Match Day Thread Crystal Palace v Southampton, 12th September, 3pm, BT Sport

Romeus fault

 

Way too casual.

 

That's poor from romeu

 

That was a poor goal to concede.

 

Shouldn’t have even been played to Romeu. We should have put the free kick into the box instead of fannying around

 

V poor

 

Ralph out. Lampard in.

 

Good first five but they look much more dangerous now.

 

Pretty undeserved, but one mistake Costs you a goal in this league.

 

First time I have heard Ches name

 

Poor from Romeu yes but questionable marking as well - 2 forwards in the box and 2 CBs, they should have stuck man for man and let Romeu stay with Townsend.

 

Very poor ATM

 

Ayew in contention for the most offside shot of all time.

 

Ponderous

 

Not very inspiring at the moment.
No quick passing movements which always tends to expose our lack of individual flair.
Not criticising Smallbone, although he isn’t involved much, but we are missing Armstrong’s influence.

 

We are better than this.

 

I blame Guly

 

Is Smallbone actually playing? Barely been involved for the first 30

 

Palace being very clever and playing like an away side, don't look like breaking them down at the minute.

Doing well to not let Ings have more than one touch near the box.

 

I’m not unduly worried yet. Remember it took a whole half against Norwich until the energy levels rose to the required levels.
