Crystal Palace vs. Millwall match thread

[ASCPFC]

Benitez has done well

 

[Foxy82]

Worst half I've seen from us in a long time

 

[georgenorman]

I think the ref arrived in a Time Machine from around 1975.

 

[eaglesdare]

Esse looks like he is scared to put a foot wrong and is over thinking everything. Poor fella.

 

[JHB]

Not a great display so far. Esse having a shocker which is a shame. Pino has loads of energy but just needs to show a tad more composure. Very impressed with Canvot. Thought he was very assured and good on the ball. Looked pretty classy and slotted in to our back three liked he’d played there lots already.

Passing awful tonight. eSse looks terrified Benitez n convey (?} look solid. Think eSse will be hooked at half time and get uche on to run at them. Come on palace. This lot aren’t much

 

[PalazioVecchio]

its half football, half MMA.

we need to get tough out there. The Ref is half asleep.

 

[Hrolf The Ganger]

The worst thing is having to listen to that bell end Tony Gale on commentary.

 

[Spindle]

Kamada is NOT having a good game. He's passed backwards a lot and his forward distribution and through balls have been terrible.

Just because he's had a lot of ball doesn't mean he's playing well. Wharton would've set JP up twice already.

 

[JHB]

I think the ref arrived in a Time Machine from around 1975.

To be honest I quite like the fact he’s let bit of physicality go. That tackle on Pino at the end of the half looked like a foul initially but on second viewing he gets the ball all be it with plenty of contact. Also let Lacroix and their forward battle it out there.

 

[PatrickA]

We started well, but didn't get the early goal.
We look less solid without Richards and Mitchell .
Esse doesn't look ready in terms of positioning or winning his duels and the service to Mateta is sloppy.
Pino looks a talent but will have to adapt to having less time on the ball.

 

[Badger11]

Our midfield is lightweight. Time for some thuggery bring on Uche.

 

[redshift]

That was a depressing half. So sloppy, passes going nowhere. Ollie needs to tear them new one at the half.

 

[Eaglecoops]

Esse poor and justifying his bench position, particularly by not allowing Munoz to overlap who obviously doesn’t trust him to cover. Also drifting way too much into the middle looking for the ball.

Yeremy ok, Kamada and Hughes can’t fault their effort at all.

Janvot, caught out of position a few times but getting lessons from Lacroix which will help.

 

[leejaneagles]

I have no problem with Glasner’s assessment of Esse other than everything he pulls him up on and inevitably early subs him, Kamada has done exactly the same and yet is teachers pet.

Both useless! But at least Esse hasn’t had enough starts to know he’ll stay useless like Kamada.

What are you even watching, Kamada has been pretty good. Head and shoulders better than Esse

 

[PalazioVecchio]

Hughes suffered a few cynical tackles too.

 

[Uphill]

Very hit and miss. Kamada and Pino trying hard but Mateta not getting the accurate through ball he needs.

Sad to say but I think we should return Esse to Millwall and ask for our money back. Maybe a kick up the backside (from the manager) might work.

Hard to tell which is the Premier side so far.

 

[Eagleman13]

Well, that's 45mins I won't get back. 'Keeper doing ok as are the back 3/5. Hughes, nuff said, not booked. Kamada, not good passing is so wayward. Pino, welcome to Millwall, good tidy play. Esse, hmm, drifting inside & trying too hard, JP, nothings sticking to him when he finally get a pass to him.

OG looked pissed off, expect changes i would say. Not sure about Sosa on free-kick, but, no-one else wants them.

 

[Trapsix]

Kamada is fulfilling his role....and we would be at least 0-1 down if not for him..
Esse....I'm sorry...not convinced
Canvot....yep ,trying well,and not afraid to get stuck in ..
Overall...no excuses...esse...not good
