Fredrikstad vs. Crystal Palace Match Thread

[Spindle]

Nothing but respect for the Norwegians on this. Wish our authorities had the same level of principle. Gambling destroys more lives than almost any addiction I know.

Yet they had the Macdonald's M on their hamstrings. Equally a ruiner of lives.

Awful performance and not happy about the manager again not willing to rotate or even use proper subs.

Giving people 3 minutes whats the point he's worse then Roy.

Kamada getting all that game time he was useless and just returned from injury.

It was a hard watch but I thought Kamada wasn’t that bad compared to some of the others. Sosa was disappointing and the rest of them can’t play against sides that have everyone behind the ball. We are set up to defend and hit teams on the break. In saying that our results this year have been better than most. Someone said after the first leg that it was like watching England playing against a lesser country and not able to break them down. Wasn’t much different tonight in my opinion. Our defending was good but going forward poor?

This is why we should have given other players a go we knew full well what they was going to do and they dont have the quality to do much.

We already was ahead it was for them to have to have a go we didn't need to press we got it all wrong.

Devenny had a good chance to score (if only had placed it in the bottom left corner) after initially getting the ball to Mitchell. Maybe Glasner is saving him for Viia. I doubt it but just hope Hughes is back

Which other players were you thinking?

Delighted to progress to the Group Stage however the performance was uninspiring.
Only scoring a solitary goal over 2 legs against Fredrikstad is perhaps cause for concern.

Personally I’d have brought on Devenny for Kamada sooner, and Clyne for Munoz not because either is an upgrade but just for fresh legs (and in Clyne’s case experience). A bold move would have been to try Esse out and provide needed rest one of the forwards…

… but we found a way to qualify and that’s what really mattered. I’d have stopped played it out so deep from goal kicks in the cup final, what do I know? In Glasner we trust.

There were a couple of players on the Fredrikstad team who I thought we should take a closer look at. Their energy levels were exceptional!

Unless our poor play just made them look good.

Thoroughly agree, so glad I didn’t make the trip to Norway to watch that inept performance. Why can’t we put these lesser teams to the sword? Play like this against Millwall and we will be out of the cup!!

The match is only a part of away games ,away games in Europe especially . Its all about having a jolly with your mates or maybe family . Having a laugh ,a few beers and a bit of banter with the locals .

Can't wait to make the trip to at least one of the away games and I'll take a boring 0-0 as a point gained

COYP!
