Originally posted by PatrickA There’s much to admire in our play, but can anybody seriously see us keeping too many clean sheets? The amount of draws this season is not down just to bad luck, although it’s played a part. If we can’t keep clean sheets we’ll need to score at least two goals to win games. Ideally press the home the advantage which our play warrants and get two goals ahead. I thought Benteke played quite well today but, aside from the missed chances, he partially negates the effectiveness of Edouard (possibly our most natural finisher) by displacing him in the central role. We’ve dominated for long spells v Brighton, Arsenal and today but have 3 points to show for it. In the cold light of day we should be aiming for 6 points from these fixtures. you cant play Benteke and Eduoard in the same team, Eduoard wide loses his effectiveness, he is the future, Benteke is the past. I spent half my money on gambling, alcohol and wild women. The other half I wasted. WC Fields Here's to our wives and girlfriends...may they never meet!

Originally posted by MrRobbo More gutted after that than any other game this season. They were there for the taking, and whilst we went at our best we did enough to have won it. Although he looked pretty dangerous, (I think) literally all our chances fell to Benteke. Not sure if its wasteful finishing of if he did well, most likely the latter. I still don’t think Benteke works for us in this new system, just doesn’t move enough. But potentially another debate. One thing that will be interesting to get thoughts on is Olise vs Ayew. Olise looked great in the 2nd half when we had our tails up, but didn’t do much in the first half. Potentially instructions given to him, but he didn’t move from the line and didn’t really get involved too much. In recent games Ayew has been pretty involved in the press and holding the ball. Maybe he is more important that ppl give him credit for. For some reason many fans disrespect the work Ayew does, I think he is vital and today we missed him hugely, Benteke should've scored the through ball for the one on one and that would've seen Newcastle off, his other chances were dealt with through bad luck and good defending but he is massively improved, he was absolutely immense during a period after he scored in which he had the crowd gasping with excitement with a turn and a brilliant dummy, he is appearing as he once was.

Mathers 23 Oct 21 9.09pm
Of course the football, energy and attacking intent are the best we seen in years but it will all count for nothing if we are in a relegation scrap come the end of the season. Unfortunately we do not look capable of keeping clean sheets. Particularly from set pieces we look weak. This needs to be addressed as we’ve conceded at least half dozen goals from set pieces this season. Can we please bin off Luka. His lack of pace, needless fouls and insistence on taking set pieces is killing us. We have plenty of options in the squad not to carry players who are past their best.

rollercoaster Cornwall 23 Oct 21 9.10pm
So in summary, We now have two brilliant centrebacks who cannot defend corners. With a fully fit squad and 50 million pounds of new players, if Roy was still the manager we would be in the relegation zone. It doesn't matter what substitutes PV uses as long as he uses them and we can all complain about what Roy used to do. One win in 10 games this season shows just how brilliant we are playing. So, I apologise for that, but please can we just move on from Roy Hodgson and concentrate on what we have now. I am really worried that we cannot win when playing well. What will happen when performances slip a bit and when we get a few injuries. I'm a Palace fan and I remain worried about our chances this year.
