Crystal Palace (A), 20/05/25, 2000 BST. Build up and Match Thread

[Squeak]

Gomes has been rancid so far - huge downgrade on Semedo defensively.

Dunno why people think he's a defender.

 

[EnglishBob]

Not convinced by this Guedes-Sarabia pairing behind JSL. Sarabia will obviously be gone soon. How long do we have to carry Guedes for? Obvs we'll try to move him on asap, but could be tricky.

 

[YoungWolf]

Vitor learning a fair bit tonight

Maybe, but picking those two dweebs in the front three is on him. We aren’t learning anything new with them.

Midfield has been rubbish too. Get Cunha and Joao on at half timd

 

[prawnking]

No Munetsi no party

Post of the day for a including 'dweebs'

Neither will be here either so no idea why they are playing.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

Ait nouri has himself in the fancy pants shop window tonight, guedes is just shit, sarabia is well on the beach and rodgrigo has his boots on the wrong feet.
Apart from that.........

 

[Mel Evo]

We’ve got to find someone willing to take Guedes first…

 

[The Bear]

Guedes off for J. Gomes please and push Bellegarde up alongside Sarabia.

 

[jd1981]

Beyond our best 11 we just aren’t very good so it’s no surprise really. Don’t get playing players you intend to bin off though.

 

[Squeak]

H/T Punished for our own stupidity and half hearted approach. So complacent. Palace have been crap as well but that's not surprising given the weekend. Like a pre-season friendly. Changes needed as this is nowhere near good enough if we want to finish 14th.

 

[MobNet Wolf]

Completely rancid as we all knew it would be with that team. Hope everyone enjoys spending hundreds of pounds on their season tickets in the knowledge we’ve essentially sacrificed the same revenue in throwing this game.

 

[Deano]

Wasn't expecting a particularly joined up performance given the changes but that was poor. Apart from the goal and Guedes pot shot at the end we've given them nothing to think about and that's Palace without Guehi, Wharton, Eze and Mateta. Hopefully it hammers home the point that we need to replace any outgoings with players for now not projects..

 

[EnglishBob]

Do we know if Cunha not playing so as not to jeopardise his move?

 

[Derby Wolf]

Andre poor but he's having to do it on his own. Rodrigo looks a bit deer in headlights too.

You can't play Sarabia and Guedes at the same time, they don't offer enough.

Massive holes for them to exploit down our left.

 

[Squeak]

Do we know if Cunha not playing so as not to jeopardise his move?

We can speculate but as we've seen, his mind is clearly elsewhere.

 

[jd1981]

A bit of a reminder to everyone that unless recruitment is good this summer it’s going to be another struggle next season.
VP has done well but he can only do so much with so many inadequate players.

 

[Loki]

Vitor needs to play our joker if he wants to get anything out of this game. Not working for Rodrigo tonight either.

 

[WVWolf]

Worse 45 minutes Agbadou has had for us, which is largely down to him being class. But really off it tonight.

Rodrigo Gomes struggling badly.

Sarabia is bad, Guedes is shit, and Palace away is probably the worst fixture for them. Crowded middle of the pitch, under pressure all the time, so physicality needed.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I spent 5 long years watching Darren Ferguson.

I hate Gonçalo Guedes around 100 times more. So awful on every level.
