Re: Crystal Palace v Leeds Utd Match Thread - Phillips starts for Leeds

Post by Cjay »

Wasn't great and we needed the win for me.

The lack of quality in this squad is an absolute disgrace.

Palace have spent far less than us and have infinitely more quality.

The passing was dreadful and has been all season, the amount of aimless long balls was dire.

The lack of creativity and quality in midfield is pathetic.

We have massive huge issues in this squad.

The style is to direct for me but I suspect a large part of that is down to a distinct lack of midfield quality.

It's to narrow for me, I worry what better sides will do to us in the wide areas.

I am far from convinced by Marsch and his system but the squad isn't his fault and that is a huge part of why we are where we are.

It's bottom 3 quality wise and is all huff and puff and running and 3 people are responsible for that and Marsch isn't one of them.

Greenwood is clearly his Roberts.

Unbeaten run goes on.

We were clueless again but a point in London is GOOD.

Have to save Marsch likes square pegs far more than his esteemed predecessor.

Koch bleh
Klich bleh

The whole setup bleh
Marsch OUT

Football has undergone a process of bielsification; pressing and possessing, passing rather than dribbling, intercepting high up the field rather than making last-ditch tackles, are in vogue.

Both games against Palace and haven't seen what the hype about Gallagher is all about. Diving fairy.

Couldn't bring myself to watch the game being in the middle of a workday and the stress levels surrounding it. Wasn't much better following the text-along in here though.

Sounds like it was an awful watch, but a point is a point. Can't see our unbeaten run continuing after this game so three points would've been handy. Still think we can hit the magic 36 points, though I reckon 38 is the definite safety line currently. Squeeky bum time.

I actually think the 16 day break didn't do us any favours. Palace looked so much sharper than us having played 3 times in that time.

That's a recruitment issue which needs to be pinned on the last manager and the DOF. Marsch has inherited all this, poor guy.

We were poor and barely threatened so under the circumstances a point is all we could expect from that game.

A point away from home in London normally would be a good result but given our next three opponents I’m not sure it’s going to be good enough.

Probably because he's had 4 seasons of first team football? What do the u23s have to do with it?

The football is dire.

A point in London is always good.

We don't have to stand on one and refuse to accept the other.

Zaha should have been sent off and Gallagher should've had about 3 yellows for diving.

Wasn’t pretty but it is a good point. Palace have taken some big scalps at home this season.

Football at this stage of the season bearing in mind where we are in the league always tends to be frantic.
