SS3 and everyone thought it was a foul and should have been given..which means the penalty wouldn't have happened.

 

[paulchapo]

You bastard! I'm doubly angry about that result now.

Ha ha just be happy for me lol.
