Crystal Palace vs. Tottenham match thread

[DenTyler]

I hate to say it but I just don’t see a way back. We have lost the solid back and nobody seems like scoring, there just looks like nothing is there at all, like they are all f***ed. They can’t possibly be that tired, they are professional athletes FFS.

And to top it off, this is one of the worst Spurs teams I have ever seen. Shocking but what does that say about us.

As the other poster said… December can f*** off

Is pino still on?????

 

[grumpymort]

We are.

There’s a lack of quality, effort and desire.

It’s shockingly bad and I’m surprised Glasner has allowed this to happen. Has he stopped caring too?

He doesn't have time to work with them anymore this is the problem he has even said this they spend at most 30min training the rest is all recovery.

Positive is its come at a good time we can go in at half time and things can be said and changed.

We do have some attacking options

Yello Willo

1000 monkeys 1000 typewriters...

I think many more monkeys and quite a few additional typewriters would be needed

Then he needs to change what he is doing. Right now we are defensively poor, lacking physicality and look tired. So he’s not preparing us either physically or tactically

 

[PalazioVecchio]

we call him Yellow Willo !!!!

 

[Davepalace707]

Missing our chances is getting really really tedious. Sell Mateta and get someone in who can hit the target. FFS

Another totally ineffective half from him. I know players need time to adapt etc but he’s been pretty awful all season so far. Looks like a poor signing so far. Hopefully he can turn it around

He can't do anything.

Go and learn about sports science etc and how it works.

We are playing too many games in short period of time it's all about recovery.

The issue is the limited squad which is not on the manager

Utilising the squad players is surely always better than just over working and buggering the first team, but then using them relentlessly anyway.

We just need to weather this bad run and get back to basics.

Nketiah and uche to come on and and give us a lift?

 

[VinceHilaire]

Pino is having a nightmare - needs to be taken off - he is a weak link

 

[PalazioVecchio]

we saw it at Arsenal..........Glasner can make dramatic improvements at half time.

 

[redshift]

It's halftime so maybe Ollie can take the entire team together on the pitch and show them the net and that it's only 8' high so kicking the ball at the second tier in the stands is not going to put it into the net.

saved by VAR 😉

The way I look at it we were let down by a useless lino

 

[park the bus]

I have a theory, a passing thought, that Uche never starts because the club doesn't want to meet the terms of his loan, and he's just here to fill in the gap in the meantime. Kind of explains why OG picks Mateta (injured allegedly) over Uche but perhaps doesn't explain why Mateta always starts ahead of £25m star buy Eddie Nketiah. I wonder what he makes of it, and is our forward line so truly woeful?

I was looking at Pardew's record, and it wasn't that bad, in fact if he'd avoided that wanky dad dance and instead concentrated on getting instructions out to his team and maybe some time wasting subs then history could gave been very different. However, Glasner took it all the way, everything fell into place at the right time for him, the players, and the club, but now that the wheels are coming off the cart he struggles to adapt. Mateta is a donkey, an overworked one, yet Glasner persists without variation. Now given that Nketiah is not very good and Uche never starts where does a goal come from?
I was thinking that currently we are on a par with sides of previous managers.

 

[PalazioVecchio]

Pino is having a nightmare - needs to be taken off - he is a weak link

agreed. He is almost invisible on the pitch.

 

[wilelliott88]

This is crying out for someone with a bit of pace....Esse?

I agree the limited squad is an issue but that isn’t an excuse for not being able to defend set pieces.
