Dier, Sanchez and Gazza (for the save) are the only ones who look up for this. Kane ain't fit. Eriksen and Son offering next to nothing. Rose and Aurier need to be taken to 'Trippier's School of Crossing Excellence'. All to be expected I suppose after Wednesday's heroics. Palace and Woy can get ****ed though with their negative tactics. ****ing hate teams like this.
In Aurier's defence, he's had little useful support down that flank. Rose has had Verts and Son - Aurier has had Sissoko.....
And this game demonstrates why we will NEVER win the league. We just can not grind out wins in games like this. They all believe they've made it cos of the Liverpool match and Real matches. Palace are being to made to look like tough opponents cos none of the team can be arsed Townsend to score with an assist from Zaha all you happy clappy mo fos know it's true...we do not win London Derbies at wembley Pochettino is a clown...why else would he play a DoF out wide?
I also actually think I'm to blame. Only the 6th home game I'm missing in about 12 years. To show that the footballing gods weren't happy with me, the local pub of where I am in Devon at the moment decided not to open on the day where there's an abundance of football on. So yeah, sorry guys and gals.
It’s the only answer a lot of teams have against us, otherwise they risk getting battered. Everyone saw Burnley, Swansea and Chelsea do it successfully, now they are all at it.
I think today is more down to individual players simply not being up for it or not fit than the 'system' per se. Rose clearly not fully fit, Kane & Winks look exhausted from Wed night and Son, Eriksen and Aurier look like they'd rather be curled up on a couch somewhere with a hot cocoa. The problem is there is nothing on the bench to improve things up top. Dann and Sakho would relish playing against a Llorente-type player. I'd hook Aurier and bring on Trippier, and probably Dembele for Sissoko early on (although the latter hasn't done too badly).
Wish I'd stayed in bed. Terrible game Terrible atmosphere. Nobody prepared to sing. I swear my daughter fell asleep at 30 minutes. We'd better ****ing win as I've got to live with Palace fans in deepest South East London, let alone traveling home with them. COYS.
As I said the other day, Palace are awkward for us, and a 1-0 like the previous two meetings is ok for me. However, yet again I see no signs that the squad are doing drill training for beating the parked bus.
We just havent moved the ball quick enough, passes are slow and taking too long to get to where they should be. Credit to Palace who have closed us down brilliantly, hopefully they will start to tire in the second half. Dier has been magnificent. Son has been awful and needs a quick up the arse.
Alex Maynard: Don’t understand the hype about Harry Winks. Looks like he can only pass sideways. (Tweet to BBC Football Live) Based on today's ****ty game against a side that has 11 men parked in their own 18 yard box ffs! Do these idiots engage their brains before they write this crap?
Yes, I am wondering if that was a jinxing wum too far! Previously, I have always assumed that the God of Jinx knew that I was remorselessly wumming and so let my comments go!
