you really watched the match, the value of colwill even caicedo can't replace it. When they give caicedo ball he will pass it back to defense and by that time palace don choke everywhere finish.

Enzo lost some passes because he was trying to progress the ball faster, it's like a baton passed late, palmer couldn't even find space expect by the flanks

what we needed was to progress the ball quickly but wingers, neto and especially gittens, no fit beat their players, then through the middle caicedo couldn't progress the ball without getting fouled or passing it without fear of interception, infact na josh progress ball infield pass, a number of times a quick transition couldn't occur because caicedo couldn't find enzo or palmer with the ball, giving time for palace players to close down.

Gameplay like this are what people like ibime won't see
You finish Analysis for here.

Well done.

More than half of the starting 11 had a horrible game today but only one name would be called.

If that Delap volley or Chalobah chance had fallen to Jackson by now the thread would have been infested with people calling for him to be drawn and quartered.


The team has to be balanced to compete through a long season, but if we talk, they will say otherwise.

I was team balance before airmark converted me to team attack with his persistent Jackson agenda.

That said,l think the team is balanced unless when Enzo Fernandez is playing.

The guy is much better at carrying than he is at passing.

Colwill, Badiashile and Tosin are the CBs we have who can pass like that and they are all injured.

And the first half was an eyesore physically speaking. We lost every duel, looked half asleep, made so many unforced errors....

Could and probably should have gotten the three points, because that is what champions do.

But I still believe we're better suited to tournament football.


Anyway, I no Wan hear any excuses this season.

A major trophy, a deep UCL run and a title challenge or the season has been a failure.

This is one of the reasons I said we're not capable of winning premier league yet and are more of a knockout team at the moment but them wan take my life cause of attack vs defence sorry balance yesterday. Colwill is a big part of our tactics in progressing the ball not just in defence. See how chalobah 's switches of play were causing little chaos in their defence in the first half. Josh tried too though in bringing the ball out but he showed his inexperience atimes. Palace is good too though so no wam on to the next.

I feel maresca should change his tactics with the loss and lack of personnel, for me James would have done a better job than giving cucurella free role which would have been given to palmer or even Enzo, little changes like this can affect a game, maybe instead of starting gittens and if not estevao palmer would have played rw and we use caicedo and santos, someone capable of progressing play instead of caicedo. Palace went double marking our wingers forcing the ball back and with no way through the middle I just hope xavi joins and maybe maresca pushes enzo deeper in field in games like this
