***Palace v Champs Official Match Thread***

Rodri is a donkey .

[Beefymcfc]

We really need to sign someone to rival Rodri.
He is really inconstant.

Fern?

[stevefromdonny]

we have had 12 shots but only 4 on target they have had 2 shots none on target

Is he any good?

That’s decent stats from us but, as we’ve seen, it’s hard to get through that Eastern bloc.

Many wanted him to extend his contract so it’s hard to bring another in while paying his wage.

I like him though.

[branny]

Our defenders look determined to fuck this up.

[PeterParker]

The more I look at Rodri, the more I think he is not a defensive mid.
He has a very Yaya-esque style, I think he should be pushed a bit in the middle and have someone else in the future as a defensive mid. He doesn't track back, he doesn't know how to be a dirty fucker in this position like Nige or Fern were.

[Dimples]

Yet another game where the lack of a real striker really shows.

it does.
We play well, create chance after chance, do not score.
Dippers play crap, get a chance and score.

Palace could do us on the break.

Our defenders look determined to fuck this up.

When we fail to win, it’s the defence who always fuck it up

[blues2win]

We’ve had the best three chances. Bernie, Ayme and now Riyad. The better team by far.

[Sideshow Bob]

rodri's touch and control have abandoned him. so comfortable with the ball earlier this season, just not happening for him now.

[blues2win]

Missed chances but a decent half. I expect us to win.

[london blue 2]

Cancelo is getting on my tits. He’s giving the ball away every time he goes forward. Been like that for 4 or 5 games now. Infuriating stuff.

[Dimples]

We’ve had the best three chances. Bernie, Ayme and now Riyad. The better team by far.

We know we are the best team in the league by a long distance.
That does not count though.
Sticking the ball in the net counts.
That is why Spurs beat us, Rags beat Spurs and Dippers win so many matches.

We need a central striker who is clinical.
We would have the PL wrapped up now if we had Kun from four years ago. We are still looking for his replacement.

[Dimples]

Bruce used to bend over for the Rags every game.
Can someone get Patrick to do the same for us?

Well so far, Stones is the only one who hasn't set Palace's counter in motion. The only time they look dangerous is when we present them with the ball high up the pitch. The other three have managed it five times between them.

[Beefymcfc]

Totally agree but the ball in the back of the net decide games. They had to work hard there, can they keep it up in the 2nd half; can we?

Totally off topic, switched from Sky to the PL channel where it is Chinese stream. Showed an advert for football and included a clip of Putin, completely out of context.

This is why I still think we needed to push for Alvarez to come now.
Money talks, I am sure we and River could have had an agreement.

I pointed this out the other week, but nobody agreed. He's feast or famine for me. I prefer consistency but again, tonight, he's done some weird things.
