At home yes, but I had the life squeezed out of me up Sunderland. Like being involved in a car crash in slow motion, whilst on fire and simultaneously drowning in my own vomit. Palace was our best performance of the season and certainly under Garde by quite a distance. We've also yet to prove we can do it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not a good enough team for that. We're still going to have games between now and the end of the season where we're **** dreadful. That's just because we are crap Newcastle was away and there were signs there that we were definitely improving, even though the result should have been better.

Newcastle was away yes, but I was so horrifically hungover I'd forgotten that! I think we've only lost Arsenal and Watford at home under Remi? Should have won that bloody Watford game too, we were much the better side. Stupid individual errors cost us. No lack of application though. I've just realised Southampton was away too. Hard earned point that. That the last 2 away games I've been to are Tottenham and Sunderland doesn't help my mindset! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although we've turned out a few half decent away performances, the last three were Norwich, Sunderland and Wycombe. Doesn't bode well for Saturday.

Do we have another in us though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair - Everton is the only league game since Remi has took over where we have been poor. You could argue that Southampton were wasteful and that could easily have been 3-0 or 4-0, but as you say we dug in and got a point. Arsenal, Sunderland and Norwich - we didn't play that badly - we just made terrible mistakes. We could easily have won against West Ham, Newcastle and Watford. If we've cut out the mistakes now, in general we look quite solid at the back, so there's no reason why we can nick a few wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about anyone else but I just wanted to start seeing signs that he could have a positive impact on this club.

Sunderland picked us off on the break, and we suffered at Norwich from being very poorly organised at the back - which we seem to have got past now with Lescott and Okore together.

What happens to that good will? Not a dig at you, just wondering. When a manager has my faith and respect it takes a lot for me to then turn on them. Perhaps I'm too loyal, I'd have only sacked Lambert 2 weeks before the club did for example and it wouldn't have cost me £4m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
