[Beanhead]

Alverez is pissing me off today.

 

[madloaf]

That’s why I turned the sound off!!

This is not a criticism just a concern: is it my imagination or is Erling not jumping as high as he used to? Do you think he’s carrying a niggle on his knee?

Hmm. I'd not noticed. It'd probably help if we got crosses past the first man.

 

[Don Karleone]

1-1 and I think the leagues done

You may be right. I just meant after a bit of a shaky first half, 1-1 is a result. Make some changes and we've got this.

 

[willipp]

His touch isn’t good enough either.

Notice he gets into pockets in midfield and we don’t find him because the lads behind him obviously don’t trust his touch.

So frustrating.

He’s just not good enough to play in that position. When he did get it in space towards the end he just rolled it lazily to the full back when trying to find bobb.

Needs changing now rather than waiting for us to be behind and then doing so, because we will go behind carrying on like this. Once again, one too many players in attack leaving us wide open in the middle. Rodri who is having a complete mare himself needs help.

Grealish off at halftime who's been awful, get kovacic on central next to Rodri and push alvarez out wide for now then replace him with foden when needed. Not winning this without somebody coming in next to rodri.

deja vu really. rodri all alone, midfield wide open, defenders getting crap. copy/paste.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

I wonder how many years we’ve taken off Rodri’s career at the top level with the way we flog him?

 

[christened at st marks]

Lewis best on the pitch

 

[robbieh]

Need some control here. So Alvarez off Kovacic on.

 

[eversince 76]

It was never gonna be easy. But being very sluggish doesn’t help.
We played well after falling behind up until we actually equalised. Than we fell back in the low tempo we all know is not too difficult to defend.

We don’t need any changes. Just up the tempo and stop giving the ball away to get ourselves in trouble.

Where has this Palace been all season then. Big game Charlie's

They always put up a fight against us. Tbf they've also had some classics with the dippers.
