If somebody offered 22pts from 17 on the opening day I'd have said thank you very much. Although some of the performances have been poor the constant criticism of team selection for individual games and making excuses for the opposition whenever we win is painful. Premier League football is a squad game and becomes even more acute to manage with ours. Edited by Rachid Rachid Rachid (02 Jan 2021 7.50pm)

Indeed they are not, but I said "The bulls*** stats continually posted, selectively". All stats are just that. Stats. The only ones that matter are the points we have. All other chosen stats about how many clean sheets, goals scored, games won/lost, offsides by strikers, points per game, etc., are pure fluff. None of them matter if we have more points accrued than games played. Which we have. You don't sack a manager because he achieves the target asked. Which Roy has done, and is on course to do again. Just because you, and many others, think we should be top 10 on a regular basis is neither here nor there. Post any stats you like, but unless it looks like we will be relegated, Roy will be here until he wishes to retire. Well there is a complete lie. I have never said I expect us to be top 10, let alone on a regular basis so why would you say that? Find one post from me that says that and I will apologise. Otherwise keep your posts truthful.

Or is that unimportant, as I included you with other posters?

Nothing wrong with your post, it’s just a bit off to argue against facts. They are irrefutable. What I will admit is that you can find stats to show great Palace form for some periods under Roy, however you can also easily point to numerous periods of appalling play, and I currently think the latter outweigh the former.

The stats at the moment show that we have 22 points, so far, before the second half of the season. That is the only stat that matters. Appalling play or not. It matters not what you think might happen, as there is proof that we have never been in the relegation zone whilst Roy has been our manager. You may disagree with the team selection, substitutions, acquisition of players, age of squad, or anything you like, but the reality is that we have more than enough points at this stage of the season to not sack the manager.

Great win today, even against the last place team in the league. Someone will drop points to Sheffield this season, and it's not us so far. Huge 3 points for us. The positive side is 22 points from 17 games is pretty good. To present the negative side...If the teams below us win their games in hand, we would be in 16th or even 17th place, which is not good. Arguably, we have our strongest squad in the history of Palace. So expectations are that we would be comfortably out of the relegation scrap, and I don't think we are comfortable yet. Also, given the constant rumors of Zaha leaving, it still feels as if we are a one man club. That is concerning to me. It's also concerning that Eze has been benched the past two matches. Based on what we've seen, I think it's fair to question why Roy doesn't want Eze in our starting 11. It feels like our roster is much deeper and much improved over last year, but our results are not better than last year. So it makes me wonder if we trending in the right direction for the club. I think we'll stay up, but I think we should be in the 10-12 range rather than 14-16.

22 points halfway (presume 2 losses vs Man City and Arsenal, but who knows?), is a job well done so far.
