Crystal Palace (A) build up thread

Donk way off the pace at the moment. Really frustrating me.

Excellent ball in by Hoever then. Just needed Willian to gamble and he’d have a debut goal.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Exactly. No idea.

It’s so obvious he’s always gonna come inside.

Wouldn't you prefer him to come inside considering Wolves never load the box for options to cross to?

 

[The Bear]

Desperately need to get more men forwards in the final third. Podence is always coming too centrally, and Neto is isolated when he does get forwards.

Edit - Think Semedo got away with that tackle there.

I love watching Kilman play football

 

[Premier Quality]

Great tackle by Semedo, gets the man and the ball.

 

[The Bear]

I'd definitely switch Neto and Podence sides. May as well as Pod isn't going wide at all.

No. Easier to defend. Jose had moved looking for a cross but by the time Neto had crossed it Jose was on the bus with his headphones on.

I have been thinking of that..we are never more than 2 in the box when the cross comes in, just on set pieces..of course you score less goals then

Not really, no.

It slows our attack down every time he does it.

Now he’s moved to the left......looks better straight away.

Can’t wait to see a pass map for Moutinho. Literally 100% backwards at the moment.

That said, you do feel there’s a goal or two here for us. Not that we’ve made their keeper work yet.

 

[t3ch]

mou actually makes an excellent cross and everyone misses it

 

[Freddeno]

good corner from mout for once

 

[The Bear]

Moutinho has played the ball forwards. Not often enough though.

That's probably the best corner he's put in in months too.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Great corner that drops literally in the middle of the 6 yard box and there’s no one within 5 yards of it.

 

[redvictor]

Joao in direct corner shocker!

 

[The Bear]

Could do with pinging passes with a bit more pace in the final third. That's a couple of times they've been under hit now.

 

[Lichens]

Hoever needs to keep the ball much much better

 

[Templeton Peck]

Jose makes a big difference

 

[The Bear]

We definitely look sharper and more up for it all over the pitch compared to Palace. Just got to string those attacking passes together better.

Jose's hold up play with his back to goal has been excellent.

 

[AndyWolves]

Hoever needs to keep the ball much much better

His passing isn't quite there at the moment
