Crystal Palace vs. Arsenal match thread

Defensive shambles all game.
Not stopping the crosses and vulnerable on set pieces.
Should have kept the same settled back 3 unless Chaloboah is carrying a knock.
Going forward we look to have some threat, but sadly I could see Arsenal scoring 5.

What do you expect they have played 3 games in a week and it's same players he rarely rotates unless forced to.

It has been scientific proven it's not good for the players also you have a fairly large performance drop (for a team like Palace who do not have the best quality the drop would be massive)

All season we have been poor defense wise it's a setup issue also half the squad are not up to the standard it's puzzling why some of them was given new deals in summer they contribute 0.

Arsenal are such cheats.
Kamada is useless and should never play for us again - he neither brings anything or adds anything to the team.
Our defending today has been abject at best.
They won't score many easier goals than they have today.
We don't defend the second ball at all - or haven't today anyway.
I doubt we can pull this back but Kamada needs to be subbed at half time.
Will and Olise in the stands - what would we give.........

I don’t see what Kamada has done wrong today. Been part of an effective front three. Held his shape and position. Linked play when he’s had the ball. I know he’s not run the game but he’s easily not one of our worst five players that half. Back three, Lerma and Clyne all playing much worse than he is.

Yeah but they aren’t getting beaten for pace or played through. They are just standing and watching Arsenal players head the ball. That is an organisation and maybe a preparation problem. Yea they’ve played a lot which is why I’d have liked us to have rested players in the cup.
 
The defence is all over the place. It's a shame when Sarr, mateta, and Hughes are working their socks off. Kamada - I have no idea how he's getting on the pitch in front of others. He isn't awful, but he gets disposessed too easily, has random pot shots that are way off target, and he goes missing on occasions. Oh well, Sarr looks like he's finding good form.

Kamada in some peoples mind was responsible for all 3 goals, just for being on the pitch, its pathetic to keep slagging the bloke off, there are far worse performers today.
 
Kamada the whipping boy on here as usual. He’s had a decent game and is working hard. Lerma on the other hand has been giving the ball away repeatedly. I’d take him off and bring Devenny on.

Kamada cant even close a player down, open your eyes FFS
 
Change the defence and this is what happens. Mitchell obviously had a mare with the third.

Kamada? Really not good enough.
 
We urgently need cover for Munoz and Mitchell as those that come in are just not up to scratch (in Mitchell’s case not there at all). Clyne just not there, turned his back on the 2nd goal… school boy defending… your a defender put your body on the line and earn your money. I can’t believe the hole that has been left with Munoz being out.

I don’t like him but Kamada has done no worse than Ebs has done the last few games.
 
Can a manager loose the dressing room in the course of just one game?

I am not sure, whether I have ever seem a team at this level look to lost and unprepared on the opponent.

My only hope is that Arsenal will relax during the second half, knowing that they can go forward and score at any time they just want it, if need be.

I dont think we were that bad, Arsenal are set piece experts, the problem isn't the defence, Lacroix, Richard and Guehi have all played well, we only have 2 players on the pitch with any attacking intent, if the ball is up the other end they cant score,

When they’ve scored three goals as a result of uncontested or poorly contested headers I think you have to say the defence has been a big problem. All three have made pretty big errors. Lacroix recovered his with a great tackle but Guehi just keeps passing it to them and Richards was at fault for the opener (let them cross it so easily) and was really sloppy in giving away the corner that they scored their second from
