Crystal Palace vs Chelsea match thread

[Starchitects]

That’s not true OG made it very clear what was needed in the summer window for a euro campaign and all Parish did was to spend his time trying to win the unwindable in the court of arbitration for sport and totally ignored the team strengthening unless you think Pino was a good replacement for Eze.

Pino just isnt the right player for this system, people expecting like for like ability wise isnt how it works though. We buy to sell as do many clubs of our size.

OG is fully responsible for refusing to change system when Munoz was injured, almost just to prove a point.

Fernandez twice now throwing himself to the ground in expectation of a free kick, twice the game quite rightly continues. Does the ref even have a word with the player about his cheating? Does var get involved? Course not. Again, actual cheating is fine. It's just technicalities the rule makers and their stupid toys are interested in. The letter of the law is everything. The spirit of the game is irrelevant.

Modern football.

Against Modern Football

Referee man of the match. A massive influence.

That's how he likes it.

 

[Xong Kudu]

Oh well..maybe we’ll have a relegation scrap at the end which always creates excitement.

Always chase the thrill in life chaps.

Glasner is massively dividing the fans now. He has to go if even just to give us a new manager bounce.

One positive, Riad looked quite comfortable and composed. Hopefully if he stays fit will be the calming influence to replace Guehi

 

[PalazioVecchio]

I am astounded at how many on here keep making excuses for Parish - when he's lack of planning, strategy and nouse is so obvious to see..!!

we were playing in 4 competitions. Of course our squad was going to get an injury crisis. Parish didnt plan properly.

Why Parish? Why does whoever out director of football get away with it? Never see his name mentioned but surely hes involved in who we're bringing in not being good enough

This, done and dusted loss, Forest away, loss, Brighton away, shameful loss.
Parish finally acts and pulls the plug, too late, should have acted immediately, if only based on form after outburst knowing Glasner was going anyway. Some of these players don't look up for it, they should be dropped. It's not going to turn round with the same personnel. I wrote a few weeks ago that change was necessary, but how much longer will it take? Surely Parish is at the threshold whereby he has has got rid of other managers in the past?

That was really poor though.

The next 4 games against Forest, Brighton, Burnley and Wolves will define what happens this season.

2 losses or more out of those 4 games and theres a real possibility we could go down this season.

I'll be very interested to see how Canvot does. Being so obviously left-footed, this is his position, going forward, I think. Good to see that Tyrick will be able to look after him down that side, too.

Canvot did well apart from assist x2 to Chelsea

 

[Bangerparr]

Definitely not a great day but I could see with Sarr and Munoz back that we had some better penetrative than we've had over the time they've been out. The ref not booking Badiashiele for delaying the restart early on told me straight away what kind of game he'd have. Lemma didn't get a warning when he indicated a card should be given to the Chelsea player for Ki King the ball away.

Parish appointed the Director of Football..?? So it's all on Parish..??!!

At least we know he's creative

Hmmm smells like relegation with such attacking prowess

Wharton gets talked up so much - I fail to see why when he is AFRAID to shoot

I thought he looked sharp, strong and calm on the ball, also the defence has a better balance to it.
He should be starting from now on.

Parish employed OG who wont change system....sack Parish!!!

 

[Wolfhound]

Nonsense..!!

OG has repeatedly said he is very disappointed/disillusioned at the lack of investment..!!

I am astounded at how many on here keep making excuses for Parish - when he's lack of planning, strategy and nouse is so obvious to see..!!

Parish has faults but 13 years in the premier league isn't to be sniffed at. If we want it to continue Glasner needs to go now, he picks the team and the tactics to fit players at hand, unfortunately he puts square pegs in rounds holes!!

 

[ASCPFC]

Freedman was Director of Football, Hobbs is Sporting Director. There is a big difference in the roles: one is football and recruitment, the other is largely analysis, scouting and development.
