Just another poorly managed game. 
 

3 in a row. 

This team. Just can’t finish their dinner 

Do you think that Maresca has finally figured out that using Nkunku as a lone striker against a back three might not be the best use of his talents? Or do you think he's decided he doesn't like him (as with Madueke, etc.)?

 

And there it is, 1-1, felt inevitable since Jackson went off

Too late now, anyone could see the game was going Palace's way from the 30th minute. 
 

Maresca has well and truly f**ked this one up yet again.

English fans booing him for the Euros final, most teams been doing it all season

Oh - they should boo Gareth Southgate for not putting Tyrick Mitchell in the squad

Been coming for the last 55 minutes be lucky to leave with a point 

That'll be blamed on Palmer but the whole thing came about cos of that fking useless Gusto who is so sh*t everything has to be passed back into trouble. He's been fking woeful all game yet again 

Is hand ball not a rule anymore?

Same thing happened at Leicester, MARESCA is not good enough

*Sir Gareth Southgate, remember that continued failure gets you a knighthood now.

Gusto pass was perfectly fine. Palmer messed up.

I don't understand the sudden loss of form and Maresca's stubbornness with the subs.

Hope it's just a blip 

Still only 1 shot on target ... Palace up to 5 now.

it depends, if the overall output is less with the striker you describe then i would prefer the fake striker who doesn't score as much but other players get loads of chances and goals 

ideally i would like a mix of both types, which should be possible for a club of our stature

i think we are playing really well today, but these chances need to be burried

but say we put a different striker in place of jackson and we play kinda sh*t but the 1 chance we get gets burried …

So you think the type of striker that you prefer makes sense in this situation?

Managers another dud

Palmer f**ked up big time there lost the ball in the middle of the pitch.

He went for it's time to start playing football again now they've scored. Rinse and f**king repeat the past few weeks. 

Maresca is absolutely abysmal with game management and in particular subs. 

So. Bloody. Predictable. 

 

Billion pound bottle jobs.

He did exactly the same thing last year with Leicester 

they were so far in front but would never make changes. It’s a massive fault 

Enzo should thank the ref for not getting that 2nd red. This team is specialized in squandering.

Last 4 games have been painful. Shocking turn of form. Players look lost and forgot the good habits they’ve built since Feb 2023. 

Madueke on the left alert

Panicking. 
 

Right on queue. 

Neto is so predictable.

I’ve seen fans blaming Palmer but not Jackson is to blame. Missed sitter after sitter. If we had world class striker we would have been 3-4 up. He’s not world class striker.
