Crystal Palace vs Newcastle match thread

[PalazioVecchio]

ooohh, our old man's Mateta
his trousers tucked in tight
he kicks the corner flag
does so with all his might

 

[JHB]

Get a cross in and we create a chance. I wonder if there is something we can learn from that

 

[TheBigToePunt]

We also have to offload Eddie the injured too. that is nearly £100 million the new manager will need to free up methinks.

I'd be astonished if we got half that much for the three of them, if any buyers could even be found. That's the problem.

 

[KCeee]

I just dont buy this too many games discourse.
It's 4 full days before we play again and even then we have 3 goal cushion.

I go to the gym 6 days a week and I'm just a fat f*** with an office job. This lot are professional footballers, they should be able to handle a game twice a week.

Can anybody else see either Johnson or Pino (or both) moving on in the summer?

I think Pino has it technically, but it would mean the next manager knowing how best to utilise the players at his disposal. Circa £60m spent between him and Johnson, not looking like a good investment currently.

 

[PalazioVecchio]

Sarr is good
Eagle's good
Senegalese & good

Chelsea fail to sell far better players so it will be a miracle.

We will hold on to them and see if a new manager can unlock some semi functional attacking play. It’s no coincidence that all our attacking players (except maybe Sarr) look really poor and have gone backwards. The answer lies with the manager

Why do I keep thinking of decapitated fowl?

 

[KCeee]

Finally a change. Personally I would've left Larsen on, given him a chance now he'd likely get some decent service.

You're hungry?

 

[DenTyler]

Need to be honest… the purchases of Eddie, Pino and Johnson and to certain extent Larson have not gone well. Now the question is, have we purchased really shite players or are they being played in completely the wrong system. Larson is getting no service at all. Pino I like but looks too light weight. Johnson seemed a very odd signing to me at the time and nothing has changed my mind on that. Eddie. If Eddie was going to do anything he would have by now. He was and is a Lemon.

4 days is plenty of time. We WILL WIN in Italy.

The games is a factor but so too is a manager who is clearly prioritising Europe over the league. Clearly we a gambling we’ve got enough points. Dangerous attitude and could be a long end to the season

 

[PatrickA]

I'm concerned about Larsen.
What does £50 m buy you these days?
The ball at his feet in apace running into the penalty area with just one defender ahead of him
Not for one second did he look like he would get a shot away or beat the defender.

 

[JHB]

Oh my. Thats an astonishing miss

 

[Nicholas91]

Why can nobody in our team head the f**king ball?

Either way, that’s enough for me today. Painful yet again.

I'd offload all of them except Larsen. I think he's done well considering and shows promise.

The rest of them have had plenty of opportunity now and even if we get a quarter of what we paid it would be better than hanging on to dead weight.

 

[Uphill]

Does anyone agree that Munoz is a shadow of his former self? Nine times out of ten he passes back
instead of his trademark bursts down the wing?

Now Wharton is on, for God's sake use him!

 

[JHB]

In this game two free headers four yards out with open goals to aim at and neither one could hit the target. Basic skills lacking
