Crystal Palace (A) - Match Thread

Nacho genuinely looks like a Sunday league player half the time.. his ball control is so bad

[Tielemans63]

I think we've been really good this half. Must be hard to take for the rest of the team to see Nacho butchering those chances though. 

[Larry_LCFC]

Nacho best walk out after half time in a tracksuit. We need Vardy otherwise this has a massive L written all over it. We will change things when it is too late to recover.

Nothing unlucky about it, dross.

It wasn't great, but I'm trying this new thing: actually supporting our players even when they do things wrong.

I just hope that miss doesn't rock Iheanacho's confidence 

He doesn´t have any.....

Mendy has been great

Need to score before HT. Not going to be as dominant in the second half surely.

Definitely 0-0 at half time gives roy the chance to adjust and they can draw confidence. No let up regardless,

[bluefox1]

Vardy on please 4 the second half.

What confidence? He looked a bag of nerves when he picked the ball up for that penalty

I think we have to remember that he definitely isn't a 9; actually does better coming in from or working the channels, or slightly off a no 9.

 

 

When he first turned up he described himself as a 10. He's not a bad one tbh. 

 

He's not a 9, agreed. 

[cruzFOX]

Bloody hell how are we not winning this game? we're gonna get tired out from creating all these chances and not taking them

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Controlled the game, just need a finisher on the pitch.

[Zear0]

Not the best shot Harvey. Least he gave it a go.

[Gravel]

Oh Barnes. Wasteful

[lgfualol]

Barnes long shots are worse than Ndidis

what confidence he hasn't had any for a long time.

[Nalis]

This isnt one of those West Ham /Everton games where the opposition just played well and strangled us defensively with a well worked game plan.

 

These guys look slightly dangerous on the break but they're quite open at the back. No excuses not to win this one really.

[Stevosevic]

Should have played Vardy. Game would be won.

 

Then you can take him off.

Lovely turn early on, some nice runs and show of strength; but yeah, the penalty miss won't have helped.

 

Confidence is a fleeting and fragile thing.

[An Away Move]

The pace of our attack is slowing down, which is a shame as it has been really good at times. Evans is always the worst for slowing us down looking for the right pass.

Didn’t look like he had any to begin with. 
 

Ive reached the point where I’m thinking it was a mistake to leave Big Slim out of the squad. 

[justfoxes]

Brendan needs to sort a few things around half time we should be beating this team at least 0-3 by now it’s so frustrating because we know we should be winning this !!

[CloudFox]

Barnes trying to make things happen and Thomas looking pretty good today. Good combo down that left hand side. JJ doing well too I think.

We haven’t been ‘really good’ mate

Football is about scoring goals and we’ve not looked like doing so

Fortunately Palace have been awful
