Crystal Palace vs. Hoffenheim match thread

They’ve had two big chances. Khalaili completely ignoring his defensive duties for their goal and Mitchell getting sucked into the middle leaving (surprise surprise) someone completely unmarked at the far post.

Our defending is appalling and how Khalaili is a PL standard full back/wing back is totally beyond me.
 
This is a team with no presence and no identity. I tend to believe that a team is a reflection of the manager. Whatever may be said about Pulis, Big Sam, Roy or Glasner, one knew who they were and what they meant to achieve.
 
I do get the impression that the players still want it to work for Sage, and Deano was very positive about him in the press conference. However he might be a nice bloke, and they see positives in training, it is simply not working on the pitch.
He is either an unlucky omen, or just simply out of his depth.
Personally I think it is a mixture of both.
We do not have the players to keep going with this 3 at the back so bloody change the system and make it harder for the opposition to score.
