PALACE V CHELSEA MATCH THREAD

[G O Eagle]

The easy with which Chelsea scored their first goal in truly embassassing.

The ease with with they create chances for fun likewhise.

This could be nightmare.

Can’t believe this is the same team that lost to Ipswich only a few days ago. Chelsea in complete control

 

[DenTyler]

We have nothing in the middle today, without hughes they are just walking through us.

This is as bad a 20 minutes as I’ve seen from us in long time.

Lerma
Doucoure
Eze
Sarr

just not in the game at all

with out the want of sounding like Im here to protect the Alabama boy but CR Richard wasnt the player who should be scrutinised over the Chelsea FC goal. Our goal tender D Henderson barely moved without really attempting to keep the ball safe

 

[Eagleman13]

Mitchell's fault just for being on the pitch, according to a lot of posters on matchday/after . . . Just saying 😉 😀

Admittedly, it was a masterpiece by Sancho.

The turn on the halfway line was absolutely.. That wasn't what I was talking about. When he got into the box 3 players went to him leaving Palmer in acres of space.

People have clearly forgotten Richards first game back from injury was the last one so he will still need time to get up to speed plus it's always been his problem he's slow.

Why play a system that doesn't suit player this is the problem and you hear from managers who have managed smaller clubs you have to change based on players you have not one size fits all.

It looks like we play zonal and get caught out so much because players are ball watching plus to slow to react.

it's early days we can still come back.

 

[Honey Gee]

A very positive response and much more even contest now I believe we can score before the interval and take things into the halftime level

 

[ASCPFC]

I'd take Eze over Palmer any day of the week.

 

[bigal]

Our passing and hold up play has been abysmal. Come on fix up boys

 

[G O Eagle]

For whose do no watch: Could easily have been 0 - 3 or 0 - 4 by now.

Aboloutely shocking defending.

Mitchell's fault just for being on the pitch, according to a lot of posters on matchday/after . . . Just saying 😉 😀

He isnt having his best game, being roasted for pace by Neto every time.

 

[crvenaeagle]

Richards is slower than Sancho, yes, but most defenders will be. Besides his pace I think he's having as good a game as anybody else on the team.

 

[Tlsestu]

Appalling defensively from Eze there, zéro effort to trace back

 

[PalazioVecchio]

Richards such a weak link

times two ( Merson has identified Richards as a weakness )

we might be needing a miracle today.

 

[Jimmy Doyle]

Unlucky there from JPM.

 

[Eaglecoops]

Clyne should have started over Richards. The overlapping would be read and dealt with far better by a player used to full back duties.

Chelsea play one centre forward so we do not need both big centre half’s on the pitch.

 

[park the bus]

I never expect Eze to track back or do anything to make it difficult for an opponent, Lerma isn't particularly skilled at anything, and alas Doucoure might never be his former self after serious injury - one can hope it's not the case. In other words with Glasner's formation we don't have a competitive midfield.

 

[bigal]

We look so much better when we press them hard

 

[ASCPFC]

We've done our usual squandering of decent chances.
