Crystal Palace vs. Millwall match thread

[Eaglecoops]

I was going to report on the 2nd half, but I fell asleep.

Did we win?

 

[DenTyler]

Well that was more stress than I wanted.

Ollie would have learned a lot more from the negatives than any positives (which were very few)

 

[glazedallover]

Surprised Kamada didn't pass backwards

Why the constant derision ? Wind your neck in.

 

[RubinsCube]

Big Bad Walt got us out of jail there.

A win's a win and my residual nose bleed from last season is telling me there are just 4 more wins (one two legged) needed to win the thing!

COYP!

 

[Teddy Eagle]

Great stuff Walter Benitez

Round 4 here we come

Thought he was impressive tonight for his first game. Not just the penalties - he looked assured through the game. It's good to know we have a capable deputy in goal.

 

[Palacesince64]

Devenny has balls. Best penalty by far.

 

[esox lucius]

Well for a free signing Benitez looks a bargain

 

[PatrickA]

The sooner we get Sarr, Wharton and Nketiah back the better.
We need the craft of Wharton, the pace and drive of Sarr and JPM needs Nketiah available to ease the workload.
We've laboured in our home games this season.
The new players will need time to settle.

Of course 6-0 , you missed a great performance

 

[Jimmy]

I'm not watching right now, sorry, so can't comment on this game. But your previous comment labelled him as such as good central midfielder, which is a stretch. He's had about 3.5 decent games for us in his entire time at Palace.

Well you are not a real fan then 😉.

He is a good player, he really is.

 

[VinceHilaire]

Esse needs game time to regain his confidence. A few months with the U21s may just help. He had a ‘stinker’ of a game - and mentally needs to recover

 

[Hrolf The Ganger]

A typical Carabao Cup game.

Poor to concede a goal like that, but we are through.

We'll probably get Liverpool away in the next round.

 

[Canterbury Palace]

Poor overall but got through. Good pens. Devenny needs to take all penalties henceforth.

Esse has been poor so far. Needs to go out on loan in January. Feel like Uche might become all of our favourite player in time.

 

[Fanofzhiyi]

Benitez man of the match perhaps. One positive from the game.

Poor performance reminding me of the early fa cup rounds last season.

Esse out of his depth against Millwall, hope he can get some strength to regain his confidence.

Devenny and lerma great impact subs.

Uche is not skillful but offers a positive approach and strength, needs time.

Both Yeremy and Uche need time to realise you can tackle in England, Yeremy has a real presence about him and like Sarr by the end of the season he will be a star.

On to West Ham with hopefully the creativity of Wharton and Nketiah as an option when mateta gets tired

 

[Teddy Eagle]

Of course 6-0 , you missed a great performance

Hughes was on top form - 4 yellows.

Honestly don't think it was any worse than a group of players across the game. The entire midfield and attack were guilty of constantly losing possession and misplacing passes. Think it's unfair to treat a 20 year so harshly considering the time afforded to others.

Two positives for me tonight was that Canvot looks assured and Bentinez is a very good backup.

He is a good player, he really is.

Sorry, I live in NZ and had a 8.30am conference call.
I believe he'll come good for us...just haven't seen much evidence of it yet!

Firstly - well done palace for digging in. Secondly - Millwall were actually a decent side. Game was frantic and they made it very difficult for us to get into a rhythm. Pino, Uche, Esse struggled moreso than most. JP marked out the game for the majority of it. We lacked a calmness in midfield - really missed Wharton. Thank Christ for Hughes and Kamada - the latter being clear motm imo. Jaydee did well enough at the back - looks a good player. Stream dropped out for the end of pens - but 2 saves from Benitez is great for moral and he looked a commanding backup for hendo. Glasner will have learnt a lot tonight - as will the new signings. My nose tells me Esse will go on loan in January, Pino will come good once Wharton’s in the team and Uche will score goals off the bench based on his chaos factor alone. Can’t complain with progressing through - but Glasner will be neutral in his assessment. UTP

Passing was atrocious - but millwall made it very difficult (to the point even when we did have time we still f*cked it up!)

 

[PalazioVecchio]

Benitez man of the match perhaps.

just what i was thinking. Benitez.....mustard.

Esse off on loan to improve his mojo.

Mateta looked tired tonight.
