Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[Deano's Mullet]

We can moan about the disallowed goal all we like but we've still let 3 others in. One step forward two back every week.

[KevinGage]

Making the pride of Croydon look like a decent side. Again.

They must love playing us.

I know it's a shite place to go at the best of times.

But a bit of backbone and resolve every now and then wouldn't go amiss.

[martyn ellis]

Did they even check the pass to Wharton on the right. Didn't see it.

[Sexual Ealing]

How long's left? Shall I bother putting it on?

I've just turned it off if that's any kind of guide.

Dont bother  mate seriously

[JUAN PABLO]

bailey at HT was odd and not the duo and whats Malen done wrong

[itbrvilla]

As usual, when we are bad, we are monumentally awful

Every 2/3 games at present. Have been since mid September. Appalling.

Emery having a nightmare tonight. What is our setup at the back...Bailey kind of RWB but not really. Three centre backs marking nobody and Digne lost, utterly lost on left.

Totally agree. Tactics all wrong by Emery.

As soon as I saw we were playing 3/5 at the back I knew the game was lost. It's a desperate measure to try and improve a defence by adding players rather than correcting mistakes

[PaulTheVillan]

Bottom of the top half.

[tomd2103]

All over the place at the back since they scored.  Haven't got much else in the way of options, but McGinn and Tielemans can't offer defensive protection when we are under pressure.

[TopDeck113]

Our defending has been embarrassing poor for too long.  It needs to be sorted out both in terms of tactics, set-up and personnel.

[Mellin]

Hahaha. Thanks team. I'll leave it.

I just don't get VAR. There was a really tight offside call for their 3rd goal which got a millisecond of attention off them.

I thought Bogarde would be in midfield.
