Some serious faffing about today. The manager has to be reading the riot act to the squad. In terms of like for like, we are no better off than after the same games last season.
Well rcl gets a reprieve (wonder if Sainsburys WHL will give me a refund if I return all the wicker bought in a human shape) .
Never figured Gomes out. I think he just goes missing, mentally. One minute he can pull off an unbelievable stop, the next he's letting the softest of shots through his legs....
As much as I'll miss Lamela's on-point cosplay of Vaas Montenegro we got in the lineup videos last season, I do like our goalscorer gifs...
Thought the team stared well bit then became too slow and deliberate. We deserved to win without playing well so that's not too bad a thing. Vorm had little to do but was calm and his distribution was good apart from one in the 2nd half. The defence were solid and pushed forward as well. Lamela was patchy but his corners were good, Eriksen was as poor in possession, tackling and passing as his corners today. Wanyama and Dier were decent and I was pleasantly surprised how much of the ball Wanyama wanted and received. Harold battled hard but Palace kept him quiet until his assist. Was very impressed with Jannsen (apart from his miss) ... had a very good game imo. Dele made a good impact when he came on. Apart from the goal the moment of the match was Danny Rose nutmeg ginger Townsend! Finally...what has happened to Zaha? He was a complete cock in the first half.
