You began to lose me when you announced Puncheon as the captain.

If you listen to FdBs after match interview, he mentions we created the chances but didn't finish them. HT finished theirs.

As I commented in the 'embarrassing' thread, the only thing embarrassing today were the so called 'supporters' today booing the new manager after one game. That is appalling and unacceptable, just like spoiled children who want everything without working for anything and expecting instant gratification. Yeah to be fair I didn't do that. I've reserved my anger for this forum which hopefully isn't as damaging! I don't need Palace to win or dominate all the time but I do feel concerned that this experiment might back fire. If we had signed a right wing back and maybe a stronger CB but still lost 3-0 I'd be a lot more tolerant. I just think it's a bit short sighted to force the players into a formation that doesn't match their strengths.

I should add another positive. Restricted view tickets meant I only saw Palace play like sh*te for about 80% of the game! I'm being jovial, don't gun me down!

Many bleat on how the HF get a mention all the time and bitch that there are other fans you know? Yes the type that turn on new players and managers 35 minutes into their first game. Give up chanting at the first sign of trouble and then bang on about our wonderful atmosphere when we're winning. At least the HF keep singing and jumping all game long.

Huddersfield wont have another easy game like that all season. I was worried 3 at the back would see us get hammered, due to the calibre of players we have. We cant play like that! We simply cant. Its all about getting points on the board, and a la last season, failed in our "easier" game. Look a little bit of me thinks that we needed this defeat in a strange way. DeBoer now knows this league is ruthless. He also now knows that 3 at the back, with Dann in the middle is bot the way forward. Mensah and Reidwalierd (spelling) did well to keep looking after Dann in my opinion. If we ever did sign Sakho, i dont think even he could play 3. I believe we need a 4 or 5 and if we did we would have a solid looking defense.

Fosu-Mensah and Tomkins definitely better than Ward and Riedewald. At the end of the season last term we had no defence to speak of between Sakho getting injured and Tomkins coming back. Hennesey What's so hard about that? Why must we keep dabbling in systems that don't suit our players? FFS. you think tomkins is better than riedewald? did you watch the same game?

Lots of kiddies posting on here who want instant gratification without supporting a team that is in the process of applying a new way of playing. Maybe I used a wrong word there, 'support'. Booing a manager after one game tells much about the poor quality of support that the club has unfortunately attracted in recent times, many attempting to freeload only when success has been achieved. Edited by europalace (12 Aug 2017 6.15pm) As bad as it was to watch at times ,you are spot on

Perhaps it was unwise of Frank to signpost his tactical approach so publicly in advance of the season. H'field knew exactly how we would play and adapted accordingly. By contrast, no one knew what tactics H'field would adopt. I doubt if anyone had done much research.

All we need is Sakho and a right wing back. Ideally also a striker and a goalie. Most of the players are good enough to play the system. Very impressed with Fosu Mensah and with Loftus Cheek. I have been thinking all along we are biding our time to buy Sakho for a £5m discount. I do wonder if we should just bite the bullet now though. Similarly with Callum Chambers. Those two would make all the difference. Used to be our left side was weak, now it's the right

Riedewald might be better with fewer headless chickens around him but he couldn't settle the defenders down and Tomkins isn't Sakho but he has more of that gravitas. If you have a wee look at the player ratings thread you'll see that I'm not the only one who thought Riedewald was poor today Edited by chateauferret (12 Aug 2017 9.42pm)
