Crystal Palace v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[footyskillz]

What does Sherwood see in Gabby? he has become a very poor player and should have been taken off at half time, Bacuna is no right back and Gestede looks out of his depth. Need a quality striker badly.

Kozak should be given a go.

[SamTheMouse]

One of the things I like about Kozak is he seems to have a natural sense of movement. Too frequently our forwards make the run into the box, but when the ball doesn't arrive immediately, they just stand there waiting and allow themselves to be marked. Good strikers don't stop moving.

I posted in wrong thread but can say again that Clark outmuscled for goal and second cwas naive but enforced by Sherwood attacking want. Also Sunderland next and undefeated in 8 against them Gabby often scores them so positive play and pace of traore see us back to winning ways.

I also think kozak deserves a chance, fuck gabby off once and for all

We played well first half, by far the better team and a half decent striker would not have hit the keeper when one on one. Half time they made a double substitution, I was watching with my lad and said I reckon they are going to match up with us. They bossed play and we needed a substitution and was chuffed when Traore coming on, but could not understand why Sanchez, who had been superb, was taken off. They took the lead and then Traore showed his class, but still no Gabby taken off and we lost. Guzan should not have thrown to Amavi, who should not have tried to take the player on. Really think the manager messed up today and I am a big fan of his

I thought we created a few things today. You also create more chances if you take them, which we didn't today.

Sherwood got outdone by Pardew with the half time changes that he made, and then compounded things by bringing off Sanches and losing the middle of the park completely.

Well that is the thing we must remember that Sherwood is still very inexperienced and is still learning the game whereas most the Managers he will come up against this season have far more experience.

I will wait till I see the highlights before commenting too much, but by the sounds of the radio reports it sounds like it was a decent game which really came to life in the last 30 minutes.  I guess I have mixed feelings because we showed good character to bounce back as quickly as we did, but then it was very sloppy to lose the lead like that when we were on the verge of getting what would have been a solid point. Yeah I think we could do with another striker, but I'm not having this about Guzan.  He hasn't suddenly become a bad keeper.

Inexperienced?

He is 46

Aston Villa appoint 53 year old Chris Jameson as manager. Although Jameson is a bit of a fuckwit and lacks motivation in most things he does and his only previous experience of management was in his mates record shop, they were keen to appoint somebody experienced.

Kozak should get a chance on Tuesday night.

Taking Sanchez off was one of the more bizarre sub decisions I've seen for a while.

Has there ever been a keeper with worse distribution skills than Brad?

you would think that in training he would work on this. a bit like you would think westwood would work on corners and gabby on how to kick a ball. ive wondered for ages what they actually do in training but it must be a lot as half of them look fucked

Kozak's performance against Forest makes Gabby look like Lionel Messi. I quote the Woodhall theorem. The less a player plays the higher his reputation. While we are fantasising about a player recovering from an horrendous injury and a year out of action, why not go the whole hog and bring back Tonev to give us attacking width and fire power?

Explain Kozak in the 2-2 at Wolves then

Is it the motivation thing or because I'm a bit of a fuckwit? I shall be dropping Agbonlahor and bringing in Hutton at right back for the next game. I'm also likely to accidentally pick two goalkeepers though.

I see Callum Wilson scored a hat - trick for Bournemouth today. Perhaps we should've bid for him instead of Ayew?

Difference is bournemouth create chances. We create very little.

I thought Bournemouth were good at Anfield and obviously did well today. Matt Ritchie looks a good player

I thought Bournemouth created jack all against Liverpool. They play very well in front of you, but lack penetration. West Ham must have been utter toss.

I forgot to say; drums and goal music should mean we pick up three points by default, as Palace are deducted 10000 points, the ground bull dozed and the ground sown with salt, their fans sold into slavery as punishment, every historical reference of them expunged, with all merchandise and memorabilia in their name to be incinerated.
