Palace v Villa Post Match Hiding Place

[PaulWinch again]

I do think it’s more tactical than individuals, fully acknowledging there are some shocking individual performances in there.

[JUAN PABLO]

Used to love it going for the juglar from the first minute Im getting tired of this tippy tappy shite at the back .

[Brazilian Villain]

how come no one ever moans about martinez? he pushed ball into players path again when it was in both hands,then when he knows he's fucked up pretends he's injured or ill! 3rd worst save percentage in league! he needs to go with konsa

Hello paul, welcome to H&V. Have you tried Grammarly?

Bailey playing RB must be an Emery low point . Sheer madness .

Ha ha ha, see, AI isn't all bad.

[JUAN PABLO]

Well If we need to sell anyone in summer for PSR . Konsa is the one , keep away from Kamara and JJ .

[Demitri_C]

I echo the olsen comments

Why is this fucking guy our number 2? How much more evidence does unai need for this guy mever to be played again?

When we’re relying on Bailey to be our last line of defence, then you know something has gone severely awry.

Yup, he's no last ditch defender, I don't think he thinks he is. And he worked very hard to prove it to UE.

That last goal was pitiful, absolutely unforgiveable, I know he isn't a defender but he's played with enough defenders to know how shit his attempts at defending were for that goal.

[VillaTim]

Martinez wasn't injured (didn't look it )  , what's gone off in the dressing room at HT

[Nii Lamptey]

Bullshit for us away fans too. All trains out of Marylebone cancelled. Just had to make a mad dash across to Euston to catch a train to Cov. Made it with literally seconds to spare.
Then I need to taxi back to leamington to pick up my car from work.
What a fucking shite away day. Fuming.

[LeeS]

Just back after walking home from Selhurst Park. Was sat in the directors box just a few feet behind Unai.

We looked so tired. Beaten to every 50:50. No rhythm, no energy. You can excuse that as fatigue. But, my god, we are fucking shit at defending. I thought they’d score every time they got the ball.

If we don’t prioritise a top centre half this summer then Monchi needs his head seeing to.

[pelty]

It wasn’t great in the first half once Palace realised how brittle we are and started to attack. But they second half was as bad as anything Gerrard served up, they completely gave up and it could easily have been 6 or 7.

It’s utterly bizarre after two goals and two assists between them Unai didn’t think it might be worth starting with at least one of Rashford or Asensio. Unai wants us to play this controlled style but we cannot do it, we implode and concede stupid goals every game. The only time we look good is when we play on the front foot, it is bewildering that he keeps trying what evidently doesn’t work.

This is it for me. Well said!! I love Unai, but he is regularly putting lineups together that make no sense given the circumstances. I think of last year’s Spurs game at home. He needs to have a serious rethink.

Unfortunately Leon is now just pointless. How he gets any game time ahead of others is a mystery.

The Bailey routine:

Get the ball.
Shape-up to do something with it.
Run straight into the defender, fall over and lose the ball.
Remain on the ground for several seconds appealing for a foul.
Rinse & repeat.

I'm struggling to recall his last significant contribution.

[tony scott]

Having played out from the back with little effect we play the dreaded long ball and score, not emerys style but effective!
