Match Day Thread Crystal Palace vs Southampton 03/12/2016 KO 3pm

[Schad]

We have two points to our name all year when the opposition scores first: the home draws against Watford and Sunderland in August. A come-from-behind team we aren't.

Been saying for a while that the Forsterbshould be a cause for concern. He's looks shaky very often and only looks good because he barely has anything to do.

Utter bollox

 

[CowtownKiwi]

One word. Pathetic!

 

[Toss saints]

One positive, my opponent had Foster in goal for the fantasy league

 

[Mr_Saintly]

How many times can we say bad day at the office? There's no excuse to be consistently dropping points to teams at the bottom of the league. It's a serious problem.

There's also no excuse not to sign a striker in January as well, the fixture pile up isn't going away.

 

[Le Saint]

Why is there any criticism of Boufal here? He was excellent throughout, I thought. Worked hard too.

Oh well, I can focus on some xbox time tonight rather than watch that footy show.

Totally agree. He's been our best player in an awful team performance today and let's remember he's returning from 5 months out - 5 months people!

 

[viking saint]

I won't. This is a ****e team we are playing with an egotistical **** for a manager. We have been disgracefully bad. The defending has been laughable.

Grow up, its a game of football

 

[craig222]

Well for everyone that was willing to sacrifice this game for the Europa League one on Thursday, the sacrifice has been made (wasn't expecting it to be with arguably our best 11 though).

 

[Le Tissier's Laces]

Haha, the "how **** must you be, we're winning at home" chant from the Palace fans has tickled me.

 

[Shepherd's Clearing]

Hmm, score two goals past us and you've won, we've one goal or no goals in this team, nothing else it seems.

 

[Libby]

Well, at least the miserable neggie's will be happy tonight. Plenty for them to get their teeth into.

Here comes pages of the positive v negative debate




I'm off to play with the boy for a couple of hours... be on later.

That's not a dig at you mate btw

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Great singing from the Palace fans, "how **** must you be, we're winning at home!"

 

[Puck]

We've defended poorly today and that's a little embarrassing but **** happens. The defence have generally been good this season. What concerns me is the continued lack of goals. When we went 2 down I wonder how many of the players genuinely believed we could score 3? It's the same problem time after time against these Palace and Hull type sides. What we're doing as an attacking force is clearly not working and Puel needs to change something.

I pay good money to watch this team. I am more often than not happy. Today has been a disgrace.

Plus - it's happened far too much this season. That's what irks me the most.

 

[Beef]

I ****ing hate Pardew

 

[Ronnie Hotdog (MLsfc)]

Well, at least the miserable neggie's will be happy tonight. Plenty for them to get their teeth into.

Don't think anybody wants saints to fail. Some are just more pessimistic than others! Would be dull if everyone had the same opinion.

SaintsWeb say hi!

 

[Saints_Alive]

This is the worst Saints display since the cup debacle at Sheffield United a couple of years ago, poor defensively tepid in midfield, toothless up top and lacking commitment from the start. Palace were there for the taking, just like Hull were, but we just didn't control the game like we do at SMS. It's easy to blame Fraser, but nobody comes away with any credit IMO.

 

[West Kent Saint]

Awful. Gave palace everything they needed. We seem to find it impossible to recover from certain situations.

 

[It’s Only A Game]

Been saying for a while that the Forsterbshould be a cause for concern. He's looks shaky very often and only looks good because he barely has anything to do.

I did mention this some time ago but got shouted down. I won't go over again what I think his faults are but he's not the "wall" he's made out to be.
