Crystal Palace (04/07) Pre-Match Thread

Recommended Posts

We have to start winning soon 2nd half against Everton was encouraging some great play that we’re used to watching but unfortunately lacking the final finish of a goal, JV will hopefully score today get that damn elusive 100th premier league goal out of the bloody way and get back to what he does best !

 

We defiantly need to start winning with Chelsea a point away and having wolves at the door nipping at our heels it’s time to sort their shit out and win all our last few games, so today I’ll not predict the score I’ll just hopefully get to watch the game from work so hoping for a couple of hours to be left alone to either cheer or get upset !!

 

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS AND ALL THAT 💙🦊

I'm a 3-5-2 man myself , Bennett gets a game and adds another six footer to the team.

You know Man City are the shortest team in the league? Not saying height can’t help and actually I like the thought of trying 352 also but there was a study recently that I can’t be bothered finding that showed there is zero correlation between a teams’ height and performance. X

Maybe, but we show little threat in the air. I do remeber quite recently when Bayern thrashed Barcelona somebody said it was down to Barca being dominated in the air.

Yeah I understand and obviously height can help but when the study was carried out a couple of years ago the tallest teams were West Brom and Huddersfield and the shortest were Man City and also Liverpool were 4th shortest. Empirically, according for the study there was statistically zero significance on results of height. X

Christ god help us if Albrighton is anywhere near the team, never mind at right back. He is not a defender. He makes stupid fouls and his positioning is awful.

 

Hes also a player that looks very uncomfortable actually trying to play football. He only moves in 4 directions and his only move is to kick the ball high into the box, usually for the keeper to catch. 

Can definitely see him starting with Zaha on that side vs Justin unfortunately. We should just bin off wingers tbh, our wing play is indescribably shite.

Tall average players will do better than small average players across a team re the height advantage at set plays - but if you have a small team of above average players then that will, over the season, prevail 

 

physical size alone will not cover for poor technical ability

Which is exactly my point. Shoving a 6 footer in simply because he is 6 foot is pointless.

Palace at home was the last game I managed to get down to. What a ****ing horrible day it was as well. Was shitting through the eye of a needle because I’d had a few the night before, had to sit on a luggage rack on the train down and got a pint spilled on me in the pub before. Didn’t think it could get much worse then were served up a Claude Puel masterclass. 
 

 

Today cannot be any worse, at least.

Mad crosses would be ridiculous against Palace's 4 centrebacks

I have seen a similar study that reaches the same conclusion but about penis size. 

 

I carry it around with me in nightclubs.

 

 

 

 

edit - beaten to it.  :(

I am hoping for a few things t drop for us early today and therefore going for an optimistic:

 

3-1 Leicester

Vardy double and Soyuncu.

 

Crystal Palace will be a very difficult team to beat, but I think it is time our luck changed and a few things fell for us. Hopefully the catalyst for a winning run and getting over the line.

 

Keep the Faith. :)
