Palace (a) post match thread

[vlahka]

I'm not going to say I want Rodgers gone, but if after January he's still automatically choosing Gerrard, Johnson, Lovren, and Balotelli as automatic starters ( you know balotelli would of started if his ankle wasnt injured), then he can go elsewhere. Those 4 are my biggest issues. A few others need replacing like Skrtel and Mignolet, but thats a different story. I can suffer those two this season, just not the other 4.

[Lecter]

Our midfield wasn't great last season and our defence has been made worse with the addition of Lovren. Suarez and Sturridge were the top two scorers in the league, that's why we finnished second.

50+ replaced by at max 15

Its more than just that

We dont create chances, we dont press the ball, we dont have players attacking with pace

Its all too nice, too slow and all played in front of teams

Rafa was criticised heavily for this but at least he had a defence and a ball winning midfield

[Muddled]

Seeing Colin ******'s face when the third went in boiled my piss sssooo much. But then, when I thought about Crystal Palace and how they set up, it wasn't a tactical masterclass from Colin, he just pressurised the ball, defended deep and then launched it long into the corners for two fast ****ing gazelles to chase after.

Our downfall is us.

I want Kolo!! Granted when he makes a howler it's a real howler but they dont happen that often and he's got far more character and bollocks than the current two put together (and his Madrid and Swansea performances were better than any they've put it too). Judging by some of the Rodgers quotes coming out he sounds really down and admits it's all on him so hopefully he finally makes a few changes. It's a shame the ref didnt get the red card out for Skrtel but then we'd probably just bring Enrique in and put Johnson at centre back.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

I think they are both equally as bad

Both offer nothing at either end of the pitch

I actually think Allen tried to link play which I assume is his role, not saying he was great but in my eyes he was a level or 2 above Gerrard and Coutinho in the middle of the park.

[Maxiedge]

To pick out Allen after that game is laughable. We have so many other glaring issues. Skrtel is such a liability, it's beyond a joke now. Mignolet the same but we have no replacement.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Gerrard out for Lucas/Can/Henderson

Lovren out for Toure/Sakho

Johnson out for Moreno

I think that improves us immediately

Funny thing is there is an argument Skrtel was our best CB today which is ****ing ridiculous.

[G]

Agreed. Mignolet, Lovren, Skrtel,Johnson and Gerrard all need shoeing. Allen did **** all wrong today surrounded by meffs.

[Phoenix07]

Brad Jones falling asleep during the game was the highlight aside from Lambert's goal.

Its more than just that

We dont create chances, we dont press the ball, we dont have platers attacking with pace

Its all too nice, too slow and all played in front of teams

Rafa was criticised heavily for this but at least he had a defence and a ball winning midfield

Which was mostly down to Suarez and Sturridge.

Glad we agree

[Leyton388]

We are ****e. Proper ****e and have wasted a fortune in doing so. We sign players who turn into world class and sell them then waste the money on ****e. We appear to be a big club wit a small club mentality. The club has been infested with mediocrity for 20+ years.

Torres, alonso, suarez, mash. To name a few we sold in the past when we should have kept them and kicked on. But no we sell them and replace them with proven ****e on massive contracts.

[ChesterDave]

We had Suarez and Sturridge, massive difference.

Sturridge is still there this year. The poor performances this year are to do with players being off their game. Suarez is obviously missed but he is far from the only comment

[G]

And give Valdes whatever assurances he ****ing wants. His presence alone would lift the team.
