Every time they play us, they set up as if they are a non league side playing against a Premier League team in the cup. I know they keep scraping draws but it must be pretty demoralising for them.
Or 2 defeats in 13 in all competitions. The second half has given me confidence that we can kick on once we get a few injuries back and sign a few players in January.
Fair play. De Zerbi really turned that around in the second half and we would have won if it Brooks hadn’t screwed us over again with that bizarre free kick he gave them at the end.
We are due a lot of refereeing decisions in our favour in this fixture especially from this particularly referee after his error last season. However it seems like referees usually go the other way to show they are not evening things up so I expect everything to go palace’s way as per usual.
I’m usually quite confident going into the palace matches but our performances have been inconsistent and we still have a lot of injuries whereas they only have a couple of first team players out. I’d imagine they’ll be more fired up than us as we have bigger fish to fry this season.
We are desperate for full backs. Most teams best players are their wingers so it’s madness that De Zerbi has been left without any proper full back options. It’s no surprise that we haven’t kept a clean sheet all season. The club need to resolve this in January. If not, De Zerbi would have been...
Yep. Pretty much every game we’ve had against them recently has had at least one dodgy decision in their favour. The only one I can think of that went our way was a soft penalty in the 3-1 win when we had 10 men although Zaha should have been sent off in the same match.
