I prefict the second half will be so bad by both teams that the TV bosses will just shut the game down and play 20 minutes of Takeshi’s castle instead.

Well we can hope.

notice that gylfi has played almost all half in a cm position. a couple of minutes he has actually been playing in the acm position, and he gets an assist.

It was a bad dive mate just imagine it the opposite way round

Always keep your arms low (except when kicking the ball). Your arms should touch a player’s hip or stomach, never his chest.

You will get penalized if you lift your arms high and touch another player.

We wouldn't be awarded a penalty if one of our players was assaulted in the box , usually . I'll take a "dubious" pen any day . The Sky/Media/Jizz-Fest teams get them every bloody week , it seems .

Too passive in this game, Usworth and the players seem to be afraid to lose this match.
Actually, palace is as weak as us. Just give them pressure and they will make mistake...I dont think it is a hard game.

Game is crying out for Vlasic.

My guess is he's a crap footballer who has duped us all except Unsworth, who sees him for what he is.

Going 4-4 final score

 

[tadpole]

...2 conceded again. Not rocket science to determine the root of the problem.

That's the most urgent problem, but there's problems all over the pitch ... Sigurdsson and Schneiderlin leaving their class at home, Lookman wondering what he's walked into, Niasse now become the club's no 1 striker ... do I need to go on ?

Schneiderlin - Gueye, Sigurdsson, Gueye valued around 30-35m, Scheniederlin we paid 25m for and 45 for sigurdsson - so thats 100-110m for our central midfield and it looks like a group of pub players

45m For Sigurdsson, Gabriel jesus - 23m, Ricarlison cost 13m, Salah cost 35m, we basically made the single worst purchase in the clubs history paying that amount ultimately...

Koeman wasted the best opportunity in a transfer window we ever had. Or Walsh did. Whoever. Shambles.

TSN3. Whatever that is.

found it on Bein Sports Arabia 11....might always try watch on their channels as they pop up clips of the other goals as they go in and are even going thru the championship scores at ht

 

[royvernon39]

Why is Baines still taking corner kicks? It looked just like the Leicester goal. A dopey, under-hit corner and off Zaha went.

Why is Keane still getting caught on the wrong side of tackles? Just like the Watford goal.

And is Pickford really worth so much dosh? Both goals were dodgy.

And Schderlein cannot make a decent forward pass. Makes me pine for Barry.

Unsworth needs to be a magician to make this bunch of ill-assorted underachievers into a team.

 

[bluestevon]

It's a horrific amount of money when you compare him to those players , i'd be firing anyone who played any part in this summers recruitment, only the keeper looks anywhere near worth what we paid for him.

keanes good but inn woeful form and confidence crashed by playing alongside turtles, sigurdsson is woeful absolutely woeful and 2 dms needs to be binned off forever
