Yorkie Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Can't dislike Roy. Surely Palace won't renew but fucking hell, he's some bloke like. 73 and still doing a perfectly decent job at this level and with this intensity, plus with all the difficulties and vulnerabilities he has personally.

Infinitely Content Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I slept through all the games, were we bad? Good first half with some really bad misses costing us, particularly from Fraser twice in about 2 minutes. Second half our whole tempo slowed down and Palace managed the game comfortably.

toontownman Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 To fair it is never easy at this club sometimes playing at home. One or two things start going wrong and you can feel the pressure at St. James Park. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbers Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 them postives though. What ones? A thunder bastard from Shelvey after his 1,000th attempt? Those missed chances? The 70 minutes of passing across the back four and to Darlow which gives us a false perspective of ‘controlling the game’ via possession stats? It was sarcasm.

Disco Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Jairo Riedewald making our midfield 3 look like absolute chumps. Embarrassing for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 His plan of just throwing strikers on, man. Can someone tell him to fucking stop? So thick man. We were laughing at him for doing it with the mackems 10 years ago man, and he's still allowed to do it at PL level Very good first half, followed by a pathetic second half. Saints will boss us come the weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I thought first half was a good continuation of the Everton game. Much quicker and sharper football than we've played all season. Nothing phenomenal but a huge improvement. We were quite unlucky to concede two goals from what seemed like nothing to be honest. Second half just fizzled out and the substitutions were that of a child playing FIFA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 That first half was incredibly streaky, we were never in control of the game. If we play that openly we will lose games. Desperately need something more in the middle of the park. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Yeah I was going to say. Problem at the moment is to get any kind of midfield foothold we need 3 in there. But to get the best out of our squad we really need ASM, Fraser, Almiron and Wilson all in the team and that requires a midfield two. We're desperate for at least one midfielder who can get hold of a midfield - at least physically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Aye for all the attacking talent we've got, and for any improvements we've seen/may see with respect to our possession play and intensity off the ball - we're a country mile away from having a coherent attack. I just fail to see how Wilson, ASM, Fraser and Almiron all fit into the same line-up tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just fail to see how Wilson, ASM, Fraser and Almiron all fit into the same line-up tbh. Wolves away With the added spice of Murphy as a wing back and Hendrick in the headless chicken-run-around and achieve nothing role. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this was Brucey basically throwing his toys out of the pram in response to us all calling him out on his defensive limp-dick football by throwing all the attacking players into an XI as if that could actually affect anything; total failure to comprehend some detailed and effective coaching might actually be the solution to a problem he isn't even able to fix or at best see.

One of the biggest indictments of Bruce's supposed desire to play attacking football, to do that you really need to have midfielders who can get up and down the pitch and press the opposition high up. You can't do that with Shelvey without getting hammered on the counter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
