Crystal Palace 2-0 Newcastle United (24/04/24) | Reaction: pg 34

[McDog]

One minute stoppage time.

[nufc123]

Ball tempo as slow as the forum.

[Lush Vlad]

Slowly getting better. But we still want too many touches. Or they just carry the ball towards the player they should have passed to 3-4 seconds earlier.

Just about sums up this first half. Even the ref  wants to see as little more as possible.

[clintdempsey]

We’ll do these 2nd half. They haven’t created much and we’ve been in 2nd gear at best. Get Tino on at HT for Krafth and switch to a back 4 and we’ll be alright. 

[Away Toon]

Absolutely inept first half performance. No energy, no idea.

Gordon on the right seems to take him out of the game. 

Definitely not the same threat with him on the right. He's a LW forward.

Give over 

[The Bonk]

That fucking drum is so shit. Goes hand in hand with their tin topped shit tip of a ground. 

[HaydnNUFC]

Absolutely dreadful game of football as per against involving this lot.

[nufc123]

Selhurst Park? Shit game? What a surprise.

Poor first half, but it’s still evens and I would have taken that before the match.  Got to improve second half though

[The Butcher]

Poor half, but still in it.

 

Have to get the subs right today.

Just glad we kept it 0-0. Palace playing with confidence and high intensity. Hopefully a few tweaks at half time and fresh legs around 60th minute against tiring Palace legs and we can snatch something here.

[Mattoon]

Looking like we've clipped their wings here, don't seem as effervescent as they were in the first 30 minutes. We at least have something to build on, but that was a pretty dire first half.

[Scotty66]

That fucking drum. Shut up man.

[Jilted Generator]

Get Tino on for Murphy

[Aiston]

Really poor half.

 

Cannot keep the ball and we look like we've played 3 days straight instead of 10 days off...while Palace played the other day and look like they had 10 days off.

[Holloway]

Slight improvement last 10 but our distribution there has been quite shocking

[Disco]

What a shit game. Even worse than normal. Hopefully they take Eze off if Olise comes on otherwise we should be fine. Need to improve in midfield, anon aside from Bruno. 

[Shearergol]

Pitch getting watered again

[Lush Vlad]

Very similar to Fulham away and we were brilliant second half there. I know Howe rarely changes it at half time. But with the options we have and the state of that right hand side. I think Tino needs to come on. 

[The Prophet]

That was tough viewing, a bit like the Fulham first half.

 

Palace were very good without creating much. Very impressive how quickly you've been drilled into that press.

 

We were poor on the ball though, but started to come into it as the half went on.
