that was a shite half...1 effort on target from a free kick...same old weakness in defence.

 

clyne is a waste of time as our attacking width - in the first 3 mins he had acres of space and loads of time to put a cross in and hit a slow weak ball in that was cut out...set the tone for the lack of any end product from him for the half...he takes too much time, does not deliver and slows it down too often - a liability when asked to be an attacking threat.

 

as for their goal same old deficiencies from our centre halves - caught out and guilty of not getting into position to defend the final ball.

 

i'll be stunned if we win this

Possibly our most comfortable half of the season, yet we still concede.

 

Lovren needs fucking off and we need a proper left back.

With Mane out we basically have no width at all.

 

Clyne keeps knocking the ball about ten yards in front of him and giving it straight to Palace.

That goal sums up Lovren. Beaten by a single ball down the channel to one of the slowest players in the league. Mediocre, brain-dead, square-footed "defender". 

 

Too right.

 

Even if we can't get van Dijk we need to sell Lovren.  Inexplicably the media rate him, so we can probably get most of our 20m back.  Get shed, get 2 top CBs in as our top priority in the summer.

Wasn't a lot to worry about until the one moment we switch off. Lovren sold himself and Clyne is fucking useless at trying to get back in a defensive position, it's like he thinks his pace can get him out of trouble but can't be arsed using it half of the time, he really has regressed this season imo and offers little in an attacking sense. Pity Can fucked up an easyish chance to get a shot on target, thought palace were there for the taking up until they got in behind us.

 

Having to see that smug cunt Allardyce smiling on the touchline is more than a man should have to take. I'd like to handcuff the fat cunt to bed frame and electrocute the fat cunt until he's a gibbering mess.

I'm trying hard not to, but I can't help but see the words "smash and grab" written all over this one.

 

Ahead from a piece of genius from Coutinho. Nearly opened them up a couple of other times, but it's largely resembled the walking football episode of Father Ted when we've had the ball. The tempo needs to be upped significantly in the second half.

 

As for their goal, it's criminal defending from the entire back four. Just really fucking poor!

 

Still think we'll win if we come out fast in the second half, but Palace have the pace and ability to cause us lots of problems still.
