If AP thinks Lee is a break up player then we need a new manager. Lee is a good footballer he can not defend, no good against the likes of Liverpool in full flow much better used as a sub when they tire.

My mate who is a youth player for palace told me on Friday that Townsend was gonna be dropped for Chungy cos he called Ledley a "Welsh c**t" in training. I know this sounds like a joke but it's what he told me.

..we are way too slow when on and receiving the ball and when against quick organised teams it becomes very obvious, this game was quite predictable and sadly made worse by our weird defending, too many players watch the ball and not the player and too many do not help each other when in tight situations, Pardew is trying to play with a team that cannot play due to it's failure through awareness, also if you cannot provide the opposition with any attack to worry about then you are asking for all the s*** to hit the fan...and it did hit us.
Pardew ferked that first half and some of the players for whatever reason obliged him the honour.

InaPickle is absolutely right. I am worried about Benteke. In the last two matches he does not seem to be able to win a ball. He is always static, surrounded by his two markers, when the ball is hit upfield to him. Why is he not nmobile and making space before the ball gets to him. It is almost as if he has lost interest. He should be reminded of how much Palace paid for him.

Does Pardew discuss all of his team selections with the youth players?

He trains with the first team sometimes

Wish we still had Yannick
