  1. I thought it was ours when the whistle blew, was a bit baffled when suddenly they were taking it and running the goal in.
  2. Played some good long passes, didn't really drive forward or break the lines with quick balls to feet, though obviously that's more difficult against a team so bunkered down.
  3. Otoh, his holdup play set up one of our few clear shots on goal, which Ollie should've done better with. He's being sent on to mix it physically with the opposition, he's just going overboard.
  4. Too many extra changes with Kamara out, meaning backline lacked protection and comfortable patterns of play, leading to yet another sloppy concession and the inability to build fluidly going forward. We do have to rotate but it hasn't really worked yet. I'd like to see a full replay of the disallowed goal. Digne knocks it down from inside the defender and from the reverse angle didn't look off. One of the worst reffing performances we've had in ages. They inarguably should've been down to 10, arguably down to 9 in the first, then were permitted to incessantly foul Watkins, Bailey, etc.
  5. We were clearly looking for one in Summer with all the links to Ugarte, Adams, etc. If we find a move for Donk, I think we'll be back in for one.
  6. We want to be envoy of the leading online sports betting agency registered in Curaçao and Malta.
  7. Two yellows in the middle and Dougie hoping to avoid one hasn't helped, nor has the ref failing to book them for the same or worse.
  8. Offside Trap needs his own thread, man of the match performance.
  9. Amusingly, I went to a Palace forum to see how mad/depressed they were and they all thought he was terrible and the main reason they lost (aside from refball) due to him losing the ball a lot. Eerily familiar.
  10. Ollie and Cash should've had two each, have to sharpen up the finishing. Just a bit too lax.
  11. Covers wide and 10, would make a lot of sense with Emi injured and Phil + Phil(ogene) out the door.
  12. I don't think we'd sell him in Jan as too many games to play and no true alternative in the squad, but if he still hasn't signed a contract by then, I wouldn't be surprised were we to sell him in the Summer. Club won't want to let him walk to a rival for nothing.
  13. Surprised he didn't put it through the hoop made by the keeper and the defender's leg there just for laughs. Start him every game.
  14. I saw "Douglas Luiz broke" and almost stopped reading.
  15. Clearly a dive. Lets his legs go when he feels the slightest contact. Where's VAR?
  16. Tbf, this strategy looks pretty viable at the moment.
  17. Last year offseason he said something in an interview about having to manage his game time due to his knee as he did his ACL a few years back, he may not be physically able to play as many games as we need.
  18. Just does not look happy playing out of pressure.
  19. Assuming we can only go for one (and neither go to Saudi and/or Barca somehow), Laporte for another left-footer or Foyth for the right with Carlos moving left if needed? Laporte's the better player on the whole but the ability to cover right back and knowing Emery's system already may be of real value.
  20. Poor performance and Mings injury a disaster, but what is the point of playing an offside trap with calls like that? If that's the new standard, we might as well bring back the kick through and Sheffield Rules.
