Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa match thread

[Toronto Villa]

If Traoré had six legs, he'd still only use the one.

As long as it was his best leg

How many times will Traore lose it in midfield?

[BC Villain]

Back into our shells yet again

[Toronto Villa]

We look a little more uncertain at the back, which isn’t surprising that on the right Konsa has Elmo, not Cash and on the left Targett has Hause not Mings. It makes a difference.

[devilla]

Been impressed with Hause so far.

But the one he does use is a beauty!

It’s the amount of time he just gives it away that pisses me off.

I think it's tactics after we score to sit back a bit.If so it's stupid.

Not today it isn't. He's been crap.

If Jack has 45 minutes in him, I’d get him on for Traore straight away.

He’s playing at half the pace of everyone else, so sloppy.

It’s a game of football at PL level. The other team are going to have the ball and try and do something with it. Especially after they concede. Aside from Man City there aren’t many sides who almost exclusively have the ball.

Blimey Roy looks old.

Yep, just puts pressure back on us.

good free kick there - corner -

half time

Hodgson looks like a nailed-on candidate for the Deathwatch thread.
