Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa match thread

[Bobby Boy]

The most chances that Palace have created all season.

Shocking.

[mr underhill]

totally fucking useless since january - Smith's going to get the chop here if the owners are as ambitious as people believe.

[Risso]

Relegation form for far too long. Really need a decent high level manager bringing in in the summer.

[JUAN PABLO]

when did we last win here .. 

[SoccerHQ]

I hope Dean owns this defeat if that's the way it finishes

I don't think it's just subs, Zaha come alive this half so just leaving AEM up v him was pretty sloppy, should've had a midfielder sitting in for 10 minutes to nulify him.

[cdbearsfan]

Referee being a ****** hasn't helped us.

[KevinGage]

They've upped the tempo from about the 40th minute onwards and we haven't had a response.

[JUAN PABLO]

fuck off Goodman

[Bad English]

Fuck off ref you ******! Foul on Jack!

[N'ZMAV]

totally half-arsed. The way Elmo turns his back for Zaha's goal and the way he doesn't even commit to the challenge for Mitchell's goal. Poor by Elmo.

Starting to think Smith isn’t switched on enough at this level

[Steve67]

Too many switch off. Crap play, crap coaching. Will be glad when this season is over.

[Axl Rose]

Coote is a cnut

[Toronto Villa]

Games like this for me is why Dean Smith won’t be the long term manager of the club. I think the ambitions of the owners are such that I don’t think he can improve fast enough as a PL manager to keep up. He’ll be the victim of those ambitions. His limit is mid table and that’s nice, but look at where Leicester are now and who they have as manager. They needed that to take the next step. We need better than Dean Smith.

Luis has hit every pass at 100 miles an hour this half.
