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

[Alan]

Who was it we lost to suspension for not doing this in Europe?

Feels like Podence shit, but I'd need to ring the @Deutsch Wolf alarm.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

OOh, Enzo

 

[Alan]

A wild Enso appears!

Yeah that was my immediate thought too (Podence not DW )

 

[Jinky]

OOh, Enzo

Why’s he bringing him on in the 89th minute, though?

Give him 15-20 minutes to see how he gets on or don’t bother.

Well 8 minutes + is decent?

 

[t3ch]

Gonzalez lol

If you think that last bit isn’t damning on the coaching I don’t know what to say. If it was isolated incidents I could understand but it’s constant across the entire season.

I think it falls on everyone personally, attacking wise you see bits of joined up thinking at times but defensively they're rarely on the same page. That could be plain shit coaching, lack of understanding from the players of what they actually need to do or a combination of both. There's certainly been little evidence of tactics evolving to cover persistent weaknesses individually but there's also plenty of rank individual play that no amount of tactical wizardry is going to overcome.

 

[Squeak]

How does the ref give that our way ? LOL

 

[Alan]

Well 8 minutes + is decent?

Ye, with stoppage time being more accurate these days, coming on in the 89th isn't quite the dead rubber appearance it used to be.

 

[The Bear]

Lol rugby tackle from Enso = free kick Wolves

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

That was a great ball, where the fuck are we!? Oh yeah, we just took Toti off..

 

[Jack Regan]

A wild Enso appears!

Shit Podence dye job though.

 

[Alan]

Shit Podence dye job though.

Don't hate the rizz

 

[Squeak]

Lol rugby tackle from Enso = free kick Wolves

I thought it was a bit of sumo wrestling.

 

[Squeak]

We get a free kick 10 yards in their half... not a thought about getting it in the box.... tip tap ball ending with a shit ball and no opportunity created. I don't understand modern football.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Those hopeful balls into the edge of the box from Sarabia and Doyle are fucking awful, work about 1 in 20. Get it wide and try and work it you twats.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Can't question Pablo's effort today.

 

[Jinky]

Well that was horrible.

Gonna be a real half arsed lap of honour at the end here.

 

[Alan]

Full time.

5 of our final 6 home matches ended in defeat.
