Spot on really

Exactly as it was from late December through to early Feburary. It's the same mistakes again and again. Nobody expects perfection but the way we repeat the same errors is ****ing galling. Not just the defence I'm talking about on that front.

[Leyton388]

When the pressure is on we bottle it as soon as top fours gone watch the swagger come back when the pressures off.

You need a strong centre forward to win this league. We play nicely against the better teams but come up short time and again when we play the lesser teams. Utd have never been afraid to go long when required even under fergie. Chelsea have had Drogba and now Costa. We had both Carroll and benteke but never played to their strengths. Like arsenal we play well when teams let us but get badly bullied when we play the rubbish teams. Why can't we mix it up more? Both Rodgers and Klopp and Pep and Arsene refuse to change their approach. It's to their detriment in my opinion. It's like it's too common to go long occasionally and fight for the ball. Too bloody arrogant at times. I'm not advocating playing like Wimbledon before some dickhead pipes up. But you need to get rough and mix it up. Then when the battle is won, you outplay the *******s.

What a club

[Leyton388]

What a club

It used to be.

[Daffy Duck]

I probably have an ulcer from this ****, serious burn in my stomach.

Bottlers, from players to management.

I thought Palace were poor today. It's just we were a whole new dimension of ****e

[Lecter]

Every one apart from Coutinho can hang their head in shame. Bottlers

Terrible performance from the other 9 outfield players

[Roboklopp]

Don't think it would have changed much. They're a right bunch of bottlers.

By that logical extension we might as well not bother buying anyone new then.

[baitman]

No matter how well some of our players pressuresd to win the ball we did our very best to give it back to palace as fast and often as possible.

[Venton]

Well that was a bad performance really, no way around it. Palace were no great shakes but we lost our shape badly in the second half and went to pieces. Origi should always be an impact sub when the opposition defence is tired, otherwise he's all over the place. Lovren had a few brainfarts today, god knows what got into him. Can didn't cover himself in glory for their second, leaving Benteke to run through. Cline can get up and down the pitch but he can't take on a man and his delivery is poor.

I still think we'd have won if Lovren hadn't gone mental though.

For those of you feeling sorry for yourself I went to a local pub with a mate who's a United fan, watched them win, bet him £5 City would beat Arsenal whilst watching us lose in front of him and a pub heaving with singing Palace supporters. Grim business.

You never know though. If we can win the rest of our matches we've got a chance, a draw between Utd and City would do us and they all have some tasty run-ins.

Not long back from the game. **** me, words fail me. That was really ****ing bad, I won't be rushing to watch them again anytime soon. Best part of £200 spent today, feel absolutely gutted for the overseas fans who travel to watch that ****e. I don't know how the club is going to move forward and I'm unsure whether I have the faith in Klopp to deliver. Appreciate the bulk of that horse**** aren't his purchases and he needs to bring in his own lads but some of that squad are bottlers. Moreno backing out of that tackle at the end, absolute ****house. Scary to watch at times, ponderous backwards football. Anyway rant over. Fed up to **** with it all now.
