Crystal Palace 0-0 Leeds Utd Match Thread - Square Ball pods Leeds Reaction & Palace Reaction are so funny!

And Pablo

Yep, all goners....apart from Summerville who's spat was out of public view.

You don't show up the boss.

What will the Yank do ?

[1964white]

How we have missed Pablo. Scandalous that there wasn’t even an effort to replace him. We’re paying the price for that all season.

One of the reasons why we have struggled all season.

Our recruitment is nothing short of shocking

[SG90]

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

They're lucky they're based in London, so they get access to these players that ourselves, Leicester, Villa, Newcastle etc don't.

Young southern players only tend to move North for Liverpool, scum or Man Citeh ie Carvalho). Bate is one exception, but that's as he knew he had no chance at Chelsea.

Our new signing Forshaw turning into a liability

That's what happens when you're more preoccupied with increasing capacity that could ultimately become redundant soon. To stay in the league, you need to improve the squad, not wing it on the cheap.

[Kennyb41]

yes the remnants of bielsa were a 1 nil loss to leicester and a 3 nil loss to villa - in other words what you're saying is since jesse properly took over we've not lost a game and conceding less than a goal a game rather than an average of 3 a game under Bielsa?

We actually looked okish v Leicester, then Big Jesse tried summert obviously different to Berts 3 week v Villa previous, and it went haywire, it's been nowt write home about but luck since. We were fortunate last night as well more than twice.

It's still running for him and the Clown, Leeds are now worse than Palace and have become relegation fodder for next season if we survive this.

I wanna see him park the bus v Citeh.

[Jaydog]

Manure at ER, Chelsea, Newcastle both times, Everton first time up, West Ham at ER, Spuds away, a few more. I'm not 10 anymore it's not about stats or the final result for me has to be about performance, because playing s**t and getting points won't last long...

For me Chelsea was our best performance of the season. Went toe to toe with them and were desperately unlucky to lose. Team Goal of the season (for me) too. Not sure what we’re doing anymore tbh but if it keeps us up.......

Maybe he should have a word with Fwank. The Toffees gave them a proper game at home. Very unlucky to lose.

Depends if they're more interested in the league or the Champions League?

We relied heavily on last ditch defending last night against a team without the creativity and technical ability of the likes of City/Arse and Chelsea. JM hasn't played any team of quality so far so it's gonna be interesting

Apart from Man City and Liverpool, and Chelsea, although they're a level below the top 2, there is no quality in this league. The rest are all average to dire, with the more expensive squads finishing higher. Hence why there's a musical chairs between where teams finish in the table season after season.

[Jaydog]

Pretty sure they’re equally interested in both. Losing the title to Pool would be a bitter pill I’d say. Maybe our boys should get some popcorn and watch last season at the Etihad for inspiration. It can be done even if it seems impossible

[CHAPELALLMAN]

Absolutely. We don't have a proper no 10 for example who can make defence splitting passes. Rodrigo and Klich are not really up to this. It's one reason why the creativity is so poor.

[SG90]

Also it's a different type of match. All the pressure is on Citeh and anything over than a huge victory is failure for them. With a free hit and the crowd rocking, it should settle the nerves. The last two games we had a lot of pressure on us, so hopefully we'll be more relaxed.

[CHAPELALLMAN]

We don't have the players with technical ability to play like prime Brazil. The sooner the fans realise this the better. If we want to play that way, we need more technical and skilful players, not players who run.

Exactly - things wont improve in this respect untiil the club employs someone who can recruit astutely.

[1964white]

No we haven't....

The standard of our football has been nowhere near the quality of previous seasons, Faaip.

[1964white]

I don't know if you noticed last night SG.

The Yank actually set out to win that game and we didn't have a chance on goal.

Read that back - He actually set out with the team and formation he put out to win the game, he wasn't going for a draw, he put out what he thought best to win it.

And we created zilch.

Where is our next point coming from ?......You might get your wish of parking the bus, it seems like the ONLY way.

At least we didn't lose the game.

We lost 4-1 last season when Palace were not that good under Roy Hodgson, a far better side with Vieira in charge.

And when Marsch saw we didn't have the quality to win the game, he made the adjustments to make sure we protected the point.

I take it you'd have preferred to gamble everything on a goal and then get sucker punched 1-0? I said on the 60th minute it would finish 0-0 as neither side looked like they could breakdown each other.

And Marsch is the last person who should be getting the blame for the poor quality in the team.

"Where is our next point coming from?" You said that about Palace too.

We weren't good against Manure in either game.

We allowed Newcastle back in the game after dominating & missed opportunities at St James Park.

Played very well in the first half v the Barcodes at ER, once again not putting the ball in the net came back to haunt us as we went to pieces in the 2nd half.

Your man Klich stupidly gave Rudriger a tap when all he had to do was shadow him, yes we were unlucky not to acquire at least a point.

We were unlucky at Spurs, given a football lesson by Kane & Son at ER.

Naivety cost us a point v the Hammers at ER

I do agree we cannot continue to perform so badly & expect to gain positive results in the long term.

That should mean we're overdue a good performance soon then.
