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

[Dub City]

Their keeper takes a fucking age to take every kick out every time we play them and refs just wave it off. Really gets on my tits if we ain’t ahead he will book him on 89 mins for it.

Did anyone not watching on sky realise that this result would suit liverpool - the commentator must have mentioned it once or twice now.

[nottsblue]

I’d bring on Razzer for Foden and Gundogan for Bernie

[stevefromdonny]

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

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

it is but if we work the ball faster then take 3-4 passes and end up in the same space we can do better

[sheblue]

Imagine a few years back we had 4 strikers. I have to pinch myself when I think of that.

[PeterParker]

Is there an argie midget on the bench that can help us?
He loves to score title winners in the last minute.

[brite blu sky]

We nearly broke them. We will 2nd half.

Foden missing in action is not contributing enough. That's problem for me.

No chance he will score now

[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.

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.

Clear as daylight to me. Almost every time we turn possession it’s him.

Hope he grabs an assist now.

Our defenders look determined to fuck this up.

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

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.

I’m not saying you are wrong, mate, it’s what always happens and the way they have set-up to put our defenders under pressure rather than allowing us to have the ball at back, it’s always going to be a test.

I mentioned early on that they have set-up a bit like United started in the Derby, which soon fell away. Paddy won’t make the mistake that United did and may drop deeper the second half, but it would be a push to keep up with what they’ve been doing.

Frustrating first half. We need to puncture this match. Very tiresome listening to Sky pundits hoping we drop points. Fuck 'em!

I always stop off at your posts, just for a brief minute, or 2

[blues2win]

I hope Phil gets on the ball more this half.

Switched to NowSport, couldn’t cope with that shit.

[Beefymcfc]

Walker looks like he’s been fed a sausage.

[stevefromdonny]

and again maz fucks up instead of putting the ball in straight away

[Beefymcfc]

Mahrez bad touch, can’t say that often.

[PeterParker]

We need to change.
We are terrible.

[Beefymcfc]

Fucking height difference there!

[Whassat]

Ffs try to get a shot at the fuckin goal

[gmercer1]

So so sloppy

[gmercer1]

FFS no way are we scoring here
