The Cat Posted 28 February, 2021 Share Posted 28 February, 2021 Palace seem to be trying to bore their opposition to sleep in the hope of nicking a goal at some point. It's almost like anti-football.

Minsk Posted 28 February, 2021 Share Posted 28 February, 2021 3 hours ago, Charlie Wayman said: Interesting to watch the Villa v Leeds & Newcastle v Wolves games last night, all between teams that have beaten us comfortably recently. Two good games to watch and all four sides playing fast open football. Once again we saw how modern defences are so well organised as to give little away and how much harder it is for all teams to score. So much of the play was in the middle third of the pitch. What was highlighted was how poor our defensive tactics are and how our gung-ho pressing style leaves the back line hopelessly exposed and over stretched. We need to watch these teams playing defensively and learn from them even if it means we are less gung-ho in our pressing. We are not scoring anyway but at least we might pick up a few points rather than lose out every time. Even Matt Targett looked competent at times although I didn't like the cynical (dirty, cheating) play that has crept into his game. I was surprised Bamford didn't floor him last night, must have been sorely tempted. I do realise you are just an anti-Saints wum, but I'll bite anyway: The only one of those who 'beat us comfortably' was Leeds, and that was only due a very poor 2nd half. We more than matched them in the first 45, and would have 1-0 up but for yet another shit bit of refereeing) Villa - should have been a draw at least and would have been if not for dodgy ref/var decisions (penalty claim; Ings arm-band being offside) Wolves - again, a draw would have been a fair result - which it would have been had both handballs, or either, been given (again, dodgy ref) Newcastle - we battered them for most of the game and only lost due to a howler by McCarthy and a very unfortunate OG by Bednarek 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two things here, VAR advised to give that as a penalty but in our Wolves game in a very similar incident The VAR said it wasn’t big enough an error to pull it back.

Bloody hell refereeing is **** here at the moment. Shaw is talking pony. The var doesn’t advise whether it’s a pen or not, just advise the ref to look at it. The ultimate decision is with the ref and fair play to him, he stuck to his guns. Do you really believe the ref told Maguire that, because I don’t.

The Cat Posted 28 February, 2021 Share Posted 28 February, 2021 Ramsdale is young and has some good attributes but would probably be best in the Championship at the moment which is obviously where he will be next season. Pope is the keeper that everyone will be going for at the end season so that rules us out. Sam Johnston is probably the best bet if we're looking at other crap Premier League teams.

If we lose to Sheff Utd next week then I will definitely begin to worry. They are completely devoid of confidence, struggle to score goals, have an injury crisis at the back with the likes of Egan, O'Connell and Basham all injured. They have Jagielka playing for god sake. Sander Berge is a loss for them too. They also play Wednesday night and then again against us on Saturday. We will have a few days extra rest/preparation. In fact let me change that. If we dont win against Sheff Utd then I will begin to worry for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nta786 Posted 1 March, 2021 Share Posted 1 March, 2021 Ramsdale has been pretty average I think and the fact he is facing so many shots every game means he’ll make the odd decent save or so. Reminds be a little but similar to David Marshall for Cardiff around 7 years ago. Sheffield Utd spent around £40m on Brewster and Ramsdale combined- what a waste of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that you think we only lose because of bad luck or lousy refereeing. By all means carry on deluding yourself if it makes you feel happier. If you want people to read all of your posts don't open them factually incorrect statements. As I stated, we were not 'comfortably beaten' by those 4 teams. Moreover, if you practised what you preach and read my post you would have seen that I admitted we lost 2 of those matches through our ineptness - Leeds because we were shit in the 2nd half; Newcastle due to severe defensive cock-ups. We have also certainly lost many other games due to defensive frailties. We may well do so tonight. It certainly doesn't help when our our only RB, who is instrumental to how we play overall not just defensively, has been out injured for so many matches. So no, I don't think we only lose due to bad luck or lousy refereeing - but those two things have certainly played a big part recently; not least in the Villa and Wolves matches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
