Crystal Palace v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[exigo]

It was ridiculously hot in South London today. So I'd love to hear why our only substitution was to take our best player off. How the fuck Gabby starts, let alone finishes a game, is beyond me.

Get Gabby out
Get Bacuna out
Get Austin in
Get a right back in

Poor choice of substitution when he withdrew Sanchez

Gabby was at his best playing up front on his own. He's gone as a top flight player. He can't anticipate balls either knocked down from his partner up top or balls fed through to him.

I said the same thing in the match thread.

I don't think Gabby and Gestede linked up once. The amount of passes they played to one another must've been less than 3 or 4. Did Gabby win any of the second balls launched at Rudy?

They were so disconnected.

That's spot on for me. Gabby and Bacuna should not get within a million miles of a decent Premier league team. Without a proven goalscorer, I fear we will be bottom 6.

Is the villa team all fart and no shit ?

tons of shit.

Why has 'all fart and no shit' suddenly become the phrase to use?

I think Risso describing Grealish as that was much worse than Rudy's use of it to describe Sinclair. I know football is a game about which people have incredibly diverse opinions, but Grealish useless? Really?

I agree, the phrase has been used by at least three people on this thread and I wuestioned whoever it was who first used it about Grealish.

The people describing Grealish and Sinclair as all fart and no shit are talking out of their arse

[brontebilly]

I see Sinclair seems to be getting better by not playing

Crap at Bournemouth, crap largely against United bar for the ten mins before he got replaced

He hasnt played well for the club once away from home

[silhillvilla]

Important we regroup this week and get tactics correct for Sunderland which really is a must not lose game now.
I'd like Sinclair and hutton back and bunn in for Guzan , hoping we have lescott and Austin in before Tuesday next week so they are available.

[clash city rocker]

Before the season started I said we couldn't afford to gift goals to teams on a par with us. We'll thanks for that Villa. Thanks a fuckin bunch.

[VancouverLion]

On a positive note this Adama kid looks f'kin ace!! Electrifying pace, he'll terrorize full backs, looks to have a decent cross in him too. Good stuff!!

[Phil from the upper holte]

Getting a bit fed up of it all really, I know long way to go but we look shit again!

To me it doesn't mean someone is useless.   It means there's a lot of fancy stuff but not enough end product. It fits Grealish pretty well I'd say.  With N'Zog you rarely even get the windy bit.  As for Sinclair he's chipped in with a few goals and it seems a little harsh.  I'm not convinced he's an out and out winger.  I reckon either he or Ayew would have thrived in Gabby's position today, playing off Gestede with a bit of anticipation, intelligence and tehcnique.
