Palace 1-0 Wolves: Verdict Thread

Shite.

That is all.
 
Defence sit too deep, keeper had one job, midfield has 4 reverse gears and neutral, wing backs below par and forwards playing as individuals. Going to be a long run in to the end of the season. Boly best of a bad bunch.
 
Crap.

Not in a relegation fight but we need a change of mentality and fast. Some players were horrendous today, both in play and in attitude.
 
Well, we probably didn’t deserve to lose that (palace were pretty shit), but we didn’t deserve to win it either.

The first half was awful, we passed back to the defence multiple times when we had the chance to get a cross in. The midfield gave the forwards nothing to work with.

The goal we conceded, Donk just ran past the player like a complete amateur, Boly didn’t get the block where it looked to me like he should have done, and Patricio maybe should have done better. Poor goal to concede.

We only started to create anything after that when Adama came on, and Jose went close with a header.

plus points - Neto and Jose looked decent in the build up play, Adama was lively when he came on and Kilman had a really good game.

negative points - Coady can’t defend one on one at all. Moutinho isn’t at the same level that he used to be any more, he can’t keep starting games. Semedo played okay but doesn’t have a left foot so a lot of moves down the left broke down. Pod was really poor most of the game and didn’t really contribute. Nuno’s tactics if it was him driving that awful display were bad, we can’t keep passing backwards all the time.

And then there’s Leander dendoncker - he was poor defensively today, slow to react, not winning headers, his passing was shocking - and then you add the usual awfulness in the opposition third and have to ask what the point is in him being on the pitch? I’d be dropping him for otasawie now, he couldn’t possibly be any worse
 
Dreadful. Sat back and barely created a thing until they scored and even then ran out of ideas. We need to scrape 3 wins from somewhere and stay up there is nothing else in this season for us and it is our absolute priority. Patricio is becoming a big problem that shot has to be saved and it's been said in too many games this season, a keeper at this level has to be doing a lot better, it's not good enough.
 
we dont have fun on the pitch anymore, dont wanna score goals..just defend
 
If anyone knows how we can get out of this please speak now.

Slow, lacking in confidence, easy to defend against, predictable when we do get 30 yards from goal.

Glimpses that Jose might help once he starts to click with players but right now we are fucked.
 
Wim shit, passing first half left a bit to be desired, second half passing was appalling at times. If we play this system we have to keep a clean sheet minimum. Feels like we're not gunna win another game this season.....obviously we will.
 
If I had a virtual away season ticket I’d have torn it up and thrown it on the pitch this afternoon.
 
I thought we were closer to our old selves in many ways, but we do really lack creativity and danger.

On the naughty step -

Rui - thought should have done better on the goal
Donk - awful non-challenge for the goal
Podence - stinker
Coady - radar needs calibrating

Good debut for WJ - on another day could have had a brace.
 
We have a problem if we can't even get a draw against a team that were clearly inferior to us on paper. I'm honestly lost for words at this result.
I can't see us getting points for the next few games with performances like this. Lucky for us the bottom 3 don't look very good. If one of them pick up form we could be in trouble.
Massively disappointed today. It's another knock in confidence for a team that is low on it already.

We are in a relegation fight. We are bottom of the form table, barely create a chance and don't look like winning any games - arsenal and Leicester coming next. Our saving grace is the bottom 3 do look really bad but we can't be complacent. This season is now all about scraping any old 3 wins from somewhere to ensure we stay up

Some of the play was great at times; but just broke down at the "killer moment".
 
Terrible, still have no striker on the team. We are now in a relegation fight. As the squad stands now I don’t see us scoring 8 goals the rest of the season. We have to stop going for Portuguese and Brazilian players as strikers, they are not effective in the EPL, at least not for the Wolves
 
Will get fully into my thoughts later, but for now that was dreadful. We don't look like scoring, we don't look like creating, and the last few games we have just been boring to watch. Being dull, and not get results isn't a great combo.

Still 9 clear of the relegation places, that bottom 3 aren't coming out of their this season.

I really dont think this is an individual issue, squad issue
 
I said in the match thread that there isn't a team that I am confident we could beat. We are without question the worst team in the PL at the moment. Thank god for those early points because if not for that we would be relegation certainties. I'm still not as convinced as most that we aren't going to get sucked into a relegation fight as we just don't look capable of winning another game.
