[Palace] Were palace injury hit?

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Just asking because in the Guardians talking point from the game they say this:

The German was instrumental in the 4-1 thrashing of Roy Hodgson’s injury-hit side as Brighton ended their goalscoring drought in fine style

I thought they were missing Doucore and Eze with Olise on the bench?

How can a team in their 11th season in the premier league missing two players be described as injury hit? Who else were they missing?

It's not like they were missing Veltman, Milner, Mitoma, Adingra, March, Enciso with Fati only fit enough for the bench and Pedro being passed fit on the day of the game. Which, incidently is our smallest unavailable player list for months.

It's almost like Palace are an absolute shambles on and off the pitch...

 

[Mellotron]

When you only have 3 decent players, all of them being out at once is a crisis tbf.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Olise may have been on the bench but he wasn't considered fit enough to play the full ninety, and he only lasted eight minutes on the pitch. Idiotic gamble with the game more or less already lost. That one's on Hodgson

Eze and Olise are by far their two best players. Everything revolves around them, and without them they’ve zero creativity. So IMO, yes they are massively affected by injury. We have more injuries but the difference with us is that we have better reinforcements and more flexibility, as under the RDZ system everyone knows the roles and (to some degree) can fill in the roles as needed. Palace seem totally washed up without their key players.

Most of The Guardian's reporting is bo**ocks so I'm not surprised.

That is an excellent analysis.

Will Hughes played.

If they aren't it's even worse than I imagined.

 

[AstroSloth]

Pervis was also only fit enough for the bench

Watching the extended highlights made me realise we have a replacement for the Jimmy Hill - Chinny Reckon picture

I think that it's fair to say that their team was 'injury hit' as they were hit with injuries to both Guehi and Olise during the game. Their squad was missing Eze and Doucoure, but was bolstered by the arrival of the two new signings that made them the league's biggest spenders in this transfer window. They started the game with only four squad absences which puts them close to the bottom of the 'how many players do you have missing?' table. We had six out. The in-game injuries now put them mid table: https://www.premierinjuries.com/injury-table.php.

Incidentally, nice to see Liverpool and Arsenal pretending that they're in a title race, whilst that table shows that Man City are now ominously injury free and will move into a 'Steve Ovett with 200 metres to go' type second place, two points behind the pacemakers, with a win tonight.

Ed Aarons, who wrote that, is a Palace fan. That may or may not be relevant.

I must disagree. That's down to the medical team, his carer, the player and anyone else he has to rely on for info regarding player availability.
The way they're playing, that's down to the old bloke

I like Roy, but it was a silly gamble from a manager under pressure. Roy's always been a pragmatist and in the past would have been the sort of coach who would have shored up, tried not to lose the second half, but not risked the player for a game that was already lost.

However, had he done this, there's no doubt that he'd now be getting it in the neck from know all black pyjama internet warriors screaming that he has no understanding of the importance of the game, having not even brought on his best player.

That is an excellent analysis.

OK, own up, who wrote that? It was definitely a brighton supporter, a local and I suspect someone on here!
Well done.

I'm fairly sure he used to post here. Don't know if he still does.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

So what we're saying is that yes, starting a game with two players missing counts as injury hit in your 11th season in the premier league(and the billion+ pounds that comes with it) IF you're a shambles of a club with a joke in the boardroom, a joke in the dugout and a bunch of jokes in the stand?

No, it’s on anyone but, well according to him it is anyway. As a LEADER (on over £500k a MONTH) he’s paid to LEAD not throw the little man under the bus. You think his ‘team’ want to work for him now? Publicly you take the wrap, privately you deal with it. But he’s no leader, he’s a self-serving merchant who is so over the hill he’s digging a tunnel, I’ve worked for people like him in enterprises, arsehole.
