When you're 6 yards away from the goal, you can't shoot right at the goalkeeper. He's been good so far, but this team needs a goal.
yup but he wasn't good before that. I think he should play higher tbh. Trade place with LCY. I think Crystal Palace played really well second half even though they had hard time getting the ball inside the net (not just Lee). LCY did well too. I think this game showed he can be an offensive threat. Should have buried 2 chances, could have gotten 2 assists. If he can do this throughout the season then it'll be great, but you never know. Not all team is Bournemouth and they parked the bus. Also I like Zaha, wish we had someone like him.
That's because Bournemouth pressed hard in the first half and completely sat back in the second half. Crystal Palace didn't improve, they were just given more possession by Bournemouth. A trade-off you get from everyone in your team defending. If they don't improve, Lee might be back in the Championship. Also, not all team is as sh*t as Bournemouth.
Yup that's why I said not all team is Bournemouth. Also when Bournemouth had their chances, Crystal Palace d looked really shaky. They need to fix their defence.
Reading through their forum it seems like they liked Puncheon in second half but not so much Cabaye (missed the penalty). I've only watched them play when LCY got on but all I remember from Puncheon was losing that possession dangerously in their side of the field, and that through pass that was off, also that assist. I also thought Cabaye played really well, he is one of the most important player for this team. LCY gets a nice review, he just needs to be more sharp with his shooting. I think he just wanted to get his name in the scoreboard and wasn't as composed as he should. More finesse ironically.
He didn't look that impressive but was rated man of the match with a rating of 9.2 on whoscored. They are not the most reliable, but it's still surprising. Thought Cabaye was pretty cr*p today, missing a penalty and all that. Nope. 도토리 키재기.
Puncheon seems to be rated really high by the fans for this game. I personally thought Cabaye was better or at least he linked up with Lee pretty well. The fans didn't seem to like Cabaye though for an obvious reason. Still I'm hoping LCY leaves or at least fire Pardew. He's so shit.
It's worrying. With Jedinak and Bolasie gone, Crystal Palace are going to struggle whoever the manager is.
players' match performances get judged so variably. some people respect those who do the little things consistently right with "tidy" play. while there are some players who look reckless but can produce moments of magic leading to a goal or assist. supporters of the club would likely forgive the latter type of player for producing the result while underrating the former type of player. we as fans of individuals, moreso than clubs, will always have difference perspectives about how a player performed since our priorities aren't the same. the newspaper ratings get taken too seriously, just like fifa rankings. soccer's an abstract and subjective sport
Still has a week left to figure things out. Pardew did Jedinak dirty. Crystal Palace needs a solid DM to push every MF foward. Still if LCY wants to play AM he needs to show he can offer something with goals or assists. I think I saw a glimpse of that today but that was against a pretty bad team.
Loic Remy is expected to join Crystal Palace on loan. If that's the case, I doubt Pardew will play 4-2-3-1 but play 4-4-2. Not a great news given that PArdew doesn't consider him a first choice RM.
Yeah, but Benteke and Remy are both big signings for the club, and I expect Pardew to build the team around them. So I reckon 4-4-2 is very likely.
not the best reflection of Pardew's long term planning to change formations all of a sudden and then flip flop around in it.
Because he's a striker. Both Benteke and Remy would be best used in the centre rather than the wings although Remy has occasionally played as a winger in the past. Best way to combine the two player would be to use Benteke and Remy as the top 2 with Remy trailing slightly behind Benteke.
oh right that makes sense, I thought you meant Remy was going to be a RM playing ahead of LCY. I think in a 442 setting, LCY can play as a wide midfield. Then again, I'm hoping he leaves so...
Wilshere also rumored which I think would be bad outcome for LCY to be even more reason to be kept as insurance but not played.
Unfortunately given his age and injury history, with a wife as well, I think he's going to take the safe payday option end of day.
