Townsend plays the same position as Salah does, but has scored twice in 31 games. Nobody is beating him with a stick for his poor return for a striker?


Another person who clearly doesn't watch the games.

Townsend work rate is very high but most of it is defending

Agreed and both goals came from our right back position where Wilf would have been defending. Andros has done a great job helping Obi Wan settle in.

 


Enjoying getting up later and not having someone who knows better than me (apart from the missus of course).

I watch all the games, not questioning his defending or work rate. He just doesn't get in goal scoring positions for a striker, doesn't cross the ball, but does that cut inside which everyone knows he is going to do.

You don't seem to know where AWB plays, its right back where both the goals came from, so Townsend isn't doing such a great job defending!

Forgetting penalties our top scorer (Zaha) is on 4 goals, then jimmy and Sako on 3.
Has any team ever stayed up with less goals from open play?
Sako has only started a few games.
Amazing that we aren’t properly f*cked already.

Are you sure you watch the games and if you do not sure you understand the sport.

Townsend is not a striker and to even compare him to Salah shows you do not have a clue (Salah plays role like Messi does he drifts around)

At times he crosses but favors coming inside or playing through balls this is tactics (when SA was in charge he changed this so we was putting in lot more high crossed balls for Benteke Roy has gone different direction)

Watch it again they both start from left side with balls coming in then it's knocked into the center so it's nothing to do with Townsend at all.

You could say it's Wilfs fault his defending was awful all game on that side not blocking out crosses

Liverpool's first goal came when Townsend mispassed to Zaha (both on left flank), Liverpool broke with the Eagles pressing forwards. That is usually the case when playing top teams - they don't score when we're defending in numbers, but if we have a go and f...k up.

Worst thing about Sørloths injury is that Benteke will continue to play.

That's it Roys got to pick Benteke due to injuries to Sorloth, and others. But how many chance's is going to come his way to score he's missing every one that comes along.

He may have won the header leading up to the penalty, and getting back in defence clearing crosses and free kicks away from goal.

It's all good doing that, but that's not his job he's getting paid alot of money to score goals and winning matche's, that's what us fan's and club expect and rely on him to do but it's not happening that's why he's getting slayted every weekend match after match.

And that's why we're in this religation dogfight, all rest of team are running their rock's off creating chances for him to score well not just him but he's been on the end of every one that's either gone wide or row z not making the keeper work for his money.

I say it every time i hope he proves me wrong and contributes to winning a game of football that's what all the fan's and club want end of the day every weekend.

Fast becoming one of the worse Palace strikers ever!

In hindsight, he now makes Akinbiyi look like value for money ...
