Crystal Palace vs. Millwall match thread

[JHB]

Right there is why Esse is not playing. He should have fed JPM in on goal. He’s a good player but those are the things Ollie see’s. It’s about the team not individual glory.

He looks very casual and a bit lightweight. Struggling to hold onto the ball

pm'd you a link

Could I ask for a link too please?

Ollie threw his arms up in dispair when Esse gave the ball away and the Kamada pass. He is not happy

Esse looks lethargic, not sprinting, trots about

It's a real cup tie at the moment.
Goals are often at the end of halves. I'm thinking we'll do one quality play and score.

 

[Eaglecoops]

We need half time. All over the place last 15 minutes.

Our wide men are being played around and their aggressive tackling is winning.

Glasner should sort it half time.

 

[Foxy82]

Atrocious performance so far, we look like a bunch of strangers

 

[PalazioVecchio]

good man Kamada

 

[Eagle-Trucker]

Im watching it on SETANTA SPORTS 2 if thats any good to anyone .

We need a bit more structure as we get through the thirds. As someone else said the team look like strangers. Maybe time to get that bit of structure with Devenny on for Esse (maybe switching with Kamada).

I also would like to see Uche given a go as he looked like he had something about him at the weekend.

 

[Palacesince64]

I’ll be surprised if Esse comes out second half. He looks lost.

He appears a bit clueless, playing to central leaving Munoz exposed. He can't pass at all, we won't see him starting again for a long time.

 

[becky]

Is this ref ever going to give a foul? Hughes pulled off his feet, now Kamada hacked down and........ nothing!

 

[PalazioVecchio]

their aggressive tackling is winning.

correct

 

[Spindle]

Esse's confidence gonna be shot

 

[pssguy]

We should be 1-0 down

and they have screwed up a few other breaks with poor final pass. Out on penalties at this rate
Kamada playing well, Pino likeliest to score but should probably be looking for an assist more. Esse bereft of confidence

 

[eaglesdare]

Esse keeps being bullied off the ball

 

[Team of the (20)80s]

The referee is letting has let a lot go here. We’re being bullied off the ball.

 

[DenTyler]

This game is doing real harm to Esse confidence, you can see him shrinking into himself.

Pino is not yet up to the speed of the English game.

 

[Fanofzhiyi]

Esse worries me.

He looks short of confidence and his body language is not good.

He reminds me in some ways of JRS with that lack of concentration.

Hopefully he can get better, he has ball talent but the game is more than that. If he is subbed at half time that would be a massive statement and possibly time for a loan in Jan
