Crystal Palace vs. Lech Poznan match thread

[ASCPFC]

I support England anyway.

I watch them both.

An entertaining game, as great as we were, poznan were just as good, we were just more clinical and individual quality was the difference. Pino motm and Timber was great.

I'd add Benitez. He looked solid tonight.

I agree. Whoever's doing this commentary needs to be sacked & someone who can actually DESCRIBE the action, where the ball is on the pitch, whether we're attacking or not, etc., would be nice. Not just a list of names of players who might have the ball. Pathetic - I stayed up to 4am to listen to this & can't believe this terrible stuff. Long silences don't do anything for me - sort it out Palace!
Maybe there's some problem with BBC Radio London not commentating this season, but this was diabolical. Get on this NOW!

If your out there, why dont you watch it on the telly?

Here's hoping but it does seem his skills are more suited to European opposition. No reason he can't adapt it he's given the opportunities.

I agree with this assessment.
He was at the centre of most of our good moves and it was noteworthy how he moved around the pitch rather than be confined to a that narrow left sided role.

It's clear that Pino can play if he's given space and time.
He's not usually afforded so much space and time in the Premier League- can he do it on a wet Tuesday night in Hull!

Luckily he won't have to

It's a Saturday (30th January) game

But I guess for the average Spanish citizen that will feel as bad as Hull in a hurricane on a midweek night for the rest of us

Another game where we look full of goals but also vulnerable.
Pino was superb tonight, as others say he seems better suited to European nights but perhaps this will be his season, it was an Eze type performance from him.

Great to see JSL working his socks off like he did before mateta returned.

Poznan fans were an example of how to support a team, fantastic. Can anyone honestly still say we are better without the HF, putting aside the politics, we are just another club now atmospherically, real shame

Congratulations to the boys getting a brilliant result tonight

Been on a massive sulk since the Ipswich game

This is going to be a rollercoaster season

First time I've seen palace this season...

McNeil had a good cameo.

Nketiah continues to perplex. Misses the easy chance, scores the hard one.

Timber at the heart of a lot of the good stuff in the first half. Compliments Wharton well -who looks to have bulked up a bit. Kinda like rugby second rows who statt off all tall and spindly and then as time grows on they get stronger.

Yeremy starting to look a stylish player. Really good.

It's just the defence. Would have got punished if we were playing in the Prem. Need an experienced player in the Jan window (a la Cahill), but for me the positives are definitely greater than the negatives.

Up the Palace.

 

[MrRobbo]

Another good attacking performance.

A little lose at the back at time, but you can see a positive direction of travel.

Its no wonder that all of our attacking players are looking better.

Really tidy cameo from McNeil too. Sprinting around from the off, seams that Sage's treatment has had the desired effect.

Sage record now W3 L3

If we are goner go it will be a fun time. The ten minutes of tip tap in the 2nd half was brilliant. Nearly set Mitchell up for a wonder goal. Maybe we should play faster as pino could find his mojo with that.

It’s the lift the team and fans needed .
