Crystal Palace 2-1 Newcastle United (12/04/26) | post-match from pg. 36


Recommended Posts

We’re really slow in possession and have no ideas, we only seem to want to shift the ball out wide and cross for the sake of it, and we seem to love losing the ball of our own making and concede a chance - that’s my takeaway from this season

Wingers dropping deeper and deeper to get the ball and have started making mistakes and giving it away because we can never play through midfield.

 

I'd be getting Ramsey on quickly to try and help out in there. Feels a bit too soon for Miley, or maybe even take Tonali off.

Our plan seems to be, slowly pass between Botman and Thiaw, then when it goes to a fullback at the lowest possible tempo imaginable, they are pressed and play either a hopeful in behind pass to no one or pass straight to Gordon/Murphy with their backs to goal where they're both horrific at retaining possession, inevitably lose it and Joelinton/Tonali are no where for the counter...top stuff.

 

Miley looks good at least...

He did tip it wide. Where do you want him to push it [emoji38]

 

Out for a corner. You knew what I meant.

Get Gordon off at HT, he thinks he can just stroll around and play shite passes without consequences.

tbf to a man we've been poor

We look like a side that does zero work in possession. 

Just cant play from the back. We rotate to Hall as there is no options in the centre and then Hall launches it forward for Gordon to chase as he is pressured. Just awful.

Pretty much all the goals we’ve conceded have been due to our own ineptness

Hope it’s better than they usually are or we’ll be 2 down by the hour mark.

There's more ways to play football than 1) all out intensity and 2) sit back and do sod all with the ball. 

And there's more ways to play football than by immediately pleasing N-O's match thread nihilists.
