Went to the game. Very disappointing. I was concerned  after Brentford ,however this was far worse and even more worrying. I have thought for a while that there is more than PSR and SCR to blame for our troubles. This performance  more or less confirmed it.

The worse thing about tonight, is that it felt inevitable. We huffed and puffed for the first 10 mins, won a few corners, that was the grand scale of that half. Much more lively first 15/20 of the 2nd half, largely inspired by Beundia running forwards with the ball, but in truth we never looked like scoring.
No manager is beyond criticism and Emery has to find a way through this, but he surely has lots of credit in the bank. He’s also been dealt an incredibly bad hand this summer. If Lindelof, Guessand and Bizot end up being our business after selling Martinez, Ramsey and Bailey and others becoming subsequently unsettled, there is large degrees of culpability from those in charge of supporting the manager.
I was there till the bitter end tonight and feels like it might not be the only time this year.

And, in a very rare moment of magnanimity, wasn't that Wharton impressive, I don't think I saw him give the ball away once. Terrific player.

McGinn started lively first 15 mins then Wharton took control of the whole game. Very, very good player.

Yeah, he's going to go for a fuck load of money next season.

I'm surprised Chelsea didn't put an Ł80mil bid in, they seems to be buying every other clubs players this summer.

Just watched highlights on motd. Gueyhe's brilliant goal was a direct result of a missed pass by Cash. That's 3 out of the last 4 games he's cost us a goal with sloppy passing. He really isn't good enough at this level.

Direct result? Are you missing Konsa whacking a clearance under no pressure at McGinn. Cash had half blocked the cross to make it quite an easy clearance to begin with.

Cmon, you know Cash losing it in the middle of the oppositions half trumps Konsa thinking McGinn could control the ball that was travelling at speed whilst bouncing and whilst he had two players on him. (And also Bizot deciding he should attempt to run out to tackle Guehi or whatever thought he had to suddenly run forward from his goal line for.

Cash was on the grassy knoll too.

P.S. our goal tender looked a competition winner tonight

I think that easy passes straight to the opposition in the middle of the pitch and playing attackers onside all the time is really helpful if you want to concede goals.

One straw I'm grasping at is that we have not been outplayed in any of our three games so far and we actually controlled much of tonight's game and at Brentford. One of Palace's lads was interviewed after the game and said they are our kryptonite. Guehi will never score a goal like that again, some of his teammates were wondering if he meant it. That little prick Sarr clearly pumps himself up for our games more than any other opponent. At least there was karma with the cheating cvnt injuring himself during his elaborate dive which he was duly booked for.

We badly need a Plan B when we go behind against a team happy to play on the counter. Emery being schooled by Glasner yet again sticks in the craw but our philosophy of slow-slow-quick is what we did for large portions of the game and he said himself that we followed the gameplan.
