[Football] Positives from today?

[Stat Brother]

We're going to have to keep a list of palace's failings this season.
As by the time 'they' finally remember their passwords we'd have forgotten half of them.

Some of his touchline to touchline passing today was magnificent.

This ball to Gross early in the second half was absolutely sublime.

This won’t go down well but I think he quite possibly has the best football brain in the squad, his decision making is class and he makes simple passes that open space for the others. Very impressed by his performance today. He needs to play with forwards quicker than Gross and Murray before we see the best of him.

Gross had a very good game - he’s not getting the same profile now he’s dropped back into a midfield 3 but he put in a hell of a shift.

The Radio Sussex team in their 5pm to 6pm analysis, plus Albion fans they spoke to outside the ground, thought Gross played poorly or wasn’t anywhere near his levels of last season. They wondered if the injury had affected him.

I agree with you. Rest of the team need to get on his wavelength.

Or sold the failings - Sorloth, Benteke, _______, _______,

A positives thread has morphed into a bitterness thread, as Harveys/lager hangovers kick in.

Positives:
1. CH has turned our team into one capable of competing with anyone (other than the world class of football Chelsea and ManC who always kick our arse).

2. Great defence.

3. Locadia and Knockaert are looking bloody good.

4. After ManU so many winnable matches lie ahead.

ManU are beatable.

 

[blue-shifted]

The fact that Man City are going to win the league is currently the only this that's really cheering me up

 

[Sirnormangall]

ManU are beatable.

Yep let’s go for the double.

You wouldn't have thought Liverpool were the League leaders

Still wonder why it took so bloody long! Up to about a month ago it really did look like we'd bought a dud, and those of us who thought so, based on the evidence available, have nothing to feel embarrassed about. Truly glad that he finally seems to have come good.

Let's hope next time we break our transfer record we don't have to wait almost a year for them to 'settle in'!

Dunks stock has risen even further today. Entirely possible that he and V VD could be in partnership next season (with an exchange circa 50 million)

 

[Bodian]

Plenty. Locadia's lay-off's were excellent, and his running off the ball looked good. Thought Propper showed some real touches of class. Bong looked really good as well (if only he could cross). Subs really up for it, and wanting to make a difference as soon as they came on. Button looked quite commanding in the box. Very pleasing in the main.

 

[clapham_gull]

Half and half scarves.

 

[Bwian]

Is the fact we didn't have one shot on target a positive?

The performances of Button, Bong and Locadia but that was about it for me.

Still disappointed by our approach and Murray starting ahead of Andone. Thought it was a very dull and predictable game.

 

[Winker]

Positive - hopefully CH will at last recognise that the Murray/Gross starting partnership no longer works.

Record attendance.

A quick NSC fact check with people in the know and who know his family will show Lewis joined Liverpool at the beginning of this season.

 

[Weststander]

Record attendance.

Great to see tiny void areas between sets of supporters. A huge waste of seating when it’s deemed to be a more volatile fixture.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

13 vs 11

Thought Propper was incredible though.
