Just on O’Neil i think the reaction to his comments are bizarre, like a validation that you think he’s shit so will take it that way. Been done to death but we all know not one fan would have chosen him and in all likelihood we’ll be looking for another manager this season but I don’t understand...

Probably not no which again has to question our recruitment over the last few years.

He’s very good against some players or has been (Zaha, Mbappe) but then hopeless against others (Mitoma, A.Davies) Defensively he’s very good 80% of the time but when he’s not he is literally 1/10 and we all know about his weakness with balls played over his head. He’s also one of if not the...

Possibly that’s the reason why but it’s not working because as you say teams have worked it out by keeping someone high and wide on the left. Also true that he’s not really had anyone infront of him to help out and Lemina and Gomes seem much better at pinching the ball rather than covering that...

Yeah he does it all the time, presses too late and doesn’t get close enough. Just leaves space behind him to exploit, no idea how any of our coaches haven’t spotted this. Don’t think Semedo is fairly solid though he’s as inconsistent as the left backs. Agree that defending is a bigger issue...

All to blame for me. Sarabia follows Eze but doesn’t block the pass through the lines. Semedo is tucked in but doesn’t react to Sarabia pressing and leaves the space and then he invites the cross. Centre backs are both a yard out of position or too slow and bang.

Second one is the worst for me because he does it time and time again. Loses sight of Mateta and then runs at him when the ball is played but never gets close enough which leaves him in no mans land. Stays where he is and the flick on goes straight to him, react quicker and challenge Mateta, the...

I think this is the big thing for me. I don’t think Fabio, Cunha, Sarabia etc… are anywhere near as bad or ineffective as they looked yesterday but as long as we have no style of play, no patterns of play, no consistency in approach to games then it’s going to be very hard for the forward...

Not just this comment but several others are why it becomes pointless talking about Fabio in particular. Everything negative gets magnified and the hyperbole is just silly. Everyone knows we want more from him and he needs to show more but offered less than nothing is bullshit isn’t it and stuff...

Wouldn’t say Cunha has been any better in the last 2 games though either. Sasa looks better than them both and should be first choice with Fab/Cunha supporting. Still think a recognisable style of play would help our forward players a bit more especially Fab and Cunha with the runs they need to...

Think everyone was on the side of this is probably not going to go well to varying degrees but biggest thing for me after just 4 league games is I can’t see a style of play. All good managers have a style that you can clearly see and we don’t have one. No patterns to play from the back even...

Finally back in Wolverhampton, Palace never gets easier such a shit hole with a shit view and the game well just pretty shit overall. Called it at half time that despite being in the game and causing them issues at times we would give shit goals away, most goals are because of an error but our...

Good professional performance against a side that were never going to trouble us really. Gave the ball away early on a couple of times that could of cost us but apart from the shot against the post we weren’t troubled. We played 343 for the majority of the game with Fabio on the left but he did...

Well football is a funny old game because over 90 minutes that was definitely the worst game of the 3 so far. Struggled with the press from minute 1 and when we did get out the quality just wasn’t there, our ability to choose the most passive option and fuck that up is unmatched i think. Sa -...

Think the stories today started from that Petalengro bloke who used to write the Southbank resistance blogs. He said he heard from Hong Kong, New York and Stourbridge……

All about repetition really and striking of the ball and angles. Sometimes it’s just better to do it without pressure to enable them to keep doing it. When they play their 5 a sides, 11v11 on a shortened pitch it will be about taking those repetitions into a game setting. Fabio’s issue on...

Alonso played at centre back mainly for Barca last season to be fair. That being said we really shouldn’t be looking to sign him in any capacity.

Where he put it he had to lift it and it’s a goal but along the floor gave Steele a chance with his legs. Could have gone through his legs or gone round him but as mentioned that is a dying art. Still think him being in that position, his finish for the offside goal and his link up for the RAN...

The classic mouthbreather joke. Brilliant, although as you’re in the Southbank now you will gradually lose that ability because we are all the same. Mouthbreathers, incapable of logical thinking or understanding.

They make them different in S5. It definitely happened over in S1/S2. You probably didn’t hear it over your chants at Jeff and Guo. Obviously wasn’t singing after they left the pitch, I wasn’t being entirely serious with the time.
