soyt Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 It had the same hallmarks that the other away losses have had. They dont give us space in behind and we start playing way too slow from the back. Isak comes short and gets in to a battle and that is not his game. Then we start trying desperate passes and flicks (Fab, Bruno, Gordon) and just get nowhere. Spurs played to our hand but these knew how to play us. Also, it does not help when our squad players like Murphy and Krafu have one of their shite games. On to the next!

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. Including Man Utd away? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nortoon Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 We havent been good. Most of our players bar Bruno has been pretty crap. He hasn't been great either seeing as he's eventually realised he has to do it himself if we are going to get forward and ends up trying too much, but i guess the alternative is to pass to Longstaff. Not too surprising though and people yelling "eddies's shit" etc seems a bit OTT. We are still starting so many average squad players with all the injuries. Burn, Murphy, Krafth, Longstaff are not great players, so we are relying on a few players to pull something out of the bag and it didnt happen for us tonight. Also that was a pen, and at 1-1 it could have gone anywhere. Commentators going on like Crystal Palace have been Barcelona dominating us is ridiculous, it was pretty even and a couple of bounces the right way we would have won it. Just find it a bit ridiculous the people shouting LONGSTAFF SHOULD NEVER START AGAIN. He's the 6th choice central midfielder, he's limited and short on confidence and i also think he is getting worse every game recently. But if we are playing 3 central midfielders do you bench him and start Joe White? He is what we've got and if Eddie Howe doesn't think he should be thrown to the wolves then he will start the next game which I'd expect him to.

He’d have actually frustrated me tonight as a Palace fan. Lost count of the times he beat Krafth or one of our defenders 1 on 1. Then decided to have 5 more touches and not cross or shoot. Then the attack coming to nothing. ASM levels of overplaying and trying to skin our entire team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Geordie Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 1 minute ago, Tiotes Witch Doctor said: 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. Don’t forget we still have United to play. That game defines 6th, so if we’re up for it like we were last time we beat them at OT, our goal difference gets us Europe.

nemtizz Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) Howe’s brain needs to be studied whenever he’s bringing Ritchie on. If that’s Bruno getting tugged back in the box he wins it. Longstaff would actually be useful if he could win fouls. Edited April 24 by nemtizz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Only had the pleasure of the radio tonight, so not the best informed, but it sounded like a bad performance to go along with most on the road this season. We got away with it at Fulham but not at Chelsea and not tonight when there's far more quality in front of us. Eze et al are clearly on fire so if we're that much off our game we won't have a prayer. Still, three points out of Spurs and Palace is better than going unbeaten but only amassing two. I got a carried away as much as the next person, but if any of us really thought it would be a straightforward march to 6th, we can't have tuned in for much of this season. Big chance to course-correct on Saturday, just got to focus on that now. Bloody team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infuriating just watching him strut about like he had a 3-4 yard force field round him for twenty mins at the start of the second. Wouldn’t have been that much more from us to grind out a shite 0-0 either which would’ve been fine. So fucking frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 2 minutes ago, nufc4eva said: Also fair to say Palace are playing decent stuff and well in form, they have some really decent players. They had more than us out on the pitch tonight, that was kind of obvious after about 20 mins. It really is a game of numbers, too many of our players were aspiring youngsters or not very good squad fillers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 How good do you actually think we are? I mean look at our keeper and backline.. And Longstaff has been playing injured in what is a vital position of the pitch. Bullied us and pressed us all over the pitch. Couldn't get close to Eze and our CB's couldn't deal with Mateta. It was always going be a difficult match, every PL game is.

Mattoon Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Poor to a man, Bruno probably our best player but even he doesn't deserve more than a 6 as he lost possession in key areas and had a few wayward passes. I don't think that system worked at all tonight, Palace look quick and aggressive and their high press was akin to us at full strength last season. Need to put this one to bed and smash SU at the weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
