Crystal Palace (A) 6/11 Build-Up & Match Thread

[Freddeno]

u wot

how many goals have semedo cost us? pens and such

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

How hasn't he got booked for that, insane!?

 

[Leigh Griffiths' Hairline]

Weird half. Palace have had all possession but done absolutely nothing with it. We are really struggling with the press.

Agree with giving Adama a chance at HT for Trincao who has been fairly anonymous. Probably need to get Joao off at some point being on this precarious yellow against these cheating cunts.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

What a challenge from Raul that was.

 

[Freddeno]

could be a pen

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Are Palace actually pressing that much? Or is Murray just saying they are, so it feels like they are? They don't seem anymore pressy than anyone else.

no, they dont need to press as we are sitting back

 

[The Bear]

Never a pen

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Semedo excellent there, thank god Zaha didn't see Eduard.

 

[The Bear]

Definitely a game that needs Traore on for Trincao. Someone who can make something happen and beat a man.

Careful saying such things on here, Adama is finished at Wolves!!

 

[Freddeno]

i would switch even at HT

We've pretty completely nullified them without being all that threatening ourselves.

Very annoying the number of times Bruno has been screaming for us to get higher up the pitch but the players just... aren't doing it.

 

[YoungWolf]

Poor quality game.

our wing backs been solid but not given us enough going forwards. They are very limited but obviously have a match winner in Zaha. Be interesting to see how Bruno looks to gain more territory/possession, as I think we’d open them up if we did.

They are in a mid block. Making it very hard for us to play into midfield. Quite aggressive defending when we play to our wing backs too. I’m sat about half way up the pitch so have had a decent view of their shape

 

[Leigh Griffiths' Hairline]

Murray "can wolves weather the storm prior to half time?"

What storm? Palace created fuck all. I can't remember them having a shot.

Very congested game. Lots of small fouls, possession being lost easily. Scrappy.

I'd get Joao off for Donck - can see him picking up a second yellow. Then maybe get Adama on.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Palace had more nearly moments, fear with a bit of luck/quality they’ll get a goal.

Not getting enough from the WBs at all. Then the forwards haven’t really had enoug ball and been poor when they have

 

[Dire Wolf]

Not a half that will live long in the memory. If ever ever there was a game that had 'last on Match of the Day' written all over it, this is that game. It just happened without anything actually happening.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Worked hard but front 3 have suffered from a lack of service and poor decision making at a couple of crucial times.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

We really could have done with Kouyate being booked, he is throwing the challenges in and breaking us up a lot.
