CMorley91 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Worries here... Team looks very imbalanced. Hope not playing McCarthy doesnt hurt us but so far it looks a mistake... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I get ya! He overplays it. Reminds me of a young Ronaldo. Does the hard stuff...then wants to do it again. Lukakus donkey touch seems to be back. The other concern for me is that naturally Mirallas and Gerry arent the most determined to track back. With a lack of McCarthey thats a mixture for disaster surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoblue Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 We need the next goal and it sounds like we're being outworked here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMorley91 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I've kept quiet up to now but deulofeu isn't as good as everyone makes out. He really really frustraites me and I can not see what everyone else can see in him. Dont hurt me. After that break now, I couldnt agree more. Easy pull back to McGeady but Ger had to take on his man.... Not the correct option every time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Gerry n mcgeady/mirallas need to swap sides. They just lookin to go on the outside all the time...they need to be coming inside and whack the fucker!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 We're playing three players behind the striker who all want to go it alone, it's their game. We need to take one of them off and get Barkley inbetween Mcgeady and Mirallas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) We're moving the ball forward with pace...maybe too much pace. This is the opposite to vs. Arsenal when we took our time and controlled the pace of the game. The difference is huge.

chicagoblue Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 McCarthy for Barry and Naismith for Gerry, or? Aidan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 gerry is pissing me off, same move every time and HE PUTS HIS HEAD DOWN, for the love of pete keep your head up and look about to see your F'ING TEAMMATES. so selfish, i'd have him off and put naisy on and go 433. if we lose champs because of crystal shitbox palace i am going to lose my shit.

Newty82 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 1 down at half time. On paper this line up is amazing. But you need the players to turn up. Lukaku has been horrendous. Most balls to his feet bounce off 5 yards! Something isnt right here, cant put me finger on what but this should work, it really should. Is it too much of a change from how we normally set up?

Bailey Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Frustrating so far and the story of the game so far is that their wide players have simply been better when it matters. We can still win this game even though its going to be desperately difficult against a team that packs 10 players in the 18 yard box. We need our creative players to be smart and not become too keen. Naismith is a must to play alongside Lukaku in the 2nd half. I would be tempted to take McGeady off because he is really annoying me with a couple of his lazy passes and thoughtless runs.

Steve_E Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Both of their chances are the result of Bolasie's power against one of our full backs. He goes past Baines using his strength for the goal and he uses his strength to get a long ball down against Coleman for his shot against the post. Don't really know what you could do to stop that. Eventually get Naismith on for Deulofeu and play with Mirallas on the left, Naismith in the middle and McGeady on the right. I'd keep things like they are for a while though. It's the quality of the crosses and other incisive passes that's letting us down so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Now let's see if we are worthy of being in the top four! We need to come out and make a statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 we have too many selfish players. gerry and mirallas don't work well in the same lineup, they just hog the ball and it goes nowhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoof_It_Nev Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Crystal Palace aren't letting us play our game, not giving us any space and getting loads of men behind the ball. Most attacks are like 4 v 8. I think we do actually need McCarthy to settle the midfield and retain possession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue 250 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Wil we ever score from a corner ! Plenty of early scraps in the palace penalty area, cheif scavenger Naismith sitting on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msloan78 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I've been quietly impressed with Mcgeady in the right parts of the pitch. Has looked a little careless coming out of our own half, but I think he's definitely capable of a little bit of magic in and around the box. Really missing Mcarthy's protection of the back 4 so far too, but think we've had enough possession and created opportunities to get the ball in the right place.... Palace will tire second half and (fingers crossed) we'll win 2/3-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most attacks are like 4 v 8. I think we do actually need McCarthy to settle the midfield and retain possession. We've had 65% possession. And they've had the ball in our half like 5 times in the entire half. Barkley is having a good game as well in his position imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2i0 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 0-1 but i like this lineup, McGeady's spin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rusty747 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 This is now going to be very difficult. Palace have something to defend, they are very good at doing just that and they also carry a threat on the break. Next 45 mins will define our season. If we can turn this around and get the win then champions league beckons. Anything less and we won't deserve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Martinez just needs to be clear what he expects these attacking creative players to do...there is always a hinderance with attacking flair players that they love to have the ball...so 3 of them is going to create a bit of greed. Whats annoying is they are looking for the outside run and cross every time. But the cross is either shit or no one reads it. Naismith on.....gerry off??? Should be more balanced.

Brett Angel Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 This needs my mate naisy. Lukaku frustrating the fuck out of me again. Is it just me or has lukaku lost every ball that's been played into his feet so far? He thinks he's a technically gifted Spaniard. NO, he's a monster, now start putting yaself about like a fucking monster and if not get off the fucking field and get the next train back to houston you pathetic bellend.
