Crystal Palace (H) 11/5: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Elephant Pyjamas]

No and no.

Semedo and Cunha.

Can't agree.

But anyway, we're not "largely fit" now. That's clearly nonsense.

When was the last time Hwang, Neto and Cunha all played together?

 

[YoungWolf]

It’s actually embarrassing how badly organised we are. People can pretend that’s about individuals if they want, but it’s crap coaching

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Does that mean it’s a given and a free pass to being outplayed and 0-2 down at home to Palace?

No? Love to see where i said that pal?

Exactly this. We are fucking shit.

If by "people" you mean me, as i've said a couple of times now, i was merely responding the "largely fit" comment. For some reason since arguing that i've got a load of comments arguing against a point i wasn't making.

Because you’re giving excuses to us being bad like two players out injured

You simply cannot blame the sorts of tactical mistakes we are making on personnel or injuries. It’s a red herring at this point, regardless of what you think is nonsense.

 

[The Bear]

Mental fatigue will definitely be playing a part to some extent. But I agree it's been very poor recently with lots of mistakes. We definitely miss Dawson's composure and experience.

Christ. I’ve seen loads saying it’s about individual issues. You’re not as important as you think you are

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Ambrose co commentator is a cunt

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

No, i didn't do that at all.

I was making the very obvious point that we don't have a "largely fit" squad, because that isn't true.

Tactics could be spot on but fatigue is a serious issue in any sport. It always leads to mistakes, particularly defensively.

Stuff like this @Elephant Pyjamas

Says the guy giving it the big un because you've been a consistent misery about GON?

This is where leadership comes to the fore and we have been lacking for weeks. Kilman being Captain is laughable.

 

[Tredman]

We’re just set up terribly, if you couple that with an absolute fraud as captain and at the heart of your defence it will end badly. We look nailed on for relegation next season, it’s so bad it’s not even funny.

Absolutely looking forward to the massive increase next week.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Relegation form and selling our best players to fund any signings. Good luck with that Season Ticket announcement Jeff.

 

[Alan]

The squad is largely fit, that that still leaves us in a hole is a different discussion.

 

[jd1981]

No, i didn't do that at all.

Define a largely fit squad? 2/3 players out that’s about normal for most sides to deal with at any point and should be manageable by some decent organisation and a tactical rethink none of which have been evident in recent weeks.

Fatigue doesn’t push players so high up the pitch that we’re exposed 3v2 in Palace’s favor after every turnover.
