Popular Post Aidan Posted September 26, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Can we just all agree that if the penalty was against us we'd be annoyed? Thats the way you have to look at it. No unnatural position, no intent, no reaction time. No penalty. The fact that people now think it is makes me genuinely upset to see the modern game going that way. badaids, Vranny, Btay and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Zoo 2.0 Posted September 26, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Quote from Johan Cruyff that has always stuck with me - ''The rules are made by those who have never played the game''. I'm sorry but anyone thinking that's a penalty needs to give their head a wobble, I don't care that we've benefitted the game has gone and that's an absolute farce. Defenders cannot play properly with their arms cellotaped to their sides, Kelly did absolutely nothing wrong there and it's a joke that they even looked at it twice, nevermind called the referee over to look at it and then give the penalty. It's benefitted us here, but it'll go against us later in the season and against every team every single week. We'll be seeing 3-4 penalties a game at this rate, it's just an utter shambles. Those behind this ''rule-change'' are blokes who got picked last on the school playground and now get their kicks from making up shite like this. Fucking abysmal in every sense of the word.

Btay Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Doucoure has had a bit of a nightmare. James is running the show though. Richarlison really needs to sharpen up some of his general play. Need another goal in this one. Also, really hope we don’t sign Zaha.

They I don’t think you know how physics works. Anyway, 1-2 up and mostly the better team. Lucky pen brilliantly taken. A sublime opening goal. Some sloppy moments from Doucoure and Allan ironically, apart from their goal, Keane has been fantastic. Everyone has mostly been very, very good Btay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 I think the reason we look a bit ragged is because Palace are just so awkward. They defend in numbers, they are always niggling away and in attack they can break at pace. We have done really well to stop their counter attacks, the only time they really cut us open Eze made a crap pass when he should have taken the shot on. I think everyone is playing well enough nd working hard however the quality is from James. DCL is very quiet again but when we needed him he put the ball in the net. If we can show a little more quality we can put this game to bed. Doucoure is switching off at times and I'm not completely comfortable with Mina up against Zaha. He already beat him off for the chance I talked about and I can see him getting somewhere against him this second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you can always expect a Hodgson team to be well organised and they have enough attacking talent that they will always be a threat. We'll need at least one more goal to stop my balls squirming this half. Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To their credit they are a very physical, athletic team and I think they will do okay this season. They lack any real quality in midfield though and rely a lot on Ayew/Zaha. We just need to be a bit better on the ball and we could get a few here. James has played 2 key passes that lead to both goals, won’t get assists for them but he created both situations. Richarlison should have been in 1v1 if his touch was better. Quality, quality player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 We need to see this game out now. Palace wont break us down if we allow them to come on to us then we can hit them on the break with the pace of dom and Ritchie. Id say lets sit in with a 442 but that would limit James impact for us.

Zoo 2.0 Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Hope Ancelotti gives them a little bit of a telling off too, take away that farcial penalty and it's 1-1. Despite an unbelievable first 10 or so minutes we've looked poor IMO. Very sloppy in and around our own half and not really dealing with anything that Palace throw at us, with a bit more quality we'd have some more questions asked of us I feel. Doucoure is looking proper shite, would give him a rocket with the idea of bringing on Sigurdsson if he doesn't turn things around before the hour mark. Gomes looks OK but a bit lethergic, another one that just needs a bit of a rocket. Allan and James doing well along with DCL and Charlie (though the latter needs a boot kicking at him for their goal). Defensively we look OK, but I just don't have faith in us to see out a one-goal lead with what happened against Fleetwood. Sounds very easy for me to say, but a nice early goal to make it 3-1 and then shut up shop would be ideal. dunlopp9987 and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
