**** sake. We need some creativity badly, 3 at the back isn't working with this midfield, none of them get forward enough so we end up with two strikers badly isolated. We need to go back to 4 at the back and sign a full back - either side, Rosie is good enough both but Figueroa is badly out of form and Dudgeon seems to be made of biscuit unfortunately because he's a good player. Even if it's Quinny or Boyd on the left until Brady/Aluko are back it gives us that width and a bit more energy in midfield.
I hope the club offer a refund for all te poor souls who have been robbed blind getting fooled to travel all that way and spend all that cash to watch that absolute crock of total ****.
Ah well - At least Huddlestone kept a clean sheet after his stint in goal. Great for after training 3 and you're in.
Bruce really needs to rethink his formation and tactics because this is CLEARLY not working. Another 1 nill win for Palace shows that Pulis is getting it right.
Starting with Bruce and McShane FFS Without Aluko and Brady we have nothing. Elmohamady's crossing is utterly abysmal.
We really are poor. We have to stop this 532. The aim is to offer wing backs going forward. It does not work at the moment. We need a plan B long showed some promise. Jelavic missed chances. We need something - hopefully there is an opportunity to look to shape the squad a little further come Friday - maybe shift someone out to get another in?
We are in it now, we need to dominate games more get thudd on the ball further up the pitch and a midfielder behind the front 2. If we don't we'll never see the best of thudd and jelavic will never score because he needs us to play in and around the box not rely on long balls.
