Crystal Palace v Aston Villa Match Thread

[ez]

His system doesn't work, he won't change it so he'll go eventually. It's pretty obvious now.

It's difficult to tell what the system is.

[jwarry]

Bit concerned that Gerard is making Ramsey not progress

He just hasn’t got going this season at all yet

[Nev]

Konsa has lost it totally, such a dip it's hard to understand.

[Lastfootstamper]

Anyone name a player who's improved since Gerrard came in?

I'd say Buendia had, but then he replaced him first chance he got.

[Martyn Smith]

That kid's penalty was the best thing I've seen in a Villa shirt today...

[SoccerHQ]

I can see Chambers coming on for Konsa to start the second half. We will be bringing in another CB this week. Nailed on.

Just start Chambers, it's not hard yet this rookie manager is making it seem like one of the toughest decisions out there.

I have a feeling he'll put Young on early second half to try to wind up Zaha a bit. He's on a yellow so chip away and see if he reacts as him getting sent off is our best hope of a result here.

I think his confidence has been systematically destroyed. Mings deserves serious credit for how he's been playing with everything going on in the background.

Some don't know how to do simple basic defending and I not talking about our defense

[Nev]

McPhee is absolutely stealing a living. We are awful at set pieces at either end of the pitch.

[TonyD]

Absolutely shite.  Again.
What has happened to Konza.  He looked nailed on to become a rock.
Digne is shite. 
McGinn is McGinn - sell him. 
Ramsey going backwards. 

Chambers and Doug on. 
Take your pick who to hook for them. I’d be tempted to keep Konsa on.  Maybe he might play through this bad patch.

[KevinGage]

My stream is awful today (I see you're watching the same one Risso)

Yep, it's normally really good but been terrible today.

A blessing so far.

[Rudy65]

We weren’t any better before he came in. Similar squad to Smith

[PaulWinch again]

Bit concerned that Gerard is making Ramsey not progress

He's trying to play him back to form and it's not happening.

I don’t think Ramsey can absolve himself of responsibility there, as much as it is popular with some to blame all bad stuff on Gerrard.

[ozzjim]

We look the most lightweight team in the league.  Midfield is just awful
