Worst Performance Of The Season

[VillaTim]

That was probably Harry Mguires most comfortable game in 5 years

[London Villan]

In context and future implications, yesterday is by far the worst.

I said a few weeks ago, the last two seasons everything has gone for us to get into europe, yesterday it didn't and we didn’t get the rub of the green.

The surrender vs Palace in an FA cup semi-final!

[luke95]

Palace semi final .... the trophy was ors for the taking.

What would you rather eat in a sandwich.

Dog shit or cat shit

Palace and united. Equally bad. Equally as painful and equally heart wrenching.

Agreed

[Brend'Watkins]

It’s the worst game plan, tactics, selection or effort since Emery has been with us. His fuck up as much as the players.

[Brend'Watkins]

While Palace can be compared as equally as bad the difference is that they’re a very good side. ManU were there for the taking because they’ve not been this poor for 20 odd years and they’d lost a final earlier in the week. But we still managed to make them look decent.

The most is not important, it’s the frequency and a lot of it being down to selection and tactics/ strategy.
Then an unwillingness to change it when it is not working.

It's just hard to believe he didn't make at least two subs at half time. Our season was on the line

Yes, Maatsen was all over the place which meant SJM was charging around trying to cover, Rogers was leaving Cash exposed on the other wing.

I didn't think Maatsen was noticeably bad in the first half, just poor. As you say Rogers was delinquent really in not helping Cash out, Mount was causing problems in a constant 2 on 1 on that side. At least McGinn was covering Maatsen, too much probably. Surprised with Rogers as he worked hard in a similar role v Bournemouth but he didn't try a leg for some reason in that first half, spooked maybe. Emery had options, swap McGinn and Rogers was obvious after about 15 mins. As utterly awful as we were in the first half and despite the red card, we were somehow still in the game at half time. I said it on match thread that I thought Mings and Tielemans had to come in for Torres and Onana. They were no brainer subs.

Maatsen had the nightmare of all nightmares in that second half. Emery should have recognised that very early on. Aside from the spectacular mistakes, he had at least one if not two of those gutless headers in our box just back out to the D for Fernandes or one of them to have a crack at. His head was gone. Digne brought calm when he came on at Arsenal in a similar situation. Mings and Tielemans, we just needed calmness then. The situation was salvable. Three very experienced players on our bench and yet he goes back out with same 10!

Maatsen yesterday eclipsed Konsa at Ipswich as the worst individual performance of the season for me. His form had been improving lately and I was all for showing faith in him. But that was badly misplaced.

That was probably Harry Mguires most comfortable game in 5 years

Watkins made it easy for him with a truly horrendous performance, his movement, touch, hold up play, pressing were all utter garbage.

We were struggling to play through their press and needed our striker to bail us out and he failed miserably.

Bit harsh singling out Ollie, none of them played well at all and one got himself needlessly sent off.

[PhilVill]

Yesterday for me (although Palace and Monaco run it close seconds).

It worrying that we keep setting ourselves up the same way in these games and expect a different result. It's shite and ends up in a shite loss, the same will happen next year if we keep doing it.

[frank black]

Palace was abysmal.

(Unai’s subs against PSG were abysmal too) but the match was still great.

[AV82EC]

1. Palace (Wembley)
2. ManYoo (Away)
3. Palace (Away)
4. Monaco (Away)
5. Spurs (Away)

All away from home, all against teams who totally destroyed us with a mid-high press, totally stifled Tielemans and broke on us in transition.

Definitely something to work on next year.

Yet we were an unbelievable decision to stop us going 1-0 up with 10 men.
