Baird of the land

At least another team in palace have a weak mentality

What is a first team cb? How is vestergaard(who can’t get near the Leicester team one) but lyanco isn’t.

I’d argue most likely concept might be to loan in a cover fullback and then keep one of small/Ramsay/vokins as 4th choice.

Going from 55k a year to prison and pariah status, what an idiot.

What are they going to do to stop them, fence fans in again?

I'd probably got for something like the below. Don't play players who won't be here next season(broja, long, forster etc). I'd also think it's worth giving Small the game time if he's considered a future player for us. Mccarthy KWP Stephens Lyanco Salisu Small Armstrong Romeu JWP Armstrong Adams

Another year of wasted money still to come.

Suppose there’s certain symmetry, with the likely inevitable pitiful loss to Leicester to bookend his time here.

That would require him to be non delusional. He seriously is over the moon at his pathetic set up today.

Yeah spouting that nonsense and then setting a team out to lose like that.

Glad Forest won. Hopefully they can beat Huddersfield in the play off final, at least that would be a bit of a change.

The main thing today was a manager not interested. The players were doing what they were told.

He's still a Wolves player isn't he. Just out on loan. Expect he'll be back with Wolves next season but not to take penalties.

Is that the sort of thing i'd like to see him try every week, no but when behind with time running low i'm less critical of a player trying something positive. Also it was a foul. If he hadn't of been fouled he would likely have got the ball.

Honestly i've been wavering but that was pathetic. Setting your team out with a formation and tactics that showed zero ambition. Happy to limit the size of the loss to a massively weakened liverpool

Don't know how anyone could look at how Ralph made the team approach the game and go its the squad's fault, not the useless coward in the technical area

Don't blame the players for that. Down to completely inept manager who set up aiming to lose the game to liverpool reserves. Within the pathetic formation and tactics the manager employed, Lyanco was the one who really impressed.

What is the point of that garbage passing along the back.

Ralph super plan was that Liverpool wouldn't be able to shoot on target it seems.

Comical that Elyounessi assists their goal under no pressure from anyone. Pathetic how we've approached this game. Desperate to lose. Great 2 subs and we are still playing a pathetic 5 at the back.

But by massively overloading in terms of CB most of the time it allows their other players massive overloads all over the pitch. Romeu would make little difference in a like for like swap. He'd be chasing shadows like the current mids I'd keep Tella on, he's got the pace on the break. Played ok when we've actually had the ball (lovely cross field pass to KWP, got in position when Broja was too ball greedy to pass the ball until he'd run down a cul de sac etc. I'd get Romeu on and move to a flat back 4.

Personally i blame the formation, too many CB's not enough Mids. They are constantly being asked to mark two players by shuttling to them whenever they get the ball.

Absolutely hate our formation. Just set up to allow them constant overloads and hope they can't finish. Get Romeu on and go 4-5-1 pls.

Broja annoyingly ball greedy again.

Maybe it was me thinking Ralph was sensible to admit playing 5at the back versus Liverpool was stupid. Yeah thought small was poor in Cov game. If that’s his ability level it’s an indictment of our scouting. Yeah leg fracture apparently
