[Normandy seagull]

Well that was just awful

Fulham and Newcastle fans must be w.anking themselves silly watching us being more shit then them

 

[vagabond]

Palace don’t deserve shit in this game.

If we get the equaliser they are there for the taking.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Very poor.

Slow, slow, slow....

Maupay poor.
Bissouma sloppy.


Positive - Veltman

A bit poor. Look out of ideas.

 

[hoof hearted]

I don't understand the need to play 3 CB's and 2 wing backs against Palace. We either need another striker on to play alongside Maupay, or play with a striker that can play up on his own like Wellbeck or possibly Zeqiri. Personally Maupay should be down the pecking order after his poor form.

 

[Lethargic]

Wow that was good but let's be honest it's not really a surprise. Kick up the arse and 4 goals second half.

Rubbish absolute rubbish. 70 percent possession nothing with it.

 

[Washie]

Watching the replay of the goal just leaves me screaming at Burn again. Same as the Leicester, Arsenal and Wolves goals - that was amateurish defending.

I don’t blame White for that at all, not sure what more he could have done, same as Sanchez. But Burn was diabolical.

That was Alzate offering no protection, as per usual.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Welbs, Connolly and Lallana on hopefully.
It’s time Connolly was given a good go up front, ahead of Maupay.

 

[swindonseagull]

We are awful

Were not that good..

 

[hitony]

We are awful

But earlier on you said "It’s going to happen & we will score more than once I tell you. 2-0 comfy win" I am confused??

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

I’m worried that any team below 10th can just watch us **** around, miss chances for fun, nick a goal and sit back and relax.

 

[zefarelly]

Very predictable. Woy is no mug.

Maupay and Alzate not at the races.

Change please GP or they'll mug us agian on the break.

 

[A1X]

Let’s see if “tactical genius” Potter does anything. Doubt it. We’ve got all the ball, it’s the philosophy.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

NEED Lallana and Welbeck on ASAP.

 

[Swansman]

Not a good half but 45 left to go, all the chance in the world to turn it around. Hoping we'll see Lallana on pretty soon as he is good at unlocking these kind of midfields.

 

[del strangefish]

That half needed a Shane Duffy headbutt to get some passion going

 

[BBassic]

I don't get how a football team can be respectably decent everywhere on the pitch except the last bit.

We can't cross. We can't play our way into the box. We can't (often) thunderbastard our way into the net.

We can't score. It's utterly baffling.

 

[The Fits]

Surely part of the problem is that better opposition attack us more which leaves space, the poorer teams sit deep and defend and we simply cannot penetrate.

To an extent.
I just feel you dictate certain aspects of the game if you are aggressive. Force them back. Move the ball more quickly so they don't have the chance to regroup. Take shots to unsettle them. I accept it's difficult when a team is this defensive but we DEFINTELY play differently against poorer teams. I truly believe Potter fancies us to out pass 'team like these' whereas recently against better teams we've mixed it up way more. Much more aggressive. Much more pace in our passing, speed in our decision making.
It's SO ponderous. I really think it's the ponderous nature of our play at times this season that has wound people up the most.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

What does Maupay and Alzate offer, all they seem to do is lose the ball, or take it away from players in good positions.

Alzate kills stone dead any attack his side. We need movement and more movement oh and movement not stop pass stop pass stop pass ffs
