[Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

[Tim Over Whelmed]

I think the occasional, surprise, long ball should be used. Once or twice in a half to keep their defenders guessing. But the key is a surprise. The keeper waving everyone forward for a goal kick and then lumping it up towards the big man, is a rubbish tactic that is just as likely to result in a swift counter attack as anything else.

Especially if your centre half then lets it bounce...

Agree, worth a "punt" every so often, as you say! Surely only techinically inept teams would let it bounce

It seems Palace are struggling to keep hold of Mateta now, last one out switch the lights off

I’ve also seen rumours that Villa want him and that he won’t sign a new contract.
He was useless under Hodgson but a revelation under Glasner.

 

[Easy 10]

Mateta has been utter dogshit in most of his time there, aside from a purple patch in the last few months of the season. Prior to that, before the turn of the year the majority of the Palace GOONSQUAD were screeching "get rid", and would have been laughing up their sleeves had anyone come in for him in January. They love him now, of course. Which would make it amusing if The Spiv cashed in. Its doubtful Mateta's stock will ever rise any higher, so you would't blame him.

Forward to 2.45…always worth a punt.

That’s just embarrassing

I can never get my head round Palace fans being racist, I know most clubs like most communities will have thick as a Boxing Day turd rasist cxxts in their midst’s. But fxxk my old boot it’s a south London team that over the years has and still does reach out to the local community with projects to help minorities from the area.

I bet this is a few blokes in their 50/60s that sit at the top of block A, it’s still 1975 for them, luckily they are pretty much ignored.

I mean how do you support Palace and be a racist….. does that mean they dislike 8 or 9 of the players on the field and sit on their hands when one of our many black players score……sorry for the rant I just can’t compute !

Same for me. Palace fans ( for all their faults) would be, imho, the least likely of clubs to have a love in with fuckface.

Same with a few Chelsea (not as many now, but still enough to be an issue)

Olise - gone
Guehi - going

 

[lawros left foot]

He won’t go to Newcastle, one of the big 6 will bounce this.

Why do they let it bounce??

 

[Left Footer]

If Guehi is as good as they think he is surely he'd be off to better than Newcastle?

Wonder what the figure is.

Olise - gone

These were the two that I have always assumed were most likely to leave.

Olise was simply too good to not be playing in the Champions League, and the clause was an obvious bargain for anyone who could activate it.

Guehi was always likely to be sold if he refused to sign a new contract, but we should be able to get a hefty fee with two years left on his deal & arguably being England's player of the tournament at the Euros. I'd be disappointed if he went for anything less than £70m. The Newcastle story this morning reeks of a leak from Palace or his agent to force Liverpool into action, imo.

That all sounds about right, to be fair.
