FFS, I want to vent my anger over the result and you just made me chuckle.

Difficult to argue on the basis of our current league placing but we are a clinical finisher away from being a top side. We dominate most teams and play possession football with attacking intent. This result will hurt for a while but we need to keep thr faith

It's not coincidence, it's not bad luck, we're absolutely atrocious at scoring goals and it will cost us our place in this league if we don't sign a striker capable of scoring.
Maupay is shit, Connolly isn't any better, Welbeck is average, Zeqiri and tau aren't being played, it's hugely frustrating and we need to shift the deadwood in the next window.

so much i could say but it's pointless , we can/have all just seen what the issues are ....in what world Llana comes on for McAllister ??
LLana should be doing the post match interview not potter .....he should be in the rooms giving Maupay electric shock treatment.

That result just wasn’t possible. Simply not possible.

I’m really not surprised by this. Gifting a gilt-edged chance in the dying seconds has happened too often this season: United, Sheffield United, Wolves, Newport and now tonight. Might have even occurred against Spurs, can’t quite remember. Only difference is whether the opposition sticks it away: Benteke did.
The game absolutely typified Albion under GPot and why I was still on the fence, even after Liverpool. As others have mentioned, he takes a one size fits all approach and plays the exact same way against every single team in the league, which is why we have taken a pitiful amount of points from the teams around and below us. It’s ironically reminiscent of how we played under Poyet and was apt that he was there tonight.
Credit where credit’s due, I was actually pleasantly surprised with how proactive GP was with substitutions and this undoubtedly led us to play a heck of a lot better for the first half an hour of the second 45. Many people will blame our lack of signing a striker, but after 4 years, this striker is a mythical being for me. At the end of the day, if we don’t have enough money to buy a 15 goal a season striker, then we need to adapt the way we play football to the players we have and GP needs to find a more pragmatic way to get wins. Would we take a single one of Palace’s players (Zaha aside on skill, though obviously we wouldn’t touch him with a barge pole)? No. Yet they sit, yet again, 6 points and 3 places above us, having taken 8 points out of a possible 12 from us under GP.
Simply put, Hodgson’s so-called “anti-football”, with a team of players we wouldn’t switch for any of our own, consistently does better than ours. There thus must be a way, under GP or somebody else, for us to win more games and score more goals with the current players we already have.

Funny because people said the exact opposite to that when hughton was manager.
I would rather lose like we just did than have to watch dire football for 90% of the season.

Just thank your lucky stars you don't have to travel back from the stadium now, or battered in the pub trying to hold it together.
We can all go to bed and hopefully tomorrow, with any luck, we won't give AF.

We didnt really win when hughton was manager either. That was boring football AND we lost. Poor in front of goal is the issue.
