A pessimist or an optimist with experience of following the Palace fo well over 50 years .... been there and seen it so many times, l do so hope that I am wrong as I believe Roy is an honourable man who deserves more. And this is why I stay off these forums. Too many whinging and miserable fans who think we'll be relegated. Seems like positivity is banned on here and miserable negativity is accepted.

I worry that with City winning the league next week, the top six teams will have little to play for the rest of the way, and will probably not be as difficult to get points off of. City still has to play Swansea, West Ham, Huddersfield, and Southampton. I'd rather play City on the last day of the season than play City earlier in the year like we did.
Once City get passed Liverpool in the CL, they will blast all those teams around us. To think we took a point of City and should have beaten them and the fact we were better than city on the day, seems to have been forgotten on here.

Don't worry the "Men in Black" will try their hardest to make these type of results not happen, like us on Saturday with a sending off and Stoke with pens yesterday.

Can't agree with that at all. Benteke is the most obvious candidate, but our problem this season isn't just him missing chances or WH not making saves, too many of our experienced players aren't doing their jobs. Tomkins has been excellent for most of the year, and Wilf has been sublime, with a couple of quieter games thrown in. Cabaye has been generally good when fit, and since coming back into the team PVA has been one of our better players. If you really look hard, outside of that we're not living up to the billing. Townsend has been generally poor this season without many people commenting. Sakho has had a couple of shockers, even at Huddersfield he nearly gifted them a goal, and considering the amount of minutes he's played he is nowhere near justifying his fee. When he was fit Dann wasn't playing particularly well. I suspect many will disagree, but I think Luka is prone to some horrendous lapses in concentration. He's still one of our better players, but every game there seems to be a couple of howlers in there as well. Then we're into players like McArthur, Kelly, Schlupp who give you everything, but when the so called 'better' players in the team aren't pulling their weight, their weaknesses are exposed. If we go down Benteke will get all the blame, but there are plenty of other players in there who aren't living up to their reputations. Are you taking piss saying Townsend has been poor.

Enjoyed the game, enjoyed the fight, but Patrick was caught out in no mans land consistently. His worst game for some time. He has been much better than this before. Fear factor may have come into play. Great team efffort otherwise. Mamado at fault for winner. Don’t go to ground. Simple as that.

I think you get to over analyse watching in ultra high HD from afar with numerous replays etc. Live on the day at Selhurst the team played well as a whole and were very unlucky not to nick the points. I don’t need to look into it any further than that because there were much bigger points in the game that cost us than PVA or Sakho being off their game. They weren’t the things the fans in the stand had the hump about on Saturday. So I’d Say that you’re hunting for throats to choke. Fact is that Liverpool’s rampant attack were kept rather quiet by the team. We did beat ourselves on the weekend, but it wasn’t at the end of the pitch that Sakho and PVA play that we beat ourselves. It was up front where we missed he gilt edged opportunities to score more than Liverpool. That and the ref not sending their goalkeeper off for completely taking Zaha out and Mane for the obstruction of our players being two ion one with their keeper with both of his hands.

Not really I watched it once and tbf he wasn’t at fault for the goals in my opinion. The cross for the second wasn’t his fault and their first came from the right. I switch off the replays and analysis as the pundits don’t often say much different to what you and I or anyone else might share as an opinion in any case. Edit: I do agree from tv angles and from the vantage point how much easier it is to see whether a player is positionally sound. PVA wasn’t for me. Edited by pstrutt (02 Apr 2018 1.39pm)

We are a bit like Liverpool a few years ago, a really solid first 11 but the depth in the squad just isnt there. Our first 11 could beat anyone but its been so long since we had our first 11 available. This is a team that can and will stay up, we have a good combo of grit and class in the team. We have enough flex in the team to adapt to anyone. We have leaders and warriors in the squad and we have players that opposition are geniunly scared of. We willhave stay up. We have 6 highly winnable matches coming up and I think we are capable of beating all 6 of them. We are staying up, its just a matter of how many we do it by...

If we play the next six games in the same manner and with the same commitment as the last six games and all of the teams around us do the same then we will be fine. Stoke capitulated against Arsenal, Shaqiri publicly stated that the players at Stoke are just not good enough before the game - where is the togetherness that they must have? Southampton are in all kinds of trouble........their fixtures are: Arsenal, Chelsea, Leicester, Burnley, Everton, Man City and Swansea. Huddersfield huff and puff and have not given up but they are not looking good and have Chelsea, Everton, Man City and Arsenal as their last 4 games Huddersfield (and Brighton) have a huge game coming up that both have to win in that Brighton then only play us before matches against the top 4 and Burnley (7th). The bottom sides are down the bottom for a reason. We are down there because we gave the rest of the league an 8 game head start. Finally.......Stoke's next game is against Tottenham, Southampton is against Arsenal, West Ham v Chelsea and we have Bournemouth. Okay - anything can happen and we shouldn't count chickens etc but....................were West Ham, Huddersfield and us win our next games and Stoke and Southampton lose then we are 5 points clear and Southampton would have Chelsea to play next.
