Hodgey Posted 16 September, 2017 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 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.
Atlanta Saint Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 Schlupp is making Tadic look good. He's having a mare, need to take advantage of him at left back
qwertyell Posted 16 September, 2017 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 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.
SuperSAINT Posted 16 September, 2017 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).

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.
Saint Benali Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 So far playing really well. But let's not kid ourselves Palace have been poor. Think they are as good as relegated already.
OttawaSaint Posted 16 September, 2017 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.
SuperSAINT Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 We make it so hard for ourselves sometimes....
BotleySaint Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 Wouldn't take much to turn this game around. We still pose little threat coming forwards.
Lighthouse Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 So far playing really well. But let's not kid ourselves Palace have been poor. Think they are as good as relegated already. Nah, Sunderland spent years playing this badly until November and still staying up.
saintsmike25 Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 We were lucky then - we keep shooting ourselves in the foot by overplaying. We have long just play into channels!
Saint_clark Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 All started from us passing back when we were breaking away, leaving 4 players beyond the ball.
obelisk Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 Sometimes a clearance down the pitch is what is required. No fannying around.
davefoggy Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 **** me that was a hell of a save! FF dived before the Palace shot even came in, it just hit him!!!
Donatello Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 Their best two chances have been gifted by Redmond and Romeu. I'm not sure if that's encouraging or not :s
5string Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 Oof my nerves have set off again after all that. Palace are pressing hard. We need another goal.
The Saint Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 OK, a bit of Fantasy Football.... If we had beaten Watford, we'd be a point clear at the top of the PL... Just sayin'....
Bad Wolf Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 Wish the commentator would stop with the "Long puns. Or at least stop explaining them. We get the idea ffs
5string Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 It seems to be raining quite heavily there.
tajjuk Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 We slow it down too much, that advantage with Davis being fouled we just slowed it right down.
OttawaSaint Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 Lemina is quickly becoming my favourite player.
BotleySaint Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 Lemina justifying being our record signing so far today. Immense.
Shance Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 Lemina has been quality. Hoedt looking good as well.
OttawaSaint Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 We slow it down too much, that advantage with Davis being fouled we just slowed it right down. I know it was wide open and Palace were scrambling. We then let them regroup.
Jimmy_D Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 Lemina's been awesome today, can see why people were comparing him to Schniederlin when we were linked with him.
Bad Wolf Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 Lemina's been awesome today, can see why people were comparing him to Schniederlin when we were linked with him. More of a Wanyama type IMO.
OttawaSaint Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 Longs hold up play has been very good . Lack of composure from Tadic though.
adrian lord Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 More of a Wanyama type IMO. Technically far better.
OttawaSaint Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 About time we thundered a heade in from a corner.
Bad Wolf Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 Did the commentator just say Lemina was left out last week in De Boar's last game in charge? :/
Bad Wolf Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 Technically far better. Wanyama got technically better as he went on.
mrfahaji Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 Alan Parry just said "Lemina was LEFT OUT in what proved to be Frank de Boer's last game as Palace manager against Watford. Sorry, I got a bit mixed up there, it was Ward-Prowse who was left out, the Palace man." 100% of that passage was wrong
Shance Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 More of a Wanyama type IMO. He's way more of a Schniederlin type but he's just bigger.
5string Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 Did the commentator just say Lemina was left out last week in De Boar's last game in charge? :/ Yup. Same commentator who said Hoedt blocked Tadic's pass when it was actually Dann.
tajjuk Posted 16 September, 2017 Posted 16 September, 2017 Tadic is so slow. Think some subs to freshen some legs.
