Brilliant!! Tuchel saw it coming, set his team up to beat it, his team thrashed us 6 nil and then had a sleep for over half an hour, but "Ralph knows better about his own set up than Tuchel" 😂 Clueless. Absolutely fucking clueless.

So you think you know better than Tuchel. Jeez. I'll say again, when Tuchel talked about our predicable tactics and how easy we were to set up against, he called it a 442. If you or Ralph want to refer to the outer 2 in the middle 2 as something else be my guest, but it's nothing more than 442 with the wide men tucking in. Watch how City and Chelsea play. Its chalk and cheese. Chelsea won't be as bothered by the press as City, and set up with more bodies in the middle and between the lines to pick us off, which they did with ease. Without being disrespectful, I'll end a tactical discussion here as you've shown time again that a discussion with you is pointless.

I'll tell you the difference. Those teams play on the front foot and the pressing works against them. Against teams more counter attack minded, we get sucked into the press, and they pass over and around us. As for 442, Tuchel referred to it as a 442...don't be telling us you know better than him.

Yep, it's just Chris Wood. If you said that Armstrong had a higher ceiling than him, we'd agree for once! Re your possibly to Potter on another post. No possibly for me, he's done wanders with a limited squad at BHA.

Yep. It's embarrassing reading what Tuchel said. Essentially, they knew we'd play 442 with 2 number 6's pressing high, so picked Werner and Mount to go behind and pick us off. Easy as peas. It's obvious to anyone with anyone with any tactical sense that you don't concede the midfield and you keep it tight. It was like he was trying to see how he could pick a team and more tactics more mental than Liverpool away.

How about a thread 'Current PL managers with more predictable and easier to pick off tactics than Ralph'. Tuchels post match comments highlight the predictability of how we set up. The sad thing is that we can see it. Ralph seemingly can't.

Cheers, hope she's gonna be OK. The insinuation from your first post was that she had a heart issue as a consequence of a vaccine, but is the heart issue from the Graves? Are you saying that the vaccine caused the Graves? I asked my initial question if what came first heart issue or covid quite deliberately - there's this huge rush to blame the vaccine on heart and other health issues on the vaccine, without looking at the more obvious cause being covid.

Sorry to hear this. Can I ask though, what came first, heart issues or covid?

Goodbye

Palace are very good, and are reaping the rewards of being brave. They completely overhauled their squad, and took a leap of faith in Vieira. They've now got a young ish squad with options on the bench, and play exciting football. We need to do the same. Now.

Disgraceful.

Did he really say that?

Jesus wept. We got battered, and were lucky it was only 6.

Yep 👍

Chelsea lucky, good one. The only good luck on display was their benevolence in the last half hour so, and Forsters numerous saves.

Fuck. Anyone's guess where this ends. Ralph has to go today.

He's not a winger mate. He's a full back, and a good one. The problem of him playing out of position ain't solved by him playing even more out of position.

Yep, but there's people suggesting left wing/midfield!!

Playing KWP even more out of position ain't a great idea for me.

Fortunately 36 points looks to be enough cos I can't see where our next win is coming from. We've gone to absolute dog shit.

Yep. Enough already.

That's the way I've seen it. I think it's more about having the right players around the ball rather than who's actually taking the throw.

But it's a bad point. Covid is rife now, and whilst the NHS are struggling, hospitals aren't piled high with covid patients. That's cos most people have been vaccinated and can bat away covid without needing a hospital. Take the vaccine out of the equation, and had we been living like we are now amongst the earlier variants, it'd be carnage. It's not complicated.
