Crystal Palace v Leeds Utd Match Thread - Bamford starts for Leeds

[andrewjohnsmith]

Surprised you want him sacked Paul. Respect your opinion but you were a 6 the other day so can 1 game change it that dramatically. I mean who isn’t disappointed with the Palace game but some serious individual errors cost us. They really changed the game. I don’t think JM is the future but I think he’ll keep us up. And sacking him for who? Some quick fix numpty. Don’t see whose out there as Poch is a pipe dream. He ain’t coming here

I think opinion dropped heavily with a lot of people this weekend. I went from 7 to 5. It's an accumulation. At Villa we blame the red card. Previous games we've blamed officials and negative opposition tactics. Yesterday there was nobody to blame but ourselves. I said I'll wait until the world cup. But I turned a lot more pessimistic in just one day.

I get that, but if he goes who exactly is coming in. And the players will be the same. Needs a minimum of 6 more points between now and the WC. Maybe 5 would be acceptable. 2 hard games back after the WC. If it goes badly he may well go then.

So someone like you knows more about the player than 2 managers that are with them on a daily basis, ....yeah reet.

And yet you know better than the managers that are with him on a daily basis that Cooper is crap?
BTW Cooper is crap but slightly less crap than Liorente.

Correct.

My eyes have hard evidence of years of Cooper.

I know virtually Jack about our younguns and their readiness for 90 mins in the best league in the world.

I think he deserves the season, but I'd only get rid if our situation was dire like last season. Contrary to popular belief, I wanted Bielsa to finish the season, but unfortunately we couldn't afford the risk. If we finish 17th or above, I don't really think the board can complain. I've seen nothing from them to suggest we should be aiming higher.

I do hope the 49ers are allowed to put money in in January. No way we can afford to chance it again.

I wonder if being dropped will fire Llorente up or will it make him even worse?

Hope that's the case too. Don't know how that impacts the ownership structure though. If they put in more money, their share goes up.

Seemed a mental thing with Llorente. I know they work with sports psychologists. Would hope a rest will bring him back with a bit more clarity and composure.
