People are saying we are not defending well the transitions, but even with Kovacic it would be the same, because we are losing the ball in 3v3 situations. It's not like Palace is getting the ball back in their area and going through our midfield. It's our defense and midfield the ones losing the ball in dangerous positions.

Alvarez is on a poor run of games.

Rodri being targeted by Palace in our own half

Distance between x3 defenders is way too much

Stones cannot go wandering upfield and leave x2.

Suspect Kovacic will replace Alvarez HT or on hour

or Bobb being sacrificed with Alvarez moving right.

This place. I’m offski…

Still true tho. We have a weakness and it’s going to cost us.

Trying to be masters of our own downfall so I'll take 1-1 for now

What kind of loser suggests we should be drawing 1-1......

Without service Haaland is an average footballer.
Either we need to service or drop him.

League 2?

Imagine being a fly on the wall in the dressing room now

We're going to come out bollocks out and smash the cunts.

1-1 and I think the leagues done

Yep. Need to get our act together right now otherwise it’s over.

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

We've had 4 shots saved or cleared off the line
they have been busy around our area and we are pissing about with our passing but have offered fuck all threat unless made by ourelves.

we are unlucky not to go in leading, Pep won't allow such sloppiness second half

we're also lucky to be still drawing, total chaos this match. If he had any Pep would've pulled his hair out at that first half, so little control due to their mad pressing and our mad midfield.
