trooper 940 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Another game another 3 points, yeah we played pretty poor but it was one of those games when whoever took their chance would win the game. I hope we get new owners because with a little bit of investment we could be fairly close to a european qualifying place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19735 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 51 minutes ago, Howay said: Aye, especially baffling considering we were against a side who have basically never had one of them foreigners as manager and when they did sacked him after 4 games to bring Roy Hodgson in. A man that plays two wingers up front who spend the game playing on the wing leaving no one in the centre to actually have a go at goal. Agree about Cabaye too, he looks fucking shite tbh, they showed some stats of him and Shelvey at half time and Shelvey had him beat on all of them despite Shelvey having a very poor half. Yedlin has come on massively under Rafa imo, doesn't have to depend on his pace as much but it's a real asset on the attack. If we do get bought by someone that has any level of ambition it looks like we'll be placed in a good spot in January for them to kick on straight away. Lascelles and Lejuene look to be a real solid pairing btw. Perez really isn't meant for the position he is playing, we really don't have anyone else and he works hard so I understand why Rafa is playing him. Diame is the exact opposite of the saying they trot out about good players of "he makes it all look so easy" as honestly every touch of the ball he has looks so fucking difficult it's like he's trying to trap a bouncy ball on hardwood floor ffs. If that isn't Perez's position, what is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's better out wide where he's able to run at the full back, or up front (like when he got games after he first moved to us, although that could just be me remembering that spell fondly), he seems to get crowded out in the area in between the lines despite grafting.

trooper 940 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 With our next 2 games being Burnley (a) & Bournemouth (h) we should be looking to take all 6 points before we face Man Utd (a) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Cabaye should have been off. Average performance, happy with the 3 points. Onto the next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19735 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 He'll jump ship again in the summer if Palace go down, which it looks like they will, probably at a knock down price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I'd rather not sign a player who hasn't shown a bit of form in a year for Palace no matter how good he was for us. If we had a load of money the last player is want is Townsend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philmagwired 4 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Townsend way better than Atsu, can't really compare him to Richie. When we are getting nullified on the flanks like today,you are looking for a threat through the middle and we have Perez and fucking Diame. Shelvey might be worth a look, he's as dynamic as SlowMo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 3418 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Great that we're finally dangerous from corners. What a shambles that was under Pardew. Ritchie's delivery is generally very good as well. Enjoyed Cabaye floating their corners aimlessly towards the far post. Never really understood that type of corner, takes all the pace out of the ball and has to be an extraordinary header to score from it. Ah the little things in life The last of Pardew's filthy germs are falling off from the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30239 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Cabaye was a dirty little coward when he was here but at least he had a bit of talent then. We were quite fortunate but, tbh, Palace got precisely what they deserved for, after a decent first half performance, being so negative after the break. There’s nowt better than seeing a team who’ve cheated and spoilt then rushing about like blue arsed flies trying to salvage something after conceding a late goal. And, if we are taken over and suddenly have a bit of money to spend I hope we sign a player as good as Zaha thinks he is 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason Man Utd pedalled him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12447 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Can’t say I’d like to see us sign Townsend again for the money they are quoting. The only way we’d spend that on a player would be if we do get some mega money takeover, and as Quiff said if that happened we could get better than him. Zaha is fucking tragic though, clearly thinks he’s a Bale/Ronaldo type player as he’s a similar type of height and build, the issue is he’s a fucking tart and is average as fuck. The clip of some of his dives man, in fact the prick should have been sent off for a second yellow after pulling Yedlin back, which he only did because his fragile ego couldn’t handle the fact that Yedlin with the ball is still faster than him without it.

Also, the ref was canny shite and bought most of the dives but even he cottoned on to Zaha. Think Palace deserved to lose just for the gamesmanship alone tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
