Ketsbaia Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Their squad is far better. Ours is still the Championship side that lost 10 times, never convinced but still got promoted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 If only our manager had some sort of history of evidence of being a good tactician. CL win was a fluke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Why are you comparing them to us? They're doing really well and that is it. ... Palace are pressing about 10 yards higher up the pitch than we managed and are looking alright. Thick. As. Mince. I don't follow? I stated they're doing well and pressing higher, I didn't compare their squad with our squad or anything like that? Just a simple tactical comparison that other people have taken and ran way too far with. Think you need to take a step back on this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Their squad is far better. Ours is still the Championship side that lost 10 times, never convinced but still got promoted. Their entire front 4 (when Loftus is fit) is maybe 3 or 4 times better than what we have - and that's being generous. Pace, strength, dribbling, finishing, experience, they have the lot. They have better midfielders with the exception of maybe Merino, and better defenders. And a better keeper. Every single one of their players is better than ours. Basically they're better.

shakey jake Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I just think it looks like a carbon copy of our game? Palace look no better no worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 80% possession. This must be the most embarrassing five minutes of football Palace fans have ever witnessed on their home turf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Why aren’t palace terrified of City like we were Might be because they have a considerably better team than we do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Aye Palace are a much better side than us, about 5 or 6 of their players would walk into our side. I can see WBA getting a result today as well... grim! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Ah well, it's good to know that a slightly higher line resulting in nigh on the same possession statistics means 'having a go' because they have better outlets up top for the counter attack.

Dave Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Palace are also in good form, having lost just 2 of their last 10 matches. Confidence does wonders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I just turned the Palace/City game on to see 11 Palace players in their own half similar to what we did on Wednesday. Has it been like this all game? No. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1964 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Just remember this same palace team lost the first 7 games without scoring, the same players look a much better team now, this blind notion that the way we are playing is purely down to the players is ridiculous. I like Benitez to suggest it’s nothing to do with him is just blind abdication. Also to suggest anyone that disagrees is ‘thick’ is positively Maoist, we are allowed to have different opinions.

Massive difference is that Palace's side is full of proven quality players compared to ours. They were clearly playing worse than their abilities and have now improved.

Hughesy Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Not only do Palace have far superior players, they have also, even under De Boer, been performing quite well all season. Their league position is not representative of the quality of their team or performances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
