Crystal Palace vs Chelsea match thread

[Racehorse-80s]

Need to change the system , Teams have worked us out this season , Hughes should be playing and Canvot on the bench .

 

[Uphill]

Wouldn't be surprised if Glasner brings on Pino for Johnson who's just not in it.
Canvot has promise but he has a fatal flaw of giving the ball away to concede goals, once he gets that out of his system he will be good.
Despite what people are saying on here I thought Wharton was our best player, sooner or later his pass will bring rewards.
Why are people always blaming the ref when we are losing?

 

[cyprussteve]

Controversially, I think Mateta will score today.

Can I have some of what your taking 🤣🤣

 

[mtp1958]

Brennan was a panic buy just like Nketiah

really he scored 18 goals last season what part of panic is that learn about football before making stupid comments

 

[PatrickA]

I thought that Mateta's miss was shocking live in the stadium, but watching the replay in the lounge it was his first touch that seemed to make the angle more difficult for him and easier for the keeper.

 

[Dogburger]

Well we had our chances. Two easy ones in JPM and Sarr. Couldn’t take either of them and then gifted them a goal. Lots of energy but our attacking play is awful. So many decent positions and so little quality. I can’t see us scoring, let alone winning.

Johnson invisible, Wharton pretty awful.

Whartons trying to get Johnson going who just isn't on the same wavelength . What do you want Wharton to do when the forwards aren't making space to receive the ball ?

 

[eaglesdare]

Just get the game out of the way. Much needed minutes for canvot, munoz, sarr and johnson. The next couple of games is where we must win.

 

[Painter]

Johnson is absolutely useless when hes not scoring. Him and Sarr are too similar for this system to work. Put in Pino he offers more in chance creation

Have you been on the sherry?

 

[redshift]

Why are we playing such a high line with no one even remotely covering defensively? That's twice we have been caught out, one for a goal. I like us being aggressive but this is madness especially with a kid like Canvot still learning and not a ton of speed in the rest once chasing.

 

[JHB]

I think they will definitely score again. We look very unsure at the back.

I just don’t see us getting two goals. To be honest I don’t really see us getting one. A bit like us they gifted us two gilt edged chances with poor defending and we couldn’t take them. I don’t see them doing this again. Outside of that we have created naff all

 

[cyprussteve]

With Forrest and Brighton away next we will be kissing bottom 3

 

[PalazioVecchio]

this referee is half asleep. We need to put a bit more Niggle into our tackles.

 

[Teddy Eagle]

A pragmatic approach and probably right. Anything here would be a huge bonus.

 

[Xong Kudu]

Surely just on the law of averages we’ll score in the second half even if it’s a lucky scuffed one, a deflection or even a rebound off Metata’s arse which he didn’t see coming. I’ll take anything…

 

[JHB]

Whartons trying to get Johnson going who just isn't on the same wavelength . What do you want Wharton to do when the forwards aren't making space to receive the ball ?

Nah sorry. He over hit several passes that half. Twice on the ground straight out and once knocked a diagonal cross straight out of play. That wasn’t Johnson’s fault that’s just poor passing. Thought Wharton was off it all half. Often caught out of position and Chelsea and played him behind him quite easily.

Lerma gets a thunderbolt on target? Wharton hat trick. Anything will do

 

[MancunianEagle]

Yet he was sold the following season

 

[park the bus]

Mateta is the problem and has been all season. The team can play neat passes, attack down the flanks, put the ball on a sixpence but if there's a donkey up front who repeatedly misses good opportunities then is really is down to management to do something about it.

 

[iheartcpfc]

He's obviously correct

Uche should really be given a chance
