Crystal Palace vs. Nottingham Forest match thread

[dreamwaverider]

I thought we played very well considering. We contained Forest comfortably for 95% of the game and had enough chances to win in the second half. They got a bit lucky with their goal and should have been down to 10 men. The ref was awful again. He even missed the blatant penalty.

The only exception to a committed team performance was Mateta who seemed to be saving himself. I don't blame him. I want him flying in the final.

Must be rough with that ear muff on

The advantage should be with the penalty taker so he should be able to do any kind of run, feint, pause he wants.

disagree. the Penalty taker already has enough of an advantage. I think it's a 70-80% chance that they'll score already.
I'm of the opinion that Eze's penalty style should be outlawed. It should be one fluid, non-stop motion from start of run up to striking the ball.

I'm certain it would be more successful too. Fast run up and thwack it, that's my idea of how to take a penalty.
Eze was fortunate last night because the keeper went the same way as his kick. Nearly a replica of his previous effort.
