Snods was a shocking dive. As was Zaha. from where i was that one at the end where Dawson pulled Benteke down at the corner was a real get out of jailer. Looked a nailed on pen to me.
I'll get lambasted but its an observation. haven't seen the game other than clip, but Marshall, on his arse before Benteke takes the penalty, beaten at his near post no matter how good a strike and running backwards as Campbell scores.
They'll have still shown it probably. Only very rarely do they show something else. It always tends to be the game involving the "biggest" side.
Phelan should have used his subs wisely when we went 3 2 up. Myler should have been on to shore up a tired mid field. Palace used all 3 of theirs to good effect. Phelan waits until injury time before changing.
if you go back, someone suggested delaney would definitely score and i made the schoolboy error of suggesting campbell would.
Some shocking bleating from the wavy davy brigade down Croydon way re Snodgrass. Self-righteous indignant thin-skinned cockney whingers reminiscent of DQPR.
Ordinarily I'd call hell out of a player for diving, whether they're ours or theirs, but Palace over the years have been top of the tree for 'gamesmanship' so I'm actually glad it happened to a club like that. Pardew being the manager puts the icing on the cake. ****'em.
Can remember Zaha and Bolasie getting shot by invisible snipers in front of the E stand at some night game a few years back. Dreadful club whose fans know how to manipulate a credulous media.
I'm not a Marshall hater..... however to think when he joined he waltzed into the team - the Jak had done nothing wrong to lose his spot. It doesn't seem like the Jak is getting treated in the same way - he deserves a chance to see if some of his shot stopping can get us a few extra points....
"They couldn't cope with him (Zaha)". What was Pardew watching? First half, Zaha had a 'mare against Robertson.
And not a mention of Diomande's goal. If that had been Sanchez Wright would have been tossing himself off.
No mention of anything good we did. All very concerned that Alan Pardew under pressure so needs some luck. Whereas of course we aren't under pressure at all. Totally London biased analysis.
