heroism never gets you very far against a big cheque-book

Toothless performance. Defence weak as hell, midfield weak as hell, attack hell no

Could have done with some heroism.

 

[PatrickA]

All the goals were avoidable and caused by basic mistakes like giving the ball way, not jumping.
It's ok playing some decent football, but you have to get the basics right in both areas.
And the question remains where the goals are coming from without the contributions of Sarr, Mateta and Munoz.

 

[Stansferret]

Well, a very depressing start to our season. I’ve been looking forward to the return of football, what on earth was I thinking? And before some idiot accuses me of being a bedwetter, I’ll just ask how any palace fan cannot find this depressing.

 

[grumpymort]

oh dear. Feel for Sage but fully expect Dyche sitting in the dugout after the first international break

Him or Eddie both we tried to get in the past a mr P likes to keep going back to same old targets.

I do think Sage will be given until Xmas unless we keep getting stuffed.

 

[Nutmegyeti]

His face says it all. He has so many regrets right now.

On the other hand he’s been given a Premier League gig after 100 games in management

I think he’s realising he has gone too early on a job he wasn’t ready for.

 

[Hrolf The Ganger]

Not good enough on any level. We have to spend.

Nketiah and Strand Larsen are nowhere near good enough and our midfield lacks bite. The defence is a mess. Richards looks his true average self without Lacroix. Another quality CB needed.

De Boer comes to mind

 

[ASCPFC]

We need much simpler organisation. We need to realise that our objective is staying up. Grind out results. Far, far too open.

Totally agree. Personally I wasn't happy when he got appointment. Yeah he had one good season with Lens, but in my opinion that isn't enough to earn a job in the best league in the world.

Bournemouth gave these Citeh feckers a kicking.

 

[ASCPFC]

The massive suspense of who will City buy next?

 

[JHB]

I don’t know. This all feels very much like the de Boer season. That’s probably unfair on Sage but we look so far away from a competitive Premier League team it is unreal. He clearly has no idea what tactics to play or who the best eleven are.

 

[bright&wright]

De Boer comes to mind

Explain to me how any of this is on Sage?

Everyone forgetting the shocking form we were in the 2nd half of the season.

Roy time

neat gin

Sage plays open style I wonder if this is the problem he is trying to play Glaz ball but allow them to be more open and you cant do that in Prem the other leagues yes you can.

 

[ASCPFC]

Bournemouth gave these Citeh feckers a kicking.

We like to kick start other team's seasons.

I think I have more pace than McNeil and I’m 71!
