Well not only are Palace ****, they're going to tire early in the second half because all they've done is chase the ball. We've kept possession well. If only Fletch decided against attempting a flick (yet again) and just killed the ball, he'd had been in between the ball and his man in the six yard box and in position to turn and shoot or lay it off. Is it just me but is Larsson lazy as **** when we have possession? He doesn't look interested in getting forward. The Palace lads at the back are going to deal with deep crosses all day long, Larsson is no good where he loiters. We're way way way the better team and I think we're going to get more chances as they tire.
We were never going to score pumping deep crosses into the box. Pulis likes big basic old school defenders who deal with those sorts of deliveries. The ref was a disgrace
Infact the 31 fouls equates to a freekick just under every 3 minutes. He booked players on both sides for 1st time nothing fouls and failed to book repeat offenders. Jozy was fouled every time the ball was played to him and got nothing at all. Stop start games ruin football games and they tell us is that referees would rather fill in paperwork on a Saturday evening then **** their wives.
we're just a poor side which lacks any sort of cutting edge! If we cant perform and beat the pap sides at home then relegation beckons! Frustrated but not too upset! If we go down, then we certainly deserve it cos for the majority of the season we have been embarrassing! We dont seem to have the tactics or know how to win the games that we're expecting/hoping to get 3 points from! oh well....hey ho!!!!
I would have taken a draw this morning and i'll take it now Norwich Cardiff West brom And Swansea on the other hand
we performed in the 1st half, except for our strikers. Jozy is the best option up front for us imo, he might not score any but he does more to create chances for other players.
Never saw the match but BBC Sports page had us with 19 shots with only 2 on target, **** me, were they wearing blindfolds?
We could have lost, we need to move on, the argument about who is best between Fletch and Jozy looks irrelevant, we must have better options up front or we are down, no question.
Theres also home to west ham!!! But I can only see the same nervy drab affairs that have been the plagued us so far this season! We will do well to win two of those if the norm continues, which wont be enough! Really cant see a drastic change in our home performances! Too many MUST WIN games will continue to take its toll on the players nerves! Last two games of the season are at home to west brom and swansea! I only hope that at that stage we are still in with a shout!
May prove to be an alright point in the end...but seriously Larsson ahead of Colback, I just don't get that at all? I think Pullis's big centre halfs would have struggled much more against Borinni and Giacharini than an obviously unfit (uninterested) Fletcher and usual inept Altidore. Some shocking results against us as well, especially WBA and Fulham...going to be a long run in!
