Crystal Palace vs Brentford match thread

Where's Willow? I wanted a run down on Brentford's away form and other interesting facts.

They’ve definitely switched tactics to. Go more direct. Targeting Mitchell’s defensive channel. We need to get hold of the ball.

 

[Eaglecoops]

Sounds from the radio commentary as if we need to get to half-time.

It’s not that bad. The conditions are winning at the moment. The game is pretty much 50:50.

This Palace v Brentford game is dire. Gutted we’re stuck with this rather than seeing 2 teams properly having a go like Spurs and Leicester do.

We're always bad in the first half. Hopefully we improve and they get no better.

 

[JHB]

Not a great half of football which isn’t a surprise given conditions. We looking threatening when we get it forward quickly. A lot of their good moments have come from us giving the ball away trying to pass out from the back.

 

[Forest Hillbilly]

All the second half action will be between the 89th minute and 90 (+8) 😀

 

[Wilesy01]

Awful conditions aren’t making this much of a classic but relatively 50:50 so far.

JP, Lacroix and Hughes all having good games.

Want to see a bit more from Eze and Lerma in the second half. We keep slowing down play unnecessarily and it’s making it easy for Brentford to defend.

Eze slows us down when it comes to quick turnovers and counter attacks.
The new kid might have to come on soon to stretch the defence.

 

[VinceHilaire]

Has all the makings of a one goal game! I just prey that we get it ..

 

[ASCPFC]

Maybe see Esse today? A bit of excitement.

Tucking into a Rothmans Yearbook. Goes very well with a splash of the Gentleman's Relish.

 

[Xong Kudu]

Yes. Bring on Esse. Maybe with 20 mins to go.

 

[n wales eagles]

Glasner talk up the ante second half as always 2-0

 

[becky]

Yes. Bring on Esse. Maybe with 20 mins to go.

Dear Lord, that'll give the Comms a nightmare: Eze and Esse with their accents.....🤣

The customary critical comments regarding Eze's overall input. Not unwarranted.

 

[Davepalace707]

Two evenly matched teams playing in crap conditions. Games between them are always close this is no different. Too much clever stuff resulting in losing the ball for me especially around the edge of our own area. Eze is good at creating space and good at doing f all with it. Hughes Lacroix JPM having good games.

I don’t know. His closing down and effort off the ball has been good. Created as much if not more than our other players. Just looks low on confidence. A couple of times you’d love to see him drive on with the ball but he seems hesitant.

 

[DenTyler]

Eze has all the skill a player could want. The reason Olise left and Eze stayed, in that moment when he had time and space, Olise would have bolted forward, on his own if needs be, Eze stopped and looked for an out ball. Shame. He is so close to being great.
