Crystal Palace v Aston Villa Match Thread

[KRS]

I expected we’d lose and I don’t particularly care about the score, but this performance shows how poor a number of our squad players really are. No need to name the senior players that need to be moved on, but the kids clearly aren’t going to make the grade at the level we’ll be playing at next season.

I know we are al happy and not bothered about this game but ffs some effort and pride in the name please.

Goals conceded with Olsen in goal.

Last season 14 in 6 matches.
This season 15 in 8.

Just thank Christ nothing was riding on this match.

[Exeter 77]

Have we ever won with Olsen in goal?

5 times in the 17 games he has played including today.

Palace will exchange places with us next season.

This is what happens when you spend all your time on blues forums - the loss of perspective will rub off on you.

How much would Eze cost? £60m?

Forgot Diaby was still on the pitch.

[Edvard Remberg]

Goals conceded with Olsen in goal.

Last season 14 in 6 matches.
This season 15 in 8.

So prior today he was good with 10 in 7

Think this has higlighted Palace's physical power which we lack or don't channel correctly (Carlos and Duran at either ends of the pitch barely doing anything of note). Olsen also suffers from a clear lack of authority.

Hibs x 2, Legia, Burnley. That's it. Well, this season.

Well Brighton away was a moral victory, of sorts. As he didn't chunk any in.  Just who could 4th placed Aston Villa, with more £ than the Bank of England, find to sit on our bench as a sub goalie. Who indeed.

He's not getting a whole pile of cover in front of him today, in fairness.

I believe that’s the number on his release clause. Give or take 5mil.

Plenty of that on Monday night when it mattered.

Not saying we'd have definitely won or anything, but I suspect we'd have seen a very different team at least.

Oh, sorry, that doesn't include today.
