What the hell do you think people could possibly make of that sh1t show today. Clueless tactics, uninspired players. The manager has to take some blame for that so get off your high horse. You are no better than anyone else on here who feels robbed by that performance.

Spot on. Sheffield United are clearly being coached better than we are. If that isn't the manager and the coaches fault whose is it ?

Benteke could have got stuck in far more than he did. A bit like the opposition players did. Maybe he could learn from their example as none of ours are breaking into a sweat.

This I agree with, to my knowledge he didn't jump for a hoofed ball once, defenders beat him everytime.

Also agree that our service to him is on par with sunday league(tho that's prob a disservice to SL)

This is up there with the worst iv seen in last few years.

Totally agree, been a long while since such a bad performance throughout 90 minutes that I’ve watched in this prem run. Couldn’t believe that Hodgson didn’t Change the tactics. Or perhaps I can on some of last seasons matches? It was crying out to get the back four further upfield. They were to deep leaving huge gaps between midfield and forwards? Sheffield are not a good prem team (yet) and we were far worse than them. Badly need Tompkins and Sakho back to play football out of defence. The two at the moment can’t do this and that plus them playing to deep screwed us up. With that said the players in front of them were also poor, continuously not being able to control or pass the ball? Awful performance that needs sorting quick.

Zaha doesn’t want to play for us - we should have sold him to Everton while we had the chance. No doubt this has created a toxic environment inside the first team as well. We are at least three players short and the owners should have spent roughly £40-50 m more than we did in the summer. Championship here we come.

They made us pass the ball around aimlessly because they knew how to close a football team down. ..they battled, we pussy footed.

Van Aanholt out of position constantly, the back line hopelessly left to look pathetic by the midfield who with the attack never woke up, apart from that great.

I’ve forgotten what we were wearing tbh. Could’ve been rucksacks with 20 kg in them.

Van Aanholt should have defended better for their goal, he also gave them their best opportunity in the first half! if he had played a little better we should have held out for another 0-0 ..the result would then have been OK.

After today's abject and pathetic performance it is hard to construct a case to argue otherwise.And I don't really think this will be the last one.

For me(not that anyone cares) this is our worse performance ive witnessed since the 0-4 drubbing by Sunderland at home Sat 4th Feb 2017.(yes I googled it)

No clue, No idea, No passion, No heart, No nothing.

Long drive home, pissed off, 'Trouts' unhappy AND I aint even got a cat to kick.

Unfortunately I have no idea something very wrong behind the scenes that my sources can’t divulge.

Clearly not all is well as shown in today’s performance.

Q? What happened to all the players YOU were adamant CPFC were going to get, through your sources?

Just asking like

Beware !
I had a great deal of ordure hurled in my direction when I mentioned the word "Sources" in terms of people I had engaged in conversation regarding football matters !
I had all that "In the know" piffle aimed in my direction !

Returning to today's performance it really was pathetic and the team totally let down all of our supporters.They need to hang their heads in shame.Very worrying indeed.

Interesting point about the defence playing so deep and why the Wan Bissaka only being a right back argument doesn't stack up. What happens when you don't have any pace at the back.

Loooooooooool

Astonishing BS

 

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

to be honest he did win a few, one in the first half and that clown townsend who i thought was awful today, got in his way. townsend like had no communication with other players as him and ward got their wires crossed on ocassion!

Originally posted by Den1923

I fully agree IMO Benteke did not work hard enough, he did not hold the ball so others would make space around him and he was poor in the air against defenders who were last season playing in the championship. This result sums up the progress this team is not making and the mess that Parish et-al have got us in to again!

At least you are consistent.
You have never tried to construct a case for Palace
not being relegated.
Six seasons of being wrong and still you persist.
I admire your front Sir.

There needs to be a rethink at Selhurst Park in all areas of the club.
Manager and Staff need to be told that playing for a 0-0 draw every week is no longer acceptable and be given 6 matches for an improvement in performence and results failure to do this will terminate their positions.

Director of football needs to be sacked and replaced with someone who knows what they are doing.Someone who can see we need Forwards

Players need to understand their roles and put into positions they understand and for start all of the new players transferred in should be starting as is the case with all the other clubs who have bought players in.

Finally the Board needs to accept responsibility for the welfare of the club and if it means more finance then that is what they should be resourcing with new ownership if that whats required .

The fans as loyal as they are AND the best in the land deserve better from all at CPFC.

Someone I know has money on Hodgson being the first PL manager to go.

No idea but he is getting boos from a small group which you can hear on the tv mics.

Categorically NOT from the Palace fans. We sang his name loud and proud from before the game and all the way through.

He got a lot of stick from the home crowd that grew considerably worse after their Number 2 began persistently fouling him and he had a go back.
