Originally posted by pompeyeagle I get where the OP is coming from. I didn’t watch it because I can’t stand the way we play. Our style of play is dull, dull, dull. Is that what fans really want? We sign new players and Roy won’t play them. The chances are Mateta will never start a game. What kind of message does that send out to any potential signings? You didn't watch it. Therefore you are not a fan or a supporter. Your opinion is worthless if you didn't watch it. The chances are that Mateta will start a game, we bought him. He signed, so that is the message he got. He just needs to integrate into the squad. Or, in the "Roy Out" tradition, be ruined by that dinosaur like all our other players. Systematically dragged down by the lawmakers

I hope Mateta is a raging success for us, but I'm amazed at how many people are demanding his immediate inclusion when we've literally never seen him play, as if Benteke, Batshuyi and Ayew have not a single, solitary positive attribute, as if (joking aside) they're pretending to be footballers and we've just rumbled them and this scandal must be corrected this very second. Actually, our existing forwards are proven to be of a certain standard. Not amazing, not something we can't improve on, and not something the new man can't aim to overtake, but not nothing either. That is the 'Roy out' mindset all over. Demanding change for its own sake immediately as if we've nothing to lose, when we absolutely have got everything to lose. We were one up against a good team today in a very tight game, had lost one player to injury and used another sub for fresh legs. It wasn't the time to ask an unknown quantity to step into the unknown, whatever our hopes for him might ultimately be. Edited by TheBigToePunt (30 Jan 2021 11.09pm)

Haha exactly. The same rhetoric was spewed when Eze transfer was finalised and he’s a first team regular. Next they’ll be blaming Roy for not starting Ferguson... As the poster above said, we have three competent strikers Mateta has to get past first, he can’t just walk into the team. Ayew has been lively over the last two games

I'm as critical as anyone on the way Palace have been playing. However I thought we put in a professional and quite decent performance today. Our passing was a notch up from usual, I thought we defended well in the main, and we kept a clean sheet. The one area of concern was creating chances - something we did virtually nothing of in the first half, but did marginally improve on in the 2nd. But that's nothing new.

Originally posted by glaziermart I'm sorry, but although we won, that was turgid and dull and all the time we were 1-0 up, Mateta was never going to get his debut. In fact it was not working all the time Batshyuai was on the pitch, yet unless we were losing, Roy was never going to sub him. He did after we went in the lead, but only brought Townsend to shore up the game. It was still beyond dull. Mateta will only end up making a few appearances from the bench this season if he is lucky. We are treading water under Hodgson. I forgive you. Edited by Tickled pink (30 Jan 2021 11.41pm)

Originally posted by southnorwoodhill We didn't create much, two shots on target, but the goal was decent, good work by Ayew again. If Zaha could maintain some level of calm in front of goal instead of slash wildly then it would and should have been two. Nevertheless a clean sheet and a win, a confidence booster. Has Hodgson learnt anything from it? Surely Benteke should never pull on the Palace shirt again and Bats should return to Chelsea now we have Mateta. Having a player who can actually pass to his own teammates consistently is surely an essential when trying to create and manage a game. Will Hodgson start Reidewald now? The next game should tell us all we need to know. So you would get rid of 2 out of 4 strikers! That’s good thinking. Totally agree about Jairo have been saying this for some time

Assuming we are talking about the seasons 1974/5 to 1976/7, which I recall as being a good time to be a Palace fan. We were always challenging - we finished 5th, 5th and 3rd - we were laying down the foundations of a half-decent side, we remained "headline news" throughout under Malcolm Allison and Terry Venables - always on the back pages of the papers - we reached the semi-final of the FA Cup in the days when all clubs fielded their strongest teams and we won the FA Youth Cup (and then again in 1977/8 following promotion to division 2).
