They've got a good team tbf. It's an odd one for me. They're well drilled but I don't think they're particularly good. I think if you do your jobs properly, make the right decisions and don't have a shit ref, you should beat them. edit: I do know what you mean though in terms of some Villa fans' comments prior to the game.

Not in the premier league Was on my mind walking back from the Bournemouth game, not clear to me it's the right combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where Smith has shown the most naivety imo when putting this squad together. They can't compete physically at all. Spurs, Everton (Wesley aside in that one) and now Palace have bullied us in that aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwdriver Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 not sure what lansbury is going to do. If we push up we will get countered if we sit back we lose. it's checkmate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is exactly what he's done today. Shit ref mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but given how average Palace have been you could see that this game represented an opportunity to get something out of it had we not been so incompetent.

sne Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Never even looked close to getting anything from this game. A nothing performance, not a single positive thing to take from this game. Still time I guess but nah. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meregreen Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Jack can get away with being slow in the Championship, the Premiership is more unforgiving. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 31, 2019 Moderator Share Posted August 31, 2019 Pressing for a goal with ten men against a team that are as good on the counter as Palace is very difficult. Not that we've shown any signs of being good enough to do it anyway mind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Davis on was a bold choice and I can see what he was trying to do. It just hasn't worked out for us (although I think Davis has done his job well). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 2 minutes ago, Keyblade said: I remember why I didn't miss being in the PL. Every bad result is the end of the world. It's a long season. One lucky goal by a crap Palace isn't going to change that. It's because we haven't even given a crap Palace even one little thing to think about that I'm so concerned, not that we've lost the game. If you wanted to take positives from this performance, what could you take? Heaton maybe. Can't think of much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, they've been quite poor. We've been worse. These are the types of games we need to be winning if we're going to get 40 points on the board.

Palace's results really haven't been that bad. They lack goals, we lack goals - it was always going to be a tight game with the odd goal to win it. This place is pretty infuriating for bedwetting after any sort of bad result. Going to be a long season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Every cross we've put in has been pretty much stamped out, no service whatsoever to Wesley, our midfield as been way to ineffective today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
