Crystal Palace v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[BoVillan esq]

Missed opportunity, both Man City and Chelsea dropping points, plus we can't get past this hold they have on us, still the new run is safe and on we go. 

[Rigadon]

Watkins misses a couple and we don’t win.  We are crying out for a clinical goal scoring centred forward beast. 

As is everyone else. 

Man City have the obvious.  Liverpool have signed two potential ones.  Arsenal have spent a load of money on a shit one.  Chelsea have spent even more on… err, fuck knows.


Anyway, a point is ‘ok’ so long as Arsenal lose or draw.

Not too upset with the result. I thought the ref was particularly poor tonight.

[martin o`who??]

Says a lot that a scrappy 0:0 is an improvement over what we usually get against them. I really hope we can get over this inferiority complex we have about them before I fucking die.

[Halfway to Moseley]

Thank god we can’t play these in the Europa League.

Even with half their team missing it still feels like we’re up against PSG.

Chance this look better at the end of the season. Still level with Man City - one more ahead of chelsea. 

Tomorrows not bad - either we stay as is, or gain a point on one of our rivals. 

A win would of been lovely - but they had the better of the chances tbh.  We just dont seem to be able to cope with how physical they are.

IMO a massive missed opportunity against a very weak Palace squad. God knows what it is, but Unai just doesn't know how to play against Palace. He never looks himself but seems to over think the game against them. They were there for the taking tonight and yet we still didn't impose ourselves on them. So frustrating...

It might turn out to be a really good point but this feels like an opportunity missed.  At no point did we get our free flowing game going and the first half was just a warm up.   Sancho was really poor, but I think Tielemans was below par and some of the passing generally was wayward.  Still, a clean sheet, another point and we didn't lose to our bogey side.  Tielemans grabbed in the box, nothing, handball when the ball was on its way to goal, nothing, referee didn't see the ball come off the thigh of the Palace player when Rogers shot near the end.  I think we were possibly a bit unlucky with the decisions tonight too.

Man U now winning, because of PWS.

Well yeah and there’s the point, they don’t really exist and if they are about they cost an exceptional amount. It’d didn’t come off tonight, but his goal scoring record is absolutely fine of late.

[Percy McCarthy]

Good point in one of our toughest fixtures.

[andyh]

It’s weird.
We have been discussing on here all week how we need to lose the small team mentality. How we need to believe that this team can achieve something.

But now it seems we should be happy with a draw against their B team.

That’s a massive opportunity lost and we should be thoroughly disappointed that we didn’t step up (again) against these fuckers.

[Rigadon]

Is the Nathaniel off Lost?

[PeterWithesShin]

10 points ahead of 6th. Not bad.

[Legion]

At least we didn't lose.
