Crystal Palace (A) 18/10: Build-Up & Match Thread

[MARKakaJIM]

Dreadful effort from Neves, nice to see him make that sort of run for a change though.

 

[Tony Towner]

Refereeing in the PL is so inconsistent. On Saturday breathing on someone was a foul, today he's letting everything go

 

[Jinky]

Well we looked good for 10 minutes. They’re well on top now, though.

I don't think I've ever seen a player point as much as Podence

 

[The Bear]

Definitely struggling for possession now. Launching it forwards isn't helping.

 

[Tony Towner]

It's coming

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Sa's distribution been disappointing so far, usually a strong point of his.

 

[EnglishBob]

Pass back, pass back, pass back. Hoof!

 

[jd1981]

First ten minutes we looked good and regressed back to type I’m afraid. Sloppy hopeful balls forward.

 

[The Bion]

Anyone who kicks it long towards Podence needs fining

 

[SSB]

Normally a big fan of McCoist but he must be getting paid for every time he mentions we’ve only scored 4 goals this season.

You can turn comms off on Amazon

 

[Alan]

We still look like a collection of individuals rather than a team.

 

[jd1981]

If you’re going to hoof it anyway why bother with 4-5 needless pass across the back.

 

[Jinky]

Encouraging 10 mins but offering absolutely nothing now. Can’t keep hold of the ball and can’t get Costa in to the game at all. Adama careless in possession - we need him to hold on to the ball far better than he is.

Also not entirely convinced by this passing across the back line stuff we seem to love doing.

 

[thisisgil]

Old Traore having a mare so far. Isolated and has given the ball away cheaply multiple times

 

[prawnking]

B Traore looks a good competitor

 

[Alan]

B Traore looks a good competitor

Just call him "Boob" methinks

 

[Dire Wolf]

This looks like only going one way.

 

[The Bion]

B Traore looks a good competitor

He does. Love Mout but we've not had this kind of energy in CM for a while.
