You and bloody Hodgson's corners You must admit though that we have become ineffective from corners. It was one of our strengths.

Scott Dann has a real eye for goal which the likes of Sakho and Tompkins just haven’t shown. Bigger issue seems to be we don’t have much of a plan, with a couple of exceptions. Must be hundreds of corners have gone on in the last couple of seasons to little effect. The reason I sometimes mention Kane or corners is because it is a reminder that not every single thing which RH (or any human) does is right all of the time. I don’t agree with his usage of Meyer either, which is on another thread.
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

We play much better football under RH, maybe because we have better players now. Keep banging on about Kane taking corners, when it wasn't even for our team, seems a bit irrelevant. When Benteke starts taking corners, then you would have a point.

Anyway you are not wrong there when you state things are much easier on the eye these days. But as you said Pulis had a far inferior squad. One thing about Pulis was we could get absolutely battered then nick a 1-0. These days we often do the battering but don’t get what we deserve through poor finishing. Ironically Schlupp is not one of the culprits there and often takes his chances this year or makes something happen in the box. Edited by Maine Eagle (17 Feb 2019 3.29pm)

Teams facing us organised themselves to stop it and our football has altered accordingly with creating more opportunities through open play, mostly Benteke has failed with his heading and Dann almost killed himself against moan.c.

I'm struggling to think of the last time we scored from a corner.. Or how many we have scored from corners over the last couple of seasons.
Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

..not Hodgson's fault. In away it is, he must notice we don't score from corners, A/ because the corner kicks are terrible, B/ seems like there isn't any plan with the players in the box, (that just might be the poor corner kicks though,)if he can't sort it out he should hire a defensive coach.

i have to say...i was sceptical of schlupps signing, it was expensive and big on wages. however, it has to be said, whenever called upon he has done a solid if not spectacular job, which is fine. it has been mooted he is the best finisher at the club, and has chipped in with a few goals. i have changed my opinion on him, he in my eyes is now a solid versatile player who when called upon does a solod job. however, i would rather max start in front of him, but thats not my call, its roys...and in my eyes roy can do nothing wrong whatsoever. Me too, I have certainly warmed to Jeff more now. Starting to see his contribution a little more. You cannot take away from him that he does have a goal threat. I am a bit torn with regards to Max. For me he takes the easy ball all too often. There were occasions yesterday when he had space to carry the ball but more often than not will go sideways. Of course I do not not know what instructions he is under but for me, he could take far more risks and responsibility and can actually slow us down. At least Jeff does try to get the ball up the pitch. I actually thought Max was a bit meh yesterday and I would guess hes back on the bench against Leicester. In fairness to Max as well with his limited game time he has chipped in with a couple of goals. Against the Hammers he was very impressive, particularly his link up play with Wilf. Its I just dont see what a lot of Palace fans see at the moment. Maybe its a similar case as with when Cabaye first joined, he turned out to not be the type of player we were expecting, albeit a very good one. Problem he is going to have with us is that I just dont think that when we play a 3 in midfield he is ever going to play regularly. It looks like he just doesnt fit into what Roy wants.

He's a grafter, always puts a shift in and isn't afraid to shoot.

Great words Originally posted by Straightbackup
It says a lot about the sorry state of football that a player of his ability goes for £10m. He can’t pass, his first touch is appalling and he goes missing time and time again when we lose the ball- often because of him. I’m astounded that anyone can’t see that Max is pure class- he’s the complete antithesis of Schlupp. Never gives the ball away, always available for a pass, probably the best touch in the club. Meyer is pure class and we were very lucky to get him. If he gets game time he won’t be with us in two years, it’s that simple for me
