Crystal Palace 1-1 LCFC - Post Match Thread

[Ian Nacho]

Time to go Kelechi. Lost us two points today. 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

So bored of getting excited at results against the better teams then ****ing it against the dross. This is the most frustrating city side of my lifetime because we know what they're capable of. I think I'd rather us just get results as we'd expect to rather than this up and down crap.

[Trav Le Bleu]

We need a third striking option or an upgrade on Iheanacho. Which I realise is difficult, getting a player better than him who would be willing to warm the bench.

Pérez was good.

Really, I forgot he was playing second half.

[Fox85]

4 players needed to stay competitive in January.

 

Some of these results against some of the shite teams we have played is ****ing questionable.

 

Threw away 3 points today should of started our strongest side and made changes to rest them at half time.

[lgfualol]

We're a weird club. They were there for the taking first half but were miles better than us second half, so much so I feel we are lucky to get a point.

[Fox42]

In amongst all the overreaction, I’m gonna shine a light. Great reaction from going a goal down when fielding a more inferior side. We now have plenty of recovery time before the Newcastle game. Could be better but could be much worse. We roll on.

Stood up for Kel long enough. Get a proper striker in.

Do not care what hone says, we cannot function with just one unless we plan to retire Vardy early.

Not trying to be daft here, could we mould Barnes into a number 9?

[shen]

Mark Lawrenson called it. Disappointing and maybe the first time that our squad players let us down a bit. Amartey completing 90 mins and being decent was a big plus. Barnes, Justin and Thomas all with good performances. Kelechi, Hamza, Gray, Perez all showing they should not be starting.

[Lcfc82]

Another bad result against a really poor side. If we had started with vardy and youri instead of hamza and iheanacho we would of had it won by half time.

[whoareyaaa]

2 points dropped.

 

Amartey was good, Barnes brilliant again.

 

Nacho shite! cost us really

[Sunbury Fox]

That's 2 points chucked away. 

[Corky]

Poor second half and thankful Barnes stepped up again. At least we didn't throw in another limp defeat. Some players seemed to do ok, others not. On the radio commentary, it seemed Amartey, Mendy and Perez did well, Gray and Iheanacho not.

 

On a wider note, I really hope there is a change next year to the Christmas to New Year schedule. We shouldn't be playing twice in 49 hours, it was twice in 45 hours last year. There should be a minimum three days between matches. You really are in the lap of the TV Gods at this time, more than usual, which isn't right.

[Col city fan]

Brenda made too many changes

It was clear we started playing after the introduction of Tielemans and Vardy and we’d have gone on to win the game if there’d have been another ten minutes 

Nacho was utter garbage, defensively we were all over the place for their goal and Praet/Perez went missing im afraid

Pleased to get a point having been one down, but they were there for the taking

January window striker please.

[Fox in the North]

That line up works if we have a viable second striker. The whole set up would have worked fine had the obvious chances been put away. It gave Palace the impetuous to get back in the game and we always have a wobble when we concede. 
 

I think Under would have come on if he had been fit. We do need a suitable second striker in the January window. Just the question is who is available?

For doing what? He played 90 mins and did nothing in a game where we were screaming for quality in the final 3rd.

[don_danbury]

considering rodgers fked the line up im happy with a point. second in the league too. 

[bfox]

I’m sure grays argument was that he can get the dip with his technique, either way he’s another Nacho. Does nothing most of the time 

[kingfox]

Story of that match...

 

Amartey and Mendy took their chance, both were excellent.

Unsurprisingly Iheanacho and Gray didn’t take theirs.

 

Time to cut ties with Iheanacho in January, time we got in Vardy’s understudy. 

[Blanchflower78]

Villa make no changes to their side. Keep the momentum....  Rodgers fully upstaged today.

[ian__marshall]

Feel for Kel. Striker's are massive confidence players and his lack of game time showed there. Really positive performances from Big Dan, Thomas, and Mendy. Sadly too many changes cost us the game. 

[foxes_rule1978]

It was garbage today, against an awful team... did nothing in that second half until Barnes scored late on 

[Arriba Los Zorros]

Shame to drop 2 points against that shower. Still at least Harvey showed up to save us. Not a disaster.

We won’t face a worse team than Palace all season. Massive wasted opportunity that.

We've played half a dozen sides that bad in 2020. And got f all from them! 

 

I actually dread games against relegation fodder these days.
