Crystal Palace vs Chelsea match thread

We've now become the whipping boys of the Prem........ just a shambles.

OG has to go now, there is no other option. You don't lose 11 on the spin and keep you job.

All the Press conference hullabaloo is standing in the way of the obvious.

Can't cope watching us v Forest next week if nothing changes.

We'll definitley lose in Bosnia as things stand too..........

I want Palace to win every game but at this stage I have to say I don’t really care about the Conference League. I care about staying up. It’s now a genuine possibility we go down. We have to be 100% focussed on getting Premier Legaue points so if we went out of the Conference League it wouldn’t be the end of the world.

I notice Parish left his seat in the second half and wonder if he is about to discuss with his manager what the blazes is going on.

There were a few positives. The introduction of Riad was promising he looks fit and skilful and will make a short-term replacement for Guehi. When Sarr and Munoz get up to speed we should start getting goals but sadly Mateta is a hindrance and we should sell now and not over-price him.

Henderson was to blame for the penalty, can't blame Canvot. I am a Pinot admirer but his habit of overhitting free kicks is worrying.

If we don't pull ourselves together and lose the next 3 games we could be in trouble. Goodness knows how we'll survive the Conference play-offs which we needn't have had to play if the manager had fielded a full team against the Finns.

Me too, currently opening my third bottle this afternoon.

We’ve not won in 12. Have only scored four times in that run and lost to Macclesfield. We are a bad team.

Sorry, I was talking about today's team
With Kamada coming back as well, that should cover Whartons suspension.
I think we are a decent team when everyone's available unfortunately, there's been too much noise that's been detrimental to what's going on on the pitch.

What’s clear today and has been clear for some time now is the current system doesn’t work. Teams have well and truly worked OG out. They now just play in behind our non existent midfield, run into the space vacated by the wing backs and get it into the box quickly negating the back three and exposing Henderson’s weakness on crosses.

We clearly need a new manager and I would go back to basics with 4-4-1-1.

Back four of Munoz, Lacroix, Richards, Mitchell

Midfield of Sarr, Hughes, Lerma, Johnson

Pino as number ten

JPM up front as there’s nobody else.

Might not be a team for the purists but we need to go back to basics of competing, winning tackles, playing with physicality and using pace. I’d go much more direct, drop Wharton as he’s playing poorly and is lightweight and compete much more in midfield.

I've been saying this for the last 6 weeks, but all I heard is "it'll get better when Munoz returns blah blah". The system has been found out. As Lanzo says, Glasner is a one trick pony.
 
What is it? No win in 12?

A small squad that was playing in four competitions, we’ve sold our captain and aren’t bringing any players in despite the situation.

The manager overseeing this collapse has said he’s leaving and lambasted the ownership, so we’ve retained him and sold our FA Cup winning captain.

Can’t score, can’t defend set pieces and are gifting the opponents goals. We look a shambolic mess.

It’s hard to recall much worse periods. Beyond things miraculously turning around without much clear reason as to why, I really have lost hope and therefore interest.

It’s almost a gift, to stop caring about the football. Massive shame though. Gone from real optimism to disappointment, to anger, to bewilderment, to acceptance. Almost like the stages of grieving. Grieving for a dying team.

Rubbish

The system has nothing to do with players keep missing chances or making mistakes to cost us goals.

When you haven’t won in 12 then I think you can safely say the system has been worked out. Today we made a chance from an individual defensive error which JPM fluffed. We made another from them packing on a long throw which Sarr fluffed.

We didn’t create a single thing in open play. Therit goals came from errors yes but they targeted running into the full back areas. Did it all game and it’s where the first two goals came from. We’ve been well and truly worked out.

Canvot did well apart from assist x2 to Chelsea

Am I mistaken, or did he actually play on the right of the back three?

I didn't think it was a pen at all given the natural position of his arm. I like him a lot, given he's so young and inexperienced. I just hope his confidence isn't too badly affected.

It's not only about wins draws can be good as well so long as not losing so using the wording like that is misleading to suit your agenda.

So you believe players missing chances and others making mistakes is a system error ok time you to move on and get educated you are clueless.

If it's a system found out we wouldn't have any chances at all.

If JPM & Sarr put those away it changes the game well they didnt again from JPM. (we missed around 4 big chances JPM 2 of them)

You didnt even watch the game we had multi chances. (It doesnt matter if you score from open play or not winning is winning)
 
Mateta was awful today again, if he is injured why keep playing him ? Sarr, Johnson and Uche can play through the middle and we have Uche sitting on his bum on the subs bench. Uche may nothing like as good as Mateta but at least he can move around the pitch.
Also why is Riad on the bench and not playing ? the selection by Glasner makes no sense.
How did Wharton get sent off when Caicedo did exactly the same thing in the first half ?
