Hodgey Posted 16 September, 2017 Share Posted 16 September, 2017 Great performance so far - shame Redmond and Tadic haven't been able to do much from a lot of decent positions. Also well done to Davis, yes he has faded a bit but he led from the front and set the pace first 15. Highlights as mentioned Lemina who has been immense and Hoets amazing cross field passing.

hypochondriac Posted 16 September, 2017 Share Posted 16 September, 2017 What I will say though is that palace are the opposite of Watford. I wouldn't be confident if we play a team who employ the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlanta Saint Posted 16 September, 2017 Share Posted 16 September, 2017 Schlupp is making Tadic look good. He's having a mare, need to take advantage of him at left back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertyell Posted 16 September, 2017 Share Posted 16 September, 2017 Dominated without looking overly threatening - haven't used Long's pace enough; frankly our counter attacking has been nonexistent. Too many times the likes of Redmond slow the play, turn back on themselves and then pass backwards. We need to turn our possession into another goal - we've got a defensive wobble in us that'll give Palace a chance. Still, we're winning a game of football having scored an actual goal, so be grateful for small mercies. Hoedt's distribution has been superb.

Chris27687 Posted 16 September, 2017 Share Posted 16 September, 2017 A second goal is essential. I will be disappointed if we don't score another. Palace have been shocking. Can see Gabby coming on and grabbing 1 or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 16 September, 2017 Share Posted 16 September, 2017 Lemina & Howdt impressive, but they e had the freedom of Selhurst Park. Palace can't be as sh*te 2nd half. Need another goal (however we can get it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, we're winning a game of football having scored an actual goal, so be grateful for small mercies. Hoedt's distribution has been superb. Agree with all of this. MP needs to tell Tadic and Redmond to shoot more and let long and davis get the rebounds. Instead they try an over elaborate pass and the move breaks down.

OttawaSaint Posted 16 September, 2017 Share Posted 16 September, 2017 Hmm. I'm still not sold on Cedric, terrible pass when he was charging through the middle, then he tried a Zidane move and luckily Lemina bailed him out. We know he can't shoot and I find his crossing weak. We should cash in on him next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
