I have to say, Luka was simply hopeless today. There was nothing he could do right. Yet somehow he's on set pieces? Is he really all we have in those situations? Please PV give it to anyone else.
Kouyate tries hard but has zero ball skills. He makes an effort though which I respect.
Forget Europe yet, we have made great progress but today showed the alarming gaps we still have in this team.
Just met some Danish fans in the Cherry Tree- I feel for them, they came over to see Joachim! Maybe next time!

We missed Andersen’s distribution a lot, he is pretty important in there as his passing is very good. Tomkins is a fine player but he is not a passer.

Villa were very solid defensively and letting them get that goal, from yet another corner, played perfectly into their game plan. Their time wasting was on another level too, absolutely insane amounts of fake injuries.

 


Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

As poor as the ref was it mattered little as we were simply dreadful. If I was Will Hughes watching that performance from Luka and I don't get some game time on Tuesday I would be asking to leave in January.

As much as Zaha was poor I didn't understand the substitution. He removed any type of width from the left hand side by subbing Zaha as Mitchell rarely takes people on and Edouard drifts infield...

Yes Benteke didn't get much service but the problem is he is slow, cumbersome and always 5 yards off the pace in the rest of his play. Could not understand keeping him on.

Villa we're not bad... Let's face it they hardly broke a sweat as we gave them nothing to worry about all game. We were due an off day and today was it. Everybody was poor. What's important is how we react on Tuesday.

 


Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

Largely the architects of our own downfall today.
What does Will Hughes have to do to get a game ??
PV picked the worst midfield combination available in Kouyate and Luka (who wasn't good enough 18 months ago).
It was though refreshing to see a him (unlike Roy) having the bottle to sub both Wilf and Luka.
Olise was disappointing (mostly looking to pass back rather than taking his man on) & along with Wilf offered little on either wing.
Gallagher was quiet though should have been allowed to play on when almost through in the second half when the referee pulled it back for our foul.
Why are we still playing a goalkeeper who cannot kick properly and instead continues to use this dreaded tippy tappy short passing out from the back which puts pressure on the defence and leaves the space so narrow on the wing when the final pass goes out there ?
It was again very unfortunate to have a 'referee' in his first premiership game clearly unwilling to give anything controversial against Villa's penalty diving and general cheating given that the new big name manager was on the bench.

If Gerrard thinks frustrating go slow fake injuries diving and generally cheating are the future of the game then heaven help the game. That game had little entertainment value due to frustrating Villa. Their keeper is a total cheat. Come on Gerrard, don’t kill football which is what you did today.

I believe in admitting when I’m wrong and owning the mistake. Today I need to make an admission about Luka.

He’s not good enough for this current palace team.

I’ve supported him passionately. You all know that. And I stilll believe he’s got quality. We’ve all seen it. But for whatever reason, it’s a distant memory.

I can’t defend him anymore. And apologies for trying to for so long.

He shouldn’t see much more game time for us now. Needs a fresh start somewhere else.

Cheers

Plus it was cold damp and horrible at Selhurst. We really miss McArthur and Anderson. Stayed to the end unlike 20% of our fans who missed our goal. Don’t blame them mind. Their cheating keeper bought at least three minutes with a total fake injury. That approach should be an instant red card. Even the red card they got was overturned. Worst game of the season for us.

At one point Villa had three players all rolling around faking injury. Burnley weren’t much better last week. This has got to stop. It ruins the game. Especially when 2 minutes later they are running around like nothings happened. Cheats.
