Crystal Palace match thread.

Puel doesn’t half make it hard to defend him  

 

I dont see much logic behind that line up at all, hope I’m spectacularly surprised 

[Sharpe's Fox]

Morgan walks straght back in as soon as the squad unrest rumours start turning up in the papers again. How weak is Puel, though?

Puel is losing the plot. Someone explain the logic in bothering not drop Wes for one game, to then just reinstate him. Just don't see the point, not that I buy into the Dragovic is amazing and Wes is awful shite you get on here, saints still walked through is twice and should have scored. 

 

Hamza over Silva, surely we need to give Silva time and games? From what I've seen Hamza won't make it at this level.

If the reports are true in the press about Puel not explaining his decisions to the players, then no wonder they're as bewildered as we are about team selections.

[Bernieboots76]

I can't get my head around the constant tinkering that Puel is doing in every match.  What was the point of leaving Morgan out in the last match and brining him back in this one it makes no sense. And surely does not give anyone in the club from the owners to the fans any real confidence in him at the moment,

[Alex_LCFC]

Rather Albrighton than simpson. 

[Foxxed]

Chilwell, Gray, Hamza and Ian. If nothing else, our youth aren't rotting in the u23s.

How can anybody stick up for Puel now?

 

As I said earlier in the week, I was told (Because I simply can't listen to him) that apparently in his interview he said Morgan wasn#t dropped, simple rested because of the quick succession of games, I fully expected Morgan to be back today after hearing that, how can anybody support the decision.

Managers rarely come out and slate a single player or say they are "dropped", the resting stuff was clearly nonsense as the games weren't anywhere even close to each other. He was dropped without question in my mind. 

[Old Fox]

Right winger at Full Back and a Left Back who is completely hopeless defensively with their two dangers as wide men.....I personally can live with our Captain back as I don't get the Dragovic love in but I do not understand how Chilwell keeps getting selected 

[Edingleyfox]

Wonder if Puel thinks Silva is too lightweight against a powerful Palace side.All looks very defensive expect strikers will be isolated.Really miss Iborra and lack of Striker options.Not optimistic 

[FrankieADZ]

doesnt surprise me anymore with Puel, Morgan can just walk back into the team even after his recent poor performances and mistakes that have lead to goals, just because hes club captain doesnt mean he gets a pass to go straight back into the starting 11, 

 

feel sorry for Dragovic as imo you can see hes a better defender than Morgan too,

[whoareyaaa]

Does he pick the team from a magic hat each week or something?

So in that case he did the hard bit of 'dropping' him why bring him back now.

 

It just proves and makes him look like the idiot he is.

Name one manager we've ever had who's been able to drop him.

Awww what an absolutely adorable little cutie. x

[ZeGuy]

What the hell is this line-up? Morgan? Choudhury? Who's making the team?

[oxtonfox]

Our two flanks look defensively weak. Gary and Chilwell? Mahrez and Albrighton? I can see Mark doing more miles this afternoon than any other play today. I think he's a great trier but putting him up against Zaha with Morgan and Mahrez to help him is like asking a bunch of kids to shepherd a T-Rex

He was mostly  playing better under previous managers tbf

[UPinCarolina]

The die is cast. Puel is possibly coaching for his job, with the lineup. Hope he knows something the hive mind doesn’t.

 

I believe in Hamza though. Morgan baffles me.

Yes Morgan is well past it... however with it clear he is more than likely off in the summer, he deserves the last few games to captain the lads.

 

The season is done, nothing to play for now so may as well test a few things out.

[lee7]

I'm not able to quote word for word as I wasn't paying great attention but I swear radio Leicester said Puels asked the fans to look past results as he has a long term vision  I'm sorry but it's a results business ffs! 

[KingKoala]

Is it that Puel's future at this club is assured so he is trying something different?

[FLAN]

Still time to sack him before 3 

[Jimmy]

he left Morgan out when playing badly and the local media and Journalist ****** went nutty asking several questions about it when he said first time he'd been rested vs Soton, the only way Wes Morgan won't play is to not be here
