Palace post match BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[curiousorange]

I've said this before, but losing Champions League is as if we've been relegated instead of qualifying for a second tier European competition. We should have at least been permitted to stand still, but it genuinely is like we've been demoted to another league.

[lovejoy]

Let’s all stay calm. We’ve lost our first home game for a year in the league ffs.

[brontebilly]

About the only one who deserves any credit is Buendia, otherwise a dreadful display, badly need some quality in tomorrow.

Thought Tielemans and McGinn were ok, as was Mings. We had a decent spell after half time, more positional pressure rather than very good play. Second goal which was totally against the run of play killed it. Konsa completely at fault there, not sure on Bizot's positioning either.

Lack of quality in wide areas very evident, Maatsen particularly but also Cash messed up a good few promising situations. This is meant to be Maatsen's strength! Malen looked completely lost, not sure on his role. No interplay between him and Cash. Rogers stunk it out again with his attitude on the other side.

The team is in urgent need of new starting players, not crap filler like Lindelof. Emery's team that delivered three successive seasons of European football is finished sadly.

I literally  honesty  would rather have a better team and take a 10 point penalty  than have a shambolic  team of shit like the last four games

[TonyD]

I reckon that Emery and the players have been told there is no money to spend and that all the players are for sale should a good offer come in. 
That would explain a lot. 

[Paul.S]

The worst performance for years.
Hamstrung by Onana and Kamara being out and by the fact we can’t spend but even so that was awful.
We have nothing up front, absolutely nothing and unless we get someone in to help we are in serious trouble. Where are the goals going to come from? Rogers needs a rest but we can’t afford to so unless we find a shit load of cash from the back of the settee this is going to be a tough, tough season.
From afar it feels like everyone is up for sale but why? Surely we aren’t in that much trouble that we have to sell even more?
Tomorrow is make or break for us, a few loans just won’t do it, far from it.
Something is very wrong here and unless it’s sorted we’ll be in a battle at the bottom.

With the greatest respect, it’s really obvious the problems go further than that. If it had been a ding dong battle and we’d just lost out that’s fine, this is the third game we haven’t scored a goal (4th if you go back to last season). We have big problems, this summer has been catastrophically bad.

[cdbearsfan]

Not fun.

[SamTheMouse]

Fucking hell, that Mings quote. Did he really say that?

What an abject mess.

[Louzie0]

A bit surprised that ‘Rogers needs a rest’ ( Paul.S above).
Why?

[Pat McMahon]

That was a very average performance, descending into very poor at times.

First half was once again flat and the players recalled like Maatsen and Malen did nothing to suggest they should have started. We were ponderous and blunt, whereas Palace looked lively and dangerous whenever they broke. I didn’t see enough from Guessand to see what type of player he is.

Cash played their man onside for the first goal, being dragged slightly right because of the wide threat. He also gave the ball away in the build up to the second, but to be fair to him chased back all the way to try to stop the cross. I was more angry at Kansa’s poor clearance straight to the feet of Guehi. It should have gone to row Z. The third was utter shite all round.

I thought we showed more purpose in the second half, a la Newcastle, but never felt we would actually score. I don’t think anybody played remotely well but Buendia at least liked lively and like he had actually heard of passing and movement.

Emery giving off very angry and frustrated vibes. It all feels very, very flat.

[PaulWinch again]

Indeed - if that’s the case Ty, maybe those players and the manager could make it look like they do.

[Skerra]

Look on the bright side, getting season tickets next season should be a lot easier

[Demitri_C]

Let’s all stay calm. We’ve lost our first home game for a year in the league ffs.

No offence but that is abit if a put your head in the sand approach. The last four performances have been a complete and utter shambles.  There has been zero positives none from any of them.we look like we could have been playing for 90 days today and we wouldnt score. Its a real worry

[Proposition Joe]

Oh fuck. Can't shake the feeling that The Villa Cycle (TM) has returned. A couple of seasons of doing well that turns out to be a fata morgana, followed by a collapse, struggle, binning of the manager and starting from scratch again. I really hope not.

My 20/20 hindsight says we should have spent what we needed to spend this season to refresh and improve the team, and simply take the hit from UEFA. This lot have probably hit the buffers.
