watching the motd highlights again...cant see how anyone can say that KG missed a sitter from 2 yards....he tried to put it past the keeper into the top corner and missed....do think kg does do a lot unseen work...he is quoting eric cantona the water-carrier in the team...do think bannan is a better player but he isnt being picked...woeful is the crap we put up with earlier in the season

He was unmarked from 6 yards out. If a professional footballer can't finish that on his stronger foot, there's something wrong.

I've been stewing on this all weekend and it's time to face facts. We're going down. And we're going down bottom of the pile unless something changes.

What were the tactics for Saturday ? Bearing in mind we were playing a team in the bottom three with an awful home record (albeit better than ours away !). Surely this was a game where 3 points were there for the taking. I guess anyone can argue that 1 point is a means to an end but the simple truth is that if we don't score we're not going to get a point every time.Bannan not even on the bench ? Is he injured or is he sh*gging TP's daughter ?

Also :

Jedders : WTF is going on with him ? What is the point of having a 'ball winning' midfielder if he just gives it straight back to them to have another go ? The guy cannot pass for toffee whether it be 30 yards or three. It's got to be the worst passing performance I've seen in a Palace shirt since the days of Neil Emblen (yes, THAT bad !). I'm sorry but if by some miracle we stay up TP will be offloading him. You simply cannot have a player who gives the ball away so consistently.

Yannick : All bluster and pace but flatters to deceive and is quite frankly a liability when he get near their 18 yard box and is coming across to me as all mouth and trousers. To be fair, tackles back very well and puts in a proper shift.

KG : Have defended him for ages but I'm afraid after Saturday he's worn me down. Not good enough, and I was saying that before he blasted the ball wide from 2 yards out near the end.

Positives :

Jules : Outstanding as usual. two great saves (one was offside, but he wasn't to know that).

Defence. Outstanding also, especially as both full backs booked in the first 15 which could have made for a long afternoon if one of them had picked up another yellow. They must get well p*ssed off that they're doing their but but we can't create anything up the other end.

Answers ? No idea, but we have to treat each game differently surely. If it had been Anfield, fair enough, but we need to be more of a threat, and we'll need to be also at Cardiff, West Ham and Fulham or our season is just going to fade away.

You are in my heart Palace and I love you deeply. Always have, always will but jesus christ you make me sooo angry sometimes !.

Rant over.


Bubble,

You may as well stew on it until the end of next season, IF, we stay up, £60m for staying up is hardly going to buy us a team to keep us up with comfort, let alone compete with the top six.

I agree Jedi has had a couple of bad games, but he never could pass. Just tired maybe, through carrying the team???? You can't fault his break up play.

Bolasie is still developing. His skill is outstanding. Yet to find his finishing form.

KG I'm inclined to agree.

However, if you think that they are the only improvements we need, we should be mid table. We are not, as we all see.

I don't think that we can improve very much with a mere £6om. That only buys one quality player when you factor in wages for the season.

So... either support what we have or stop whingeing.

Rant ove.......

The worry is we have now got so defensive minded we have forgotten how to attack,can understand Pulis tactics,but we don't look like we have a counter attack game plan,we seem to gain possession and not know what to do next,hence so many miss placed passes.

The reason we don't counter attack well is that we don't have any players with real pace. When we were in the Prem last time we had AJ and Routledge but we have no one like them now so we rely a lot on Chamakh's ball control to hold the ball up. We have miised Chamakh badly since his injury so let's hope he's back soon.

Bolasie, Ince, Gayle are very fast, whilst CamJam, Puncheon, Ward, Moxey, Parr, Bannan are what most people would call quick. To counter you have to make the right decisions and pass the ball well one touch stylee.
The last two things mentioned are what we do extremely badly.....
