I'm so confused. I swear I'd already heard he was staying on days after the season finished, then I read they were targeting someone else and now he is staying?

 

Fingers crossed they meet in the middle and plump for a classic co-manager clusterfuck.

I feel for Vieira. They were not playing particularly poorly, it was the run of tough games. Only for this mummy to take over as the schedule improved and they played bottom teams mostly.

Not playing particularly poorly?  I'm sure they didn't have a shot on target for a good while during those games.

You may be right. I only watched them here and there in the background. I don't think they were better with Hodgson, at the very least they didn't change style of play. It just delivered better results because of quality of opponents.

 

I'll dig out a comparison i saw at the time Vieira got sacked.

They became the first club in Premier League history to fail to register a shot on target in three consecutive games (Liverpool, Villa & Man City admittedly) just before he got sacked.

I do also. Not saying things were perfect but a club has to have a bit courage in its convictions and it was clear to everyone that run of fixtures looked a nightmare but once through them the next six looked a lot more winnable. It was basically Viera’s first sticky patch you felt ??‍♂️ 

 

I heard apparently Parish has got in his head some stat that if a club remains in the EPL for 11+ years approx then it almost guarantees you remaining in it and I think they were/are approaching that ? ??‍♂️

And it was Brentford, Brighton, us, and man utd twice. 

 

Lost to man city on a pk. Lost to Emery's villa. Drew with Liverpool.

 

Yes there were lots of draws and 1-0 losses.

 

But the games after getting sacked were Leeds, Southampton, Everton, Wolves, and West Ham. 

 

Just a little more patience and i think Vieira gets as many if not more than Hodgson. And I'm not even a fan of his at all

Royball at Palace for another year, man. Another 11th or 12th placed finish whilst playing dull football. Most boring club in the league.

Wolves. Palace can on occasion look decent going forward with Eze, Olise and Zaha (while he's there) and their crowd make a decent noise.

Wolves have at least got into Europe since they got promoted back to the PL and they may be an interesting watch this coming season because I think they'll struggle again. May even drop given the murmurs of discontent behind the scenes regarding finances and Lopetegui's future. 

 

Palace may have those flair players yet are still a poor watch. Think they're often overrated because they rarely get twatted by the big sides. Only twice have they not finished 14th, 12th or 11th in 10 years. Games between us and them are always dull as dishwatta as well. Guaranteed the exact same next season.
