Palace 2-1 Saints - Match Thread

[Saint NL]

All over

Fuck off

[AlexLaw76]

game over

[Suhari]

Shit.

Good strike.

Fernandes needed to smash that clear.

[Saint_clark]

Big Les closest, turns his back on the shot.

[AlexLaw76]

Please, for the love of god, change the formation

Fuck sake. Ramsdale poor there, come and claim it.

His biggest weakness.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Just want this pointless season over and done with as quickly as possible

One of the things I hate most about the modern game... most players do it

Yep, this is awful.

[Viking Saint]

Bednarek and Armstrong off, Lallana and Archer on

[BotleySaint]

Problem with conceding is we aren't even creating chances to get back into the game.

[adrian lord]

Hopefully Juric can take us straight back up next season. 

[macca155]

Great strike from Eze, that's the sort of Premier League quality Saints don't have.

[OttawaSaint]

Another manager has come in with a pre made formation and then tried to force players into it. The attacking intent is better but this formation just invites pressure and we don't have the personnel to make it work. 

[bangkoksaint]

Is the honeymoon period over for Ivan 🙄. Our issues are so deep rooted and they’re not being solved this season. Onwards and upwards to next season in the Championship. 

[Chez]

horrible defending. Lots of people standing around doing nothing.

Because we've been practicing the lay off to the fullback in those situations for a year and a half.

[obelisk]

Far too easy for Palace. Route one stuff basically.

[hypochondriac]

My worry with this new manager and his style of play is that he will make us more defensive and possibly concede less but we will continue to create nothing. With zero goal threat does it really matter if we lose 5-0 or 2-1?

I'd hope he is not with us if he is wedded to the 3 CB thing....awful formation

Not in the slightest. This game isn't over yet. We've still improved massively under him.

When was the honeymoon period? 

[obelisk]

Another Saints corner comes to nothing.

[Saint_clark]

A nothing foul there from Fernandes, but the Palace players surround the referee and intimidate him into giving a yellow. We're too nice, should have surrounded the ref several times today.

[Matty's Caddy]

This ref actually taking the piss

Now ref is saying you can't push players over. So confusing.

[Saint In Cornwall]

Fernandes out for next match now

[Toussaint]

Kin ell, every contact on palace is a foul 

[St. Ciervo]

Thats a foul on Les, but that wasnt a foul on Ramsdale earlier... I am in upside down world. 

[pimpin4rizeal]

Ref is giving us nothing .. let’s palace dominate us but blows foul from any contact from us 

[Saint86]

This game sadly is a mismatch. We're being the big fat Sam treatment in front of a hostile crowd and moaning players, All paired with an atrociously weak ref. 

[OttawaSaint]

We're so low on quality, all over the park.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Fernandez gets a booking and so misses the next game. Not a foul.

Other end. Ref does it again.

[Saint NL]

Palace will go on and make this comfortable.

 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Fernandes' nose getting him into trouble again. Well done ref.

[Saint_clark]

That looked like a foul on Bednarek FFS. Should be a penalty.

[Sheaf Saint]

Oh fuck off. The refs are just trolling us now. That is never, ever, ever a yellow card for Fernandes.

[OttawaSaint]

And now pushing and fouling is allowed, in box. 

VAR checking...woooooo. fuck off!

The ref is so easily influenced by the crowd, the palace fans figured that out early and have used it very effectively 

[Suhari]

Let's get Archer on for AArma.

They are already comfortable 

[Obstacle1]

Surely Archer would be a better option than Armstrong

Guarantee we'll never see a replay of it.

Dowie sounds like he's having a stroke

[benjii]

Has Iain Dowie had a head injury?
