I does say something about Bruce that Jones has come out and said "We need to be much in possession and on the ball, and thats what I want to work on while i'm in charge, as there is much to improve" :lol:

Other than a point which was a big point there was nothing at all positive in the performance imo. Palace should have had 5.

 

Jones selection was awful but he’s not to blame and he’s also not the answer for anymore games after Chelsea.

Yes it’s not the best, but there’s potential in it and with a decent manager we’ll be way above relegation

 

Aye, this is the crux of it. 

 

I think we'll be sound in the end, but the next couple of months aren't going to be pretty.

What was he working on in the last 10 months?

By the sounds of things the draw papered over a lot of cracks for some on here. If we'd been beaten 3 or 4 nil though, we could not have complained. They had a goal disallowed that on another day might have stood, they hit the post, Benteke shot wide from about 6 foot out and unmarked, hell they should have scored with only about 20 seconds played. For our part we scored a wonder goal and had a laughably low 25% possession. Twenty. Five. Percent. We didn't compete in any area.

 

Nothing was good enough today. We need to press better, be higher up the pitch and be better with the ball. It's not just the tactics, which you could argue Jones had little time to do anything about (I'd not buy that either, he's been coaching this team for ages) but the team selection was wank too. Almiron provides an outlet which we desperately lacked in the first 65 minutes, Fraser is dogshit and Schar is our best centre back and Krafth should not be in ahead of him.

Just one against the takeover. Couldn't give a flying fuck what those tinpot cockney cunts have to say about us tbh. Those blokes in all black look like their wives all left them and took the kids and that they boo the knee. Absolute dangers. Them and Parish can fuck off, raging nonces.

First game I have properly watched us in months/years, couldn’t believe how shite we are on the ball. Not sure if it is a confidence thing or just the ability of the players in general but none of our players seem comfortable putting their foot on the ball and retaining possession for a sustained period. 
 

Every second ball or 50/50 is just headed/booted back into the air by us until inevitably a Palace player brought it down and our whole 11 just retreated back into our half. Was like watching a Sunday league team :lol: could do with Fernandez and Schar being back in the first team, Lascelles and Clark looked a nervous wreck whenever the ball fell their way.

no matter where else we strengthen, if we dont get 2 or even 3 decent central midfielders in january we are fucked.

they completly walked through us today but that also had to do with that obsession of playing just 2 in midfield.

ASM still in a huff over his mate getting sacked.

 

 at least we made a couple of positive substitutions before it was too late. nice change.

ASM is going to have to grow up, this is where he can decide whether he would rather be a flash individual in a struggling team, or be a team player in a successful one. There are no successful one man band teams.

Thought his effort today was disgusting. He crows on how much he loves playing for the fans, then fucking at least give the effort for those fans. Everyone has poor games, but today he looked like he didn't give a shit.
