We were lucky to get away with a draw.

That's why I asked you about Pino before. we spent all that "supposed" time looking at Barry, how did we not see Pino, when he was exactly the kind of player we were looking for.
Bit of a strange one that, you cant be properly looking at one and not see the other..

New Year new manager please.
Is Glasner in talks for a new deal mate or is it nailed on he'll leave?
He put them on hold, he will have his pick though in the Summer..
Yes I'd imagine he would. He's done a fantastic job and especially as he's had a couple of really tough moments in the job and come through them. Palace just look like a really good side to watch under him.

And Palace is just his latest trick. He built his reputation at Eintracht Frankfurt, a proper big club in Germany. He won’t be fazed by whatever big club he joins.
I wonder if TFG will throw our name into the hat? Moyes still has a year left but really good managers don't come available very often do they.

Acid test for their ambition this year. If they are happy to plod along into comfortable irrelevance, Moyes is their man. He’ll help them nurse their investment for an eventual flip. But if they want something more, they’ll need someone else - and they’ll need a better managerial selection process than the one applied to transfer targets last summer…
Yes mate it's a valid point. The recruitment in the summer was way below what should have been expected. Now, whether thats because they have hired the wrong people, or Moyes decision making was poor, or a bit of both, it simply wasn't good enough. So, does that need tearing down and starting again, or is a change of manager the correct/most efficient approach.
I felt like Europe (conference) was attainable (due to how many teams are in Europe) under Moyes if given the correct signings. Now, he's signed off on every signing, and here we are coming into the new year and the most expensive signing has just played his longest game. Only 2 of the signings have been a success and the jury is out on everyone else. So, if he had a hand in all 9/10 signings then I'm not sure I'd want a similar summer if the success rate is so small.
We wouldn't know if Europe was a target for TFG, it certainly was for Moyes before a ball was kicked though he's been quick to try and play that target down every opportunity he gets. If we don't get Europe (which is looking unlikely due to us not being able to score enough due to lack of quality up front) then I think TFG would give him a golden handshake and thank him for his work done. If we do get Europe, I dont think TFG would rock the boat and Moyes would be given the season with a possible 1 year extension.
Its an ever evolving situation and it'll be interesting to see what TFG make of it

Don't know. Most think he will go, depends (in part) on what happens in the January window.
Do you think a couple of big signings in Jan will maybe sway his decision?
Can I interest you in a Beto and Mcneil?
Still we scored 29 goals in 19 games, you are always going to get games against poor opposition when you bag a few goals so no surprise we got 4 against Leicester. We've played some poor teams this season we just haven't scored those goals. Similarly the last 12 games of last season we played the whole of the top 5 in the league, so no surprise we weren't going to get as many goals. I think half a season gives you a pretty good indication of where you are and you can dress it up anyway you like but we aren't as good this season as we were last season.
