Foden is trash .. not the future ballon dor winner we hoped .

Another deli Ali imho

Something not right with Foden his head his elsewhere

Don't be too hard on the boys, the weekend is here. Things to buy, parties to attend...collecting their meagre salary

Hopefully booked their tickets for Pride as it's hard to get into now.

We’ve been shit yet we’ve been the better team.

I don't think so at all, palace played us like a fiddle that half.

 

[Leroy Leroy Leroy]

Very slow build up, no one making runs of the ball, every pass is sideways. Needs to put a rocker up them at HT

 

[01cravend]

Our wingers don't run in behind so the square balls to the striker aren't there.

It'd be fine but fullbacks don't overlap either

The second goal came when walker attempted something other than his safe 2 yard pass and gave it to palace.

The second goal came from a set piece.

less than 1% of corners result in a goal, so to concede from essentially 2 corners is a set piece defending issue.

People are overreacting to Walker being in a new role because it's the most obvious choice, but Palace haven't had any chances from open play and no one had an issue with it in the first 2 games when he was similarly not Pirlo.

These match threads have a bad habit of just latching onto the most visible difference from normal and deciding that must be 100% to blame for all our issues. Any time Pep drops a player, picks a player, moves someone to a different position or generally doesn't play the exact way we did the week before, people rush to blame it even when it usually has nothing to do with a bad result.

Up his arse

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

Shut up. What do u expect ? Look at this Walker positioning? It’s not working . In no Game did it work. Why is he still doing this? Why are we giving up Zinchenko if Pep wants a RB who gets the ball much more often? Also no winger who actually has pace and goes at players. Look at that bench.

You spoilt little woman

 

[lol yank]

Don’t worry lads Kyle walker is gonna be controlling the middle of the pitch and will unleash the team.
