Crystal Palace vs. Tottenham match thread

[DenTyler]

Well, that was that.

 

[Nicholas91]

I haven’t had this little faith in a Palace side for a while.

 

[Spindle]

It's not a cracker so far.

Nope, we missed-all-toes of Sarr and Munoz for a start.

 

[Hannes]

Squad depleted and tired, metally and physically. We show ambition but that's not enough.Was on the cards even at the start of the season after the transfer window. Hopefully we can keep this slump short. Happy New Year!

 

[Foxy82]

On the subs
Nketiah, looked ok for about 5 mins, then shite
Uche, shite
Esse, shite
Overall team performance, shite

 

[Spindle]

Not sure how much longer I can console myself that its ok… we won the FA cup.

We have been rank shite the last few weeks.

If someone said a year ago we'd win the cup and shield but have to be shite in some games whilst playing in Europe with a thin squad but still in the top half - who wouldn't take that?

 

[Faz]

Hughes,Devenny and Wharton. Interesting.

To be honest it was not at all interesting from where I was watching

Hughes is not Prem
Wharton was just walking all day
Justin just can’t finish

12th again if we carry on like this ho hum

 

[VinceHilaire]

I couldn’t see where the goal was going to come from. We miss Sarr & Munoz on the right…

 

[Mugaman]

Well a season that promised so much a few weeks ago ....

Lack of squad depth .. Mateta reverting back to Mateta under RH.

Midtable averageness beckons once again.

That’s just not true.

Clinton said it about 20 times. We dominated Spurs. We just couldn’t put the ball in the net.

Build out, good. Midfield broke lines like knife through butter. Entered the final third with ease…it’s just finding the player who can finish we’re lacking right now.

Yes we are fortunate to still be in top half tbh but if we continue like this making it hard every game we will be slipping down as the point game isn’t much for 8 spots

Usually I’m a fan of Glasner and his decisions based on what he has achieved with us, but this is defining. He starts Mateta knowing he offers nothing and ain’t hungry, once again he puts Nketiah in a number 10 role when he and we have all seen it doesn’t work.
Please if you don’t have your best players in the system you like, you have to change it to be a flexible manger. Next game start Uche instead of Mateta.
And for all the fans who give Kamada stick, when he’s injured it shows the difference between him in Hughes. Kamada tries to make things tick and is forward thinking and Hughes is just safety first if that…

 

[Part Time James]

At least we won the FA Cup

 

[Xong Kudu]

I like Hughes but he’s absolutely dreadful in front of goal. Doesn’t he practice shots? I’m not sure Wharton is much better. Has either of them ever scored?

Thank you… I needed that and you are absolutely right. We would all have taken that.

I was lucky enough to be there in May and I said when I left I don’t care if we never do another thing. I never in my life time really thought I would see us win anything and we did so who am I to complain because half our team is out.

Thank you Spindle!

 

[TrickyboyVn]

Have to question the great Glasner.

Doing same thing for months expecting different result.

Hes the boss and tbh all this about playing too many games? So mix it up!!

Since Ebs went there is no goal threat.

Train the players to score.

No goal scorers in MF or attack

If i was a defender id be well pissed off with those in front of me

Spurs were awful but we showed no threat

Pino, Devenney, Kamada, not good enough (and please no Kamada is great fans)

Depressing and now watch the slide

Sorry but Glasner needs to own this and not just blame the board

Normal service has resumed

We will all remember 2025

If those 3 knew where the goal was we would be world beaters

yup, looks like last year was our high water mark; now we are going back to where we belong. Mid table with the ever present flirting with a relegation battle. So much for ambition.

Agree re. kamada. The 4 matches have shown just how important he is. But he is the scape goat and many fans will say it's just because of Munoz.

This hasn't helped my hangover
