Crystal Palace v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

Sinclair hard done by to be dropped whilst Gabby is getting 90 mins.

Neither deserve to be in the team. Gestede must miss the tactics at Blackburn. I doubt very much he appreciates the hoofs up field all afternoon.

Disagree, Sinclair has something about him and an eye for goal. Gabby has neither.

Sinclair is the new N'Zogbia. All fart, no shit.

That seems to be the phrase of the day, but I disagree Sinclair's already scored a few goals for us.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Meh, fucking pissed off to be honest. First half all over them but no cutting edge, let them play too much 2nd, Gabby is a disgrace, why he plays every week I'll never know, every time he got the ball in a promising position he fucked it up. You need someone to build around and it's not him. We need a goal scorer. Sort it the fuck out.

[silhillvilla]

In the last week we've been busy giving long term deals to average players like westwood Gardner and Bacuna , not a good sign. They won't improve us one iota .

[Colhint]

i'm not too disappointed. Young team, new players. Better quality, they just need a good few games. I think the only reason Gabby is on the pitch is we probably only have 2 or 3 players with prem experience at the moment. I wouldn't change too much. Probably Sinclair and Hutton for Gabby and Bacuna

[Goldie.7]

Bacuna pissed me off as well by starting to waste time with 5 min left, all that lead to their goal. 5 year deal my arse.

Work on your shooting mate, not the silly hair.

There's basically no basis for that comment. The last time he got a constant run of games in the PL, he had a decent goalscoring record for a winger. He scored 3 in 12 during his loan spell, and part of that was spent when we had little clue otherwise when it came to attacking. He had a good pre-season. He played at Bournemouth, where the gameplan was conservative, and he was unlucky to be substituted against United.

I've seen nothing to convince me he has a clue what to do with the ball when he finds himself in a great position. He's that rare type of winger that doesn't/can't cross the ball. He's ace at finding dead ends though. He most certainly not the answer to our problems, just another to add to the list.

[PaulWinch again]

3 goals in 12 for a winger is not 'all fart and no shit'.

[Nastylee]

I am more pissed off with the manner of defeat. To have a draw in the bag as we enter the closing stages and to give it away like that was pathetic and unprofessional. Neither Guzan or Amavi can look back on that with any pride.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

He's all yours, Paul. Enjoy the endless frustration.

This is it. We need somebody else, almost anybody else, than Gabby and this forward would surely of been capable of putting away his gift of a chance. A proper forward and we go in two up away from home at half time. Gabby was past it years ago and sadly isn't getting any better.

Adama is quite easily the most exciting player I've seen in a very long time. Fu backs the league over should be very afraid, as if he gets you facing your own goal, then you've got two just the two chances of stopping him; kick him once for your yellow and twice for your red.

Except, for, y'know, those goals he's scored. Just because you mightn't have seen them doesn't mean they didn't happen.

I'm not suggesting he's definitely the saviour or anything and he's been okay at best so far, but it's plainly a ridiculous assertion to make based off what he's shown in his career.

[Chris Jameson]

Why has 'all fart and no shit' suddenly become the phrase to use? Bit unfair to be comparing Sinclair to N'Zogbia when the poor bloke hasn't even played today, he's a far better option than bloody Agbonlahor who I believe did play today for some strange reason.

[Goldie.7]

3 games, 1 goal scored. It's pretty obvious what we need.

Exactly I've seen that phrase thrown about loads unjustly.

Sherwood was rightly criticised for taking him off against Man Ure. It was a mistake not to play him again. Sinclair had been far superior to Gabby since Sherwood took control, not sure why he isn't giving him a go.

The big mistake today was failing to adapt to the Palace half time changes. Sherwoods can't be blamed for individual errors.
