Prob should have scored that, albeit Lino flagged offside but looked on. Hopefully Ngumoha is ok. Seemed to pull up
Generally palace strength is wide from the wing backs and sarr and going long so prob taken but if a risk that they won’t play through the midfield anyway where lfc don’t have the bodies. Albeit Endo can step up into midfield if needed with knowledge has 2 cb’s behind him so won’t leave huge gap if they do start playing through the middle.
Little bit lacking in ambition at this point. Only the 3 really going. Morrison on his own there with chiesa jogging to box and nothing at all coming behind. Good ball and run was ok but we do l9ok more interested in having bodies to cover than to go score.
Well that is a well worked goal but just done by bit of movement. Endo showing why he’s not a Cb as just followed the ball
Nyoni gets it wide and Chiesa runs towards him to overlap him leaving zero players in the box and kerkez standing there with no where to go. Just has to stay central and give defence something to worry about and a target for any kind of cross
So half time. Ramsay has done well. Generally strong and did the basics. Kerkez Generally fine as wing back. The 3.cbs did ok organised themsevles as 3 experienced players should be did their jobs when needed but for the goal they just drop off which is a classic Robertson sin. Gomez doing the usual stupid thing rather than hack it out and the ball drops and boom. All the good work undone. Again as a 3 you.question why Gomez is tracking a spare man Robertson is there for and where endo is. Midfield duo, tbh nyoni did ok compared to last tie where he was all over the place they are mostly staying so just doing their jobs. Rather than being too aggressive. The second goal is really down to being between both worlds and nyoni going to half press and then a couple passes and that channel is wide open Forwards, lacking support. Plenty of effort but living off scraps after first 10/15. Chiesa working well, Ngumoha showing his pace.at times.but also naivety. Morrison is more.of a 10.so got his reward nod but is showing also the inexperience. This game is already over. Its down to whether palace want an easy night from here or to humiliate us. Theres literally nothing on the bench to.come here. Kone Doherty for morrison. Figeroa for chiesa. Really nothing else. 0-2 isn't awful for experimenting with reserves and kids but this cup is gone.
Stay sharp and patient and Palace will have a real rare scoreline for the history books, 0-5 I’d say and a really unfair one for those youngsters involved
it’s awful to watch this and some of these kids might not get another chance on the back of it. This is on Slot. Awful set up.
I wouldn't go that far. Its a basic 343. Mr Ramsay is in the shop.window here. We are only getting him.fit as hes not worth a foreign slot and we will want to get him away this January. Theres a general lack of ambition in going and they settled into a defensive shape until the usual mistakes and palace figured the space inevitablely would start to come against an increasingly passive side. They started well with going and pressing but dropped off. I didn't hear slot demanding they did any more on the sideline once. Ngumoha and chiesa were unsupported by either wing back after 25mins. Morrison is never making it anyway. Hes there for a good couple of u19 appearances but hes never going to be a star. The bench has nothing on it. Theres 3 youth cbs on it folks. Just send on kone Doherty to run I guess but seriously if you are on your own against real senior players you'll do well just to get the ball. I hope palace do settle cos they have to play 2 a week as well and this tie is over if they knock it about.
