I’m not saying that the squad shouldn’t have been strengthened more, I’m saying that you cannot blame the squad for today. We have more than enough in terms of quality. As far as the system goes, never,never,never play Fab in a two midfield no matter who the opposition is. Gives the opposition the upper hand straight away.

I get your point, but I still think that today we have conceded goals and scored only one due to individual performance (or rather non-performance) of 6-7 players.  Man City can put on the field 2 squads capable of winning the league, and that is why they are cruising and we cringe watching us fire fighting this season.

taking emotion out of it and analysing why we lost. one could say crystal palace have a new manager, new confidence, a key player back for them in zaha and a zest for life again. they were at home and had the crowd behind them, so they had that bit between their teeth to impress so upped their performance in a london derby. we wasn't good enough, but the second half we tried to get back into it and everything we hit just wouldn't come off. not much else you can say now, the match is done and we need to move on and look to get results from now on. we have key injuries and need players back asap. 

To win a game the opposition do need to do their part and they did. So hats of to them for accomplishing that. Having said that, we were playing so badly that any team (Chinese Super League, Indian Premier League or MLS) could have given us a run for the money. That was how bad we were. Now we did have key injuries but we have more than enough talent on the pitch to win against this team and this was what we came up with. 

Also, I am not a huge fan of we need to move on - We need to analyze why we lost, Cos we are leaking in way too many goals and we are not showing enough on  offense this season.

Christensen straight back to the bench after being our best defender over a busy period, why am i not surprised.

Pathetic team and management performance!! Beer and quick!! All of them need to answer for that Monday morning 9am, just like all us would if we turned in a performance like that at work!!! 

With a win today Arsenal will leap frog Chelsea to the fourth position. 

 

GO WATFORD !!!

Conte picked the wrong team today...should have brought Luiz into midfield along side Bakayoko with Christensen playing at the back...Willian looked knackered so why Mousanda didn't start I don't know? Looks like Moses will be out for a month or so with a hamstring strain or tear so the team will pick itself for Wednesday night...got a feeling that we've already settled for top 4 finish with a complete focus on CL...

just curious. did you really think the starting eleven wouldn't be able to beat that CP team? like, when you saw the team news, you thought "yep we're losing this one, it's on the manager". because even though I don't think Conte made the right choice playing Willian and Cahill, the team should be able to beat CP quite easily. so I think blaming the manager alone is quite daft

Thank you very f**king much. Picking the core of the squad that won the title, picking our only 2 CM's, our only striker, but because he picked our best CB over a youth player, managers decision cost us, what a load of worthless piss. It's not teh team I would have played either but it's hardly so outrageous it cost us, what cost us is the players not playing well enough, that's it, if those players have a good game, they smash palace, notice teh twerp didn't mention azpi playing like a total shell of himself, was that contes fault too......

the coach will analyse why and how we lost, but the fans need to move on. not much point crying over spilt milk now, we've lost the game and that's it. what else is there to say? why dwell on the result when we have other matches to now focus on.

Mate, after that, top 4 is irrelevant, top 6 is are level

Been to the game. Quite simple, team were poor as a whole. Palace wanted it more. I tell the kids I coach you can have a bad game but you can always run and show desire. Michy played poorly, can’t hold the ball up or get it and run at people. Dave and all the defenders poor in different ways. Players need to think about today.

Two weeks ago we were all so happy and positive after a great performance and win in Spain. Two weeks later and we've lost 2, been embarrassed twice and lost 3 players to hamstring injuries. Football changes so quickly.

Palace are very quickly becoming our bogey side

Our attitude in some games is our bogey. Apply ourselves against a side low on confidence in the first half and we win. As it was we were a no show first half and got exactly what we deserved out of the match.

Stupid question lads and lasses, but have we ever started a match with -

Dave - Christensen - Rudiger... ?

I just feel we have one of the best young CB's in the League who isn't getting the game time he deserves and Rudiger who really hasn't put a foot wrong since his arrival and has looked solid. Luiz and Cahill have both been fantastic servants to the club but it's about time we made the changes.

I thought I was on block you little snitch reinstate that would you. I actually reconsidered and editeded my comment but I'm glad you saw it now. difference between me and you is I have actually watched chelsea play, isn't it your bed time mate? I don't watch games in the middle of the night from India and turn up like a smart are. I made my point, blaming the manager for picking our best CB is f**king stupid, and I told you Andreas wouldn't be in the first team  this season is he? So shut it with that bollox 

 

Who the hell are you to tell me what to do. Last time I checked I had every right to do what I wanted. So u can take your suggestions and shove it up your...

 

but but but... Andreas is not good enough for us!!!

Marry-go-around

Check my teamshet and I can share a lost bet slip (damn bloody Burnley) if you want. Did not predict a cp win but cp w/d. So well, I might want to differ on it being daft.

but well, this was a very similar situation where the best rb in pl became a massive liability the next season. Dog sh*te came even then. Not much difference

MOTD pundits like the rest of english media will wax lyrical over Crystal (Barca) & Zaha (Neymar) tonight

dare not to watch..

You hit the nail on the head. Its like 2015/16 all over again. We have no football people in our board only business people who suck Romans Dick. And please nobody call Emenalo a football person.

@Richard P You were at the game Richard mate, in your view was this loss down to the managers team selection or players performances? 

 

Also never said Andreas wasn't good enough said he won't start yet because he isn't going to displace Gary or Luiz, stop trying to cling on to something said 6 months ago which wasn't even said because your point was shut down today, and your snitching back fired.  Being an obnoxious little prat in India might be cute in London it gets you shun and or your head kicked in, cultural differences I guess. 

I smell blood at CFC this year

"I am in London"... "you are an Indian"...

honestly. Do you have any other argument. Don't you get bored of that one thing, prattling on and on about that like a simpleton. I guess that's what happens when one does not have anything intelligent to say/counter with. It's alright, I get you!!!

"snitching"??? So basically you want me to throw back abuse at you rather than acting like an adult and asking the authorities to take control. I guess that's cultaural difference.

I guess growing biceps can only get you that far in life. So weird there is not an exercise that helps grow a brain. 

But bur but.. Andreas is not good enough, right? 

Now back on ignore you go!!!
