My bigger concern is will we actually be ruthless enough in the summer and get rid of the players we need to in order to progress? 

Who would want our unwanted players?

We didn’t look like we wanted to be there. That’s on management - players have to be up for it, that’s basic.

Isn't that down to the players? If they can't motivate themselves?

Poor that, unfortunately.  One of those ones where the manager and players just got it badly wrong from the first minute to the last.  Hate these passive away performances this season.

 

Onwards and upwards

Better team won, no complaints there. They were up for it and Bruno aside we never looked like bothering our arses to try and find an answer in any significant way. Longstaff again diabolical in key moments in an otherwise average at best performance. You'd think he'd have learned by now that he can't dive for toffee and pack it in, it literally never works.

 

Dubravka: 6

Murphy: 5

Krafth: 6

Schär: 6

Burn: 6

Anderson: 5

Bruno: 7

Longstaff: 3.5

Gordon: 5

Isak: 6

Barnes: 5

 

 

 

Those ratings seem a bit generous :lol:

Palace have played well and we still have too many players who are not at the level we need to be at. Not much else really to glean from this. No point spitting dummy's out.


Yup, did the hard work in the first half and then just didn’t build on it or change anything to improve it. Giving Eze the freedom of the park in the second half didn’t appear to be a wise idea either. Was already starting to the take the piss before the first goal.

I can’t come back quick enough. Totally hacked off with that. Just got everything wrong. The whole set up. The application, the effort. Just fuck off and beat Sheffield.

We've been bullied from start to finish tonight, they won comfortably while giving their best player a 60 minute rest.

 

6th probably gone now, to be honest if funds are limited in the summer it's probably best we don't get Europe and have another season building the squad and establishing an identity, because it's certainly not pressing and intensity anymore.

first of all we need to have funds allowed to spend under FFP

Amazed we didn't lose by more tbh the amount of times Eze had Krafth exposed.

Most annoying thing is we offer no threat when go behind, never really look like we can get back in it

West Ham game forgotten now is it?

 

We ran into a Palace team that are absolutely on fire tonight, and we looked shell shocked. This was always going to be the toughest test we had left, from here on out it’s got to be three points every week.

Find it hard to get too mad at individual players when the system was all wrong from the outset. Never really gave ourselves a chance. Crystal Palace aren't Spurs - they don't play with a super high that that you can boot the ball over the top of.

Some right fucking wankers crawl out on here when things have gone wrong, just waiting in the wings

If it’s good it’s good, if it’s shit it’s shit. Not sure why people get so upset if others criticise a shit performance.

How did we setup today? Back 5, with murphy and Anderson as right/left back? 

No idea wtf those first 60 was. 

 

Deserved loss, no complaints. Except for VAR - WTF?

Been on a work meal so haven't seen how we played. Assume the Howe-out crowd are jizzing themselves silly and will be mysteriously silent again next time we win?
