Palace Match Thread

[CaliFOXnia]

Honestly when it’s good, it’s very good. How you can watch this and say there hasn’t been an improvement from Cooper, I have no idea. 
 

We just need that extra bit of composure when it comes to an end product and to keep the concentration levels at the back.

 

Come on City 🦊

[WigstonWanderer]

Vardy’s been much more involved than usual though perhaps not quite sharp enough 

[The Guvnor]

Bossed the first half 

Finishing once again the problem

[joeybside]

Sadly for all endeavour and the huff and puff, I can’t see us winning this. We have a huge issue tonight up top with Vardy and are susceptible to a huge gaff at the back. Better composure in front of goal see either team in front. I massively hope I’m wrong. At least we are trying tho. 

[Aus Fox]

Excellent half, we’ve got a game plan and are sticking to it really well. We look by far the better team, just need to take our chances when they come our way. 

[Groby_Blue]

Encouraging half. They look like they're trying. Another day we'd be two or three up now. 

 

Need to make it count and absolutely need to not lose. Another loss after playing so well would be utterly soul destroying for the players.

• Soumare has been excellent so far. I just wish he'd keep going with his long legs when going forward.

Personally think he's been pretty poor today. Very laboured on the ball and caught out a couple of times

[copunk]

Probably the best half of football we've seen all season 

Just need that bit of cutting edge going forward 

[Tom12345]

Good build ups but poor decision making in the final third. 

 

Mavididi should have passed a few times but didn’t.

 

Vardy also.

 

We must improve in that department if we want to get a goal.

Does not really matter, its for his sake.

is he injured ?

I worry Palace will up it second half and we’re due a brain fart at the back. 

[lcfcdamo]

By far the better team just got to take our chances 

[Clever Fox]

Ayew to come on and score against his old Club.

[kingfox]

More encouraging signs but this team is crying out for a bit more pace to be injected into it. 

[Lionator]

11 shots v 4 conceded. Compare to the Cooper days and the West Ham game it’s clear progress. Just need to create better chances 

[Fazzer 7]

Nothing to show for a half decent half. 

[Ian Nacho]

We just lack that final pass and bit of quality.

[when_you're_smiling]

We’re not going to get too many games where we get so much space going forward with the opposition looking a bit all over the place (possibly due to losing Chalobah).

 

We really need to make it count.

Missing Fatawu big time down the right

No idea, but you don`t think he is due a rest then?

Told you Ayew winner of the bench

He has to release the ball earlier. So much good work in relieving the pressure but he is absolutely killing us in transition. Holding on for too many touches and turning the ball over far too often in dangerous areas. 
 

Concerning. 

The same with Mav, he’s not good enough to be a lone wolf. If he brought others into the game when they are open then he would be a better player. He’s allergic to passing the ball to someone on the over lap 

[Tielemans63]

Some really nice patterns of play emerging.

Feels bloody great don't it?

[dmayne7]

Happy with this approach if we are prepared to really crank up the last 20/30 mins. Do still need to move it a little quicker at times.
