Crystal Palace vs. AEK Larnaka match thread

[Alanh]

Mateta needs at least three chances to score. So next one.

It was always the same with Glen Murrey.

 

[wizlon]

Ref needs to get his act together.

That fcuking siren is driving me nuts.

Surely not? I don't have stats in front of me...but I'd have thought Murray was far more efficient. Less flamboyant and giraffe-like...a little boring...but ruthlessly efficient in front of goal. Am I wrong though?

Canvot's having a laugh.

 

[sprites]

Can someone at the game please share thoughts on how players are going? Canvot? The midfield two. Pino. In particular.

Got some confidence on him and already looks like he is better at shooting than any of our CMs

 

[Nicholas91]

We’re playing low risk football against a far inferior team.

FFS, give it a go.

 

[ASCPFC]

Half time tweaks seem likely.

 

[Palacesince64]

Mateta is so annoying. He comes deep for the ball then passes it back 20 yards. Not to mention the missed chances

 

[PalazioVecchio]

these Greeks like to fall over after every tackle

Nothing bad, nothing particularly good overall really. No one looks out of place. Get a feeling Pino might be coming off as he was slightly limping.

Glasner's ability to break down low blocks against inferior teams strikes again. He cannot play any football outside counter attacking.

Certainly looking that way atm

If I were to criticise anything here, I think four at the back would do against this opposition and put someone in an attacking central midfield role. But we won't do that so why worry I guess.

Yeah, he should be subbed by someone of the bench, 45 min on the pitch were enough for him.

 

[Spindle]

These European refs are miles better

Then we could just give them the ball and let them attack us? Then catch them on the break?

Or he doesn't have the players. It's extremely hard to do against organised and tenacious sides like this one.

Ps it's not over

 

[ASCPFC]

Bring Clyne on.

 

[Palacesince64]

We looked sharp for 15 minutes but too slow and predictable after that. Wharton and Nketiah on second half please!
