Interesting that Marcelo was allowed to play today after his antics in the first leg.
... Just continues to show there's no deterrent for players to be much more than cheats and wankers.
Ironically that is probably about the same amount of time between 2 forward passes for Colback.
The only footballing thing of any significance that he manages more frequently is getting booked.
There's contact.
Rapidly becoming my least favourite footballing phrase.
Agreed. Football is going to a scary place where contact = foul.
Edit: Football has gotten to that scary place already, tbh.
The rise of Coman and Payet might be the end of Hatem's chances.
Payet's form has come at the perfect time, and he's surely sealed his place already with his goal and performances last week.
Out of context this is a good result for him and Palace. West Ham and Payet on a high, two goals scored away from home...
In context though, it's fourteen innit.
Looking purely at the table and remaining games you'd think there could be hope. But then the reality is we just shipped three goals against Norwich and can barely score ourselves.
When we do score we're already behind and it usually leads to us conceding again immediately because we can barely contain ourselves.
