Crystal Palace vs. Newcastle match thread

[55 years a fan]

I have to say it’s looking more and more like a managerial issue.

It’s the players who arnt good enough

Was thinking the same thing. This has got heart break written all over it.

At this level you really have to take the chances. We could easily be 2 up. Instead I bet they snatch a goal and we lose 0-1. This is the story of this season. We really aren’t as bad a side as it appears in the table, we just haven’t had any rhythm or luck and very little quality in front of goal.

We desperately need a play maker. I’m all for hughes and lerma but they are both warriors. Need a brain out there too.

We have the playmaker: Wharton. His absence is the single biggest reason we've been struggling.

You can't blame the manager if players are missing sitters

You may have confidence in our manager’s tactics, I no longer do. I am mostly concerned by our poor defensive set up, our fragility against corners and free kicks. If that is not a managerial issue then I’m not sure what is.

JPM… another sitter. This is getting silly

 

[Jimmy Doyle]

Nketia on for Hughes.

 

[Phil’s Barber]

No you can’t blame him for a player missing a chance. You can blame him for set up, tactics and play when it is 13 games into the season and the same thing keeps happening over and over and over

If Munoz taps in that sitter we are still 1-0 up. Newcastle have done nothing.

Take off a Sherman tank and bring on a Ford Fiesta....

 

[JHB]

If Munoz taps in that sitter we are still 1-0 up. Newcastle have done nothing.

But he didn’t and we weren’t. We are 13 games into the season, not 3. At some point the excuses for Glasner have to stop and we have to look at the cold facts of our points total, performances and league position.

 

[Charlie B]

It's over. We are finished.

 

[CT Charlie]

With 15 minutes remaining, we're leading Newcastle with 14 attempts to 1, and shots on target 3-0.

I have difficulty ascribing our shortcomings to the manager.

 

[Xong Kudu]

You can’t blame the manager if our players keep missing easy chances.

Nerves and a lack of composure infest this team.

 

[Frenchaigle]

We nearly got a Hendo moment

You are right. But regardless of whether OG is at fault or not, there's usually a common solution in football during a slump like this. As you hardly can get rid of the whole team, you usually try with a manager with different ideas. If I were Ollie, I would slowly start to prepare for Christmas in Austria.

 

[Jimmy Doyle]

Jeffrey Fivebellies is on!

The simple answer to this is, if you keep a clean sheet then you’ll get a point at minimum. We don’t look like keeping a clean sheet at all this season.

Jeffrey Fivebellies is on!

That shows how fcuking desperate we are

 

[DenTyler]

This game is panning out exactly how I thought it would.

I still maintain Ipswich is the harder game. We could be really buggered if we lose this and Ipswich.

If that happens I believe we will see Xmas with a new manager in place, probably Moyes 🫣

 

[DenTyler]

Shows this league… sandcastle go into the top 4 with a win. They are shite. 😳

Reinforces how poor we are.

Kamada will be back on Tuesday.
