Excellent first half, battling second half - Palace didn't have a shot on target until 80 minutes, we controlled that midfield despite their possession. I'm a believer
work rate is at least 30% high than under Deano's reign, and for once we are not overrun in midfield, the commentator saying Palace second best to Villa's Midfield, waited for years to hear that. Palace will be up for this 2nd half, get an early goal and put this game ot bed. I do think we need to them under pressure to get corners, they are weak from set pieces
I didn't want Gerrard, mainly due to lack of experience but now he is here I'll support him. He certainly won't get as much support as Deano when / if things go south. He's got a massive job on his hands, I do hope he can handle the pressure.
It's not Bizarre behavior at all, it's the same every time we appoint a new manager, so in favor, others not, but to call it Bizarre behavior is not correct. It's also not irrational, if anything, its human behavior.
