Crystal Palace v Aston Villa Match Thread

[jwarry]

This is a fucking shambles. Our midfield is laughably bad.

Thing is they are not bad players

[CorkVilla]

Gerrard should never have been made manager in the first place, terrible appointment. Success in Scotland means nothing. Look at Neil Lennon.

[pauliewalnuts]

It smells of Lambert.

Even the body language of the players looks poor.

Embarrassing set piece. If only we had a coach for them.

[andyh]

You've had your full pre-season Gerrard. Now fuck off!

Post of the day

[PeterWithesShin]

3-1 flatters us. Against Palace.

[DB]

He puts out a team which looks decidedly less than the sum of the parts.

Spot on. Any half decent team look like world beaters vs us currently. We beat Everton who look pretty shit themselves.

[The Edge]

What on earth has happened to our defence? We are shockingly bad. Relegation could be a real threat. And we are the 4th highest spenders in the league. SG has got to turn this round quickly or he will be gone. If we're still struggling by the time the world cup break comes they might decide to use the time to replace him.

[pauliewalnuts]

This is a relegation battle season, I'm afraid.

[Edvard Remberg]

Konsa is a disaster

[Exeter 77]

The performances over the the whole of the first three games of this season have been at least as bad as anything we saw under Dean Smith after promotion.

[villadelph]

Konsa let’s Will Hughes, of all people, dash in behind to totally fluff #4.

[Risso]

That's a 1/10 performance from Konsa today, remarkably poor. Why is he still on the pitch?

[levico]

Another weekend ruined on top of Englands lamentable performance yesterday.

Just a matter of when he goes  for me, depends how much damage is done by October I guess.

[Bad English]

If we're still struggling by the time the world cup break comes they might decide to use the time to replace him.

They could get it done today while the players are having a shower and an ice-bath.
