Crystal Palace vs. Nottingham Forest match thread

[Spindle]

I don't know but I'm not a fan of this Kahallili bloke. Seems to lack the beans to do the job, lacks quality, gives it away and switches off.

It's early on him but

 

[mtp1958]

Absolutely awful performance so far..!! We’re all over the place defensively.

Just not sure about Sage at all..!!

That's the players not doing there job pretty sure Sage hasn't told them to do that

 

[eaglesdare]

Theres no leadership in this team at all.

 

[Painter]

They are just ripping us apart at will, bet Glasner cant believe his luck.

The defensive training during the International break isnt paying dividends.

 

[ASCPFC]

We set the tone for a match against rivals by conceding straight away.

 

[syd snot]

I'm lost for words here.

 

[maddog]

If Munoz had scored there....

You misspelled “Strand Larsen”!

Is it? Do you think the players have unilaterally decided to press high? Do you think they’ve taken it on themselves to try and pass out from the back and push the wingbacks on and the centre halves wide? I don’t. I think those are Sage’s tactics.

 

[Plaistow Eagle]

Wtf has happened since the Leeds game!?

Clearly the 3 week break wasn’t used productively.

Pino annoys me so bloody lightweight..!!

 

[edskan]

Apart from Mitchell our defence is not Prem standard today (neither is our attack tbf!)

 

[MarkA333]

I can think of 5 substitutions right now.

 

[JHB]

Clearly the 3 week break wasn’t used productively.

Pino annoys me so bloody lightweight..!!

He and Wharton are having awful games but it’s clear they are being asked to play roles that don’t suit them

 

[redshift]

Another terrible pass by Wharton. Is he trying to get a job in the Championship?

 

[ASCPFC]

Exactly, our tactics and instructions are either wrong, or the players aren't implementing them. We don't have the players for the high press. Pino is not strong, none of our forwards get stuck in. Nketiah is probably the best at it and he usually gets injured, and certainly does not finish well anyway

 

[Spindle]

Holy f*** how, what?

 

[park the bus]

Nothing with this set of players suggests they understand what the manager is trying to do. Same with Sage himself, his tactics are unsuited to the time scale he has and the players he picks. An incoherent mess, and a good thumping by Brighton should see him gone.

 

[Teddy Eagle]

What a save.

 

[Palace Old Geezer]

Blimey, this is painful to watch.

We were renowned for our defensive prowess not so long ago. Not now.

I can't believe what I'm seeing to be honest.

 

[Xong Kudu]

Our defence looks pitiful today. Canvot is just not Premiership standard particularly with composure and passing. He always looks terrified and makes me the same.

 

[Nicholas91]

We’re an absolute mess.
