The Soaring Eagles v the Limping Saints Match Day Thread

Stek got a toe inury and ballaphobia, Pelle tired and carrying a knee injury

Given that Palace’s main threat comes from Bolasie and Saha on the wings I think 5 at the back is probably a good call.

I am usually a big fan of Ron’s but today I am very much thinking WTF?

Bit harsh if Stek is injured and Pelle has a knock. Tadic is often better off the bench too.

Hmmm but Yoshida? Apparently Gazza has made three good saves so fair play to him.

Shocking lack of marking for that. Too easy, and just as we had got into the game.

Arse. Well, the bright side is Gazza needed more first team experience. Getting it, I suppose.

Tadic on at half time?

Probably not untl the 2nd half :lou_wink:

sweaty fudge tubes.

Far, far too long since we were enjoyable to watch.

If we come away with a point I will be a happy bunny.

Story of the season so far. We’re just so blunt.

Mané has been dog shit again.

I’m beginning to get very very concerned for our season.

Shitey shite shite

Meh

We cant score and we are boring too watch (only watched a bit on the blag to be fair) as well, is this Van Gaal?

Thought Gazzaniga was excellent. Made some great saves. One dodgy moment early on with some poor communication but got better and better.

5 defenders and not one of them could get anywhere near Cabayé for their goal.

Otherwise, I thought the 3 centre backs did pretty well.

Our fullbacks are nowhere near as dangerous as they should be. Cedric had an ok game but didn’t make the most of some good possession in the final third.

Bertrand had a poor game for me though he did have his work cut out with Bolasie (told ya he’s awesome :lou_wink_2:), Saha and also the skate Ward who had an annoyingly good game.

Davis would have scored but for a worldy save from Hennessy. Ok game but bullied by Puncheon.

I thought Romeu had a good game. Always looks promising when I see him play.

Long had a couple of cracking chances and should have put one of them away. Wins a shit ton of freekicks.

This leaves Vic and Mané. Our 2 most influential players imho.

And they have both been shit for weeks.

And there you have why we are losing games like this and drawing with Villa.

Fine Margins.

COYS!

Oh, so _now _people will believe me when I tell them that Gazzaniga’s much-improved from when Adkins threw him in at the deep end. Only been banging that drum for a year or so. :wink:
