Match Threads Crystal Palace vs Spurs - FA Cup Match Thread

[Dennism]

I thought that useless Llorente was supposed to be able to take penalties. Apparently not. He truly can do nothing.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Although he has been our best attacking player, every time I watch Lucas I'm always left thinking he's just not good enough. I'm really, really trying to stop myself from being too critical. I'm just struggling more each game. Hopefully he will come out second half and prove me wrong. I really want to like him

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

That was fun..... poch doesn't have much choice in selection. He cannot keep.flogging the few fully fit first teamers he has. The rotation left to him is beyond poor, but if still expect more.quality from The players out there.

In some.ways I'll be more.furious if they play well the second half. As it'll.mean that there is a.fundamental problem.with their motivation for a full 90.

Not much he can do really.

 

[Ashen]

Sorry, Kyle walker is limited player who has lots of pace. That's it. I don't get it.

 

[Ekmek]

Llorente is a good penalty taket wtf did Trippier take it?

 

[JimmyG2]

Worst half this season
possibly worst half under Poch.
Possibly worst half ever.

 

[Paceyjg]

How can janssen be any worse then llorente?

Poch needs to explain that one again

To be fair once again he has zero service! We choose to pass backwards rather then get crosses into the box!

 

[dk-yid]

Well over half a first eleven of our best players (Lloris, Rose, Sissoko, Son, Eriksen, Dele, Kane). You (and several others) can bleat on all you like about how "weak" our squad is, but it won't make it true.

Well we are clearly shit when these players are gone. Plus the reason that some of that lot is injured is because we can't rotate because... Drum roll... Our backups are not good enough.
Wind your neck and open your eyes.

On the flip side of you think this is good enough well you would have loved us in the 90's.

 

[John48]

We've been rubbish, but it should be 2 all.

 

[anydange]

Thought we played well

 

[amathews3416]

Well, 45 minutes from this just being a complete throw away season as we are certainly crashing out of CL.

Top four will be on the brink.
Out of every major cup competition
No new move into stadium
No new signings
Poch potentially leaving in the Summer
Eriksen and Toby each with one foot out the door.

 

[Haddock]

Horrorshow so far.

 

[spursbhoy67]

Just write the script right now:
Spurs did a Spursy on Thursday.
Arsenal outdid them on Friday.
West Ham outdid both on Saturday.
Spurs said we want our title back on Sunday.

 

[SugarRay]

Wickham has not scored for 799 days!

How can janssen be any worse then llorente?

Poch needs to explain that one again

It's apparantly a problem with his attiude.

 

[dagraham]

We started well

We kept the ball, but did nothing with it. Which I’m not surprised about as we’re playing with 3 CB’s, Skipp and Dier in front and a WB on totally his wrong side.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Knew we’d struggle with that bunch of shit line up.
•Trippier hasn’t been good enough for ages and that penalty was fucking embarrassing.
•Sorry but I have 0 faith in Kyle Walker Peters, I’ll hold my hands u if he blossoms in a few years but I just cannot see it, he’s too small to be a full back, he doesn’t have enough pace, his decision making for a 21yr old is awful, not the required level we need AT ALL!
•Skippyyboy is average at best right now and at 18 etc I don’t expect much more but he’s not going to change this game for us, nor is Dier, that midfield duo is so lacking in creativity and drive.
•Nklueless, is exactly that. No wonder he’s been frozen out etc. Sure against Fulham he put a half decent last minute cross in but come on, most professional footballers should be able to do that, his technique is so so bad, that shot he missed was a prime example.
•Lucas is ok but can’t do it on his own, needs good players around him
•Llorente is ok but he doesn’t suit how we play and crosses and diagonal balls will be eaten up by that palace defence.

So dog shit players out there today but Poch surely needs to take a bit of blame for picking such a weak side, could Eriksen/Winks etc really not start or at least put eriksen on the bench?

Also yet another shit first half.

Penalty miss has possibly killed any chance we had in this game.

Big 2nd half needed to just get a draw.

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

Just like we all knew we’d lose the penalty shootout, we all knew that he’d miss that spot kick.

 

[Saoirse]

No good having a pop at levy he won't be bothered by today he goal is long term commercial success this shambles today is on the manager and players.

There's one thing every commerically succesful team has in common. They win trophies. It's fun and it's good to watch. What kind of fucking lunatic tuning into the Premier League from America or India for the first time right now would decide to support a team that doesn't even particularly want to win a cup?! It was one thing when we were up-and-coming, but this is totally stagnant.

 

[freeeki]

We're not great but it should be 2-2.

No it shouldn’t.

We let a right back take a penalty. We deserved to miss it.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Trippier no words

Doesn’t surprise me, he’s really not that good.
