Sorry but this is one of the silliest posts in this thread and there are some very silly posts here.

What you "feel" has no basis in reality. The fact that you are still trying to drag up an old championship manager I find laughable.

Freedman left because he didn't believe that his beloved Palace were as good as Bolton. He thought he was going to a bigger club with more money and his excuse was that "his family were in danger".. Knob.

I remember that even Speroni tweeted WTF when he heard that freedman was going.

Just like Pulis and Bruce and despite being a club legend he didn't want to be here. He just didn't believe in us as a club and where is he today? Right up knob street. I suspect you must be neighbours.

We are now in the Premiership and had, what, 6 coaches/managers in the dug out since then...

Dougie was a fool to himself, Trump is the president of the United States, Britain voted for Brexit and the world is in fact, a globe. There are some things you just need to accept and move on, even though it doesn't "feel" right.

For some reason im seeing the way dougie freeedman left us in a new light recently.

I feel it was more parish demanding a nicer way of playing football. and then tried with holloway and pardew.

That was exactly the point I was making!

On the other hand, our consistent inability to break down 'lesser' teams at home has been a problem for a couple of years.

We're already pretty good at taking points of bigger teams with our counter attacking style, we can't just rely on that though. We have to improve our home record, and make sure we put away those 'winnable' games on a more regular basis. That is what we're trying to change.

Not fixing what isn't broken applies as much to football as anything else. I see no point at all in changing our style simply because it happens to be the way our current manager either played, or prefers. FDB is clearly not a stupid guy so I doubt very much whether he plans to change things just for their own sake, or before we are capable of doing so. I therefore think last night might have been a little experimental. It certainly did not get the best out of Benteke. I suspect we might mix and match how we play, according to the opposition and whether we are at home or away. Being flexible and capable of adapting to changed circumstances would strengthen us, especially at home against the weaker sides. Playing fast counter attacking football away, and against the better sides at home, has worked well, both for us and the others in similar circumstances.
