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

[1964white]

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 ?

Jesse will put his arm around his players as he did after the game last night

Also, Marsch is a good communicator & discusses with his players any problems they need to iron out.

All the ingredients of good management.

[1964white]

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

This period reminds me of the George Graham, not pretty to watch, however stopping the rot.

[1964white]

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

Adapting to new systems all takes time, SG.

I believe Jesse has done remarkably well with the tools he's been handed.

Forget Villa, they caught JM & our lads cold.

We were unlucky at Leicester.

Found the fight to beat Norwich when all looked lost.

Wolves was a crazy game, but we showed courage, composure & fight with our depleted line-up against their ten men.

A wonder goal saved Southampton's blushes.

Watford game was similar to last night's performance, we defended strongly & in the end the quality of Raphinha & Rodrigo told to earn us a deserved three points.

Some great backs to the wall defending v Palace last night, no chance of us conceding four against a much improved Eagles side under Vieira.

[1964white]

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.

The writing was on the wall late July '21, even more so in January, it got worse in February, by March we were in a right old mess.

[1964white]

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.

That's what you get when resting on your laurels, also allowing decent players to leave & wasting money on new signings no netter than we already have.

[The Subhuman]

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

Since Marsch took over? I agree

[1964white]

Since Marsch took over? I agree

The quality wasn't great pre-Marsch, couldn't score goals, hopeless, naive defending, out of many games in the first 30 minutes, confidence at the lowest level cumulating in us picking up very few points.

Eleven points in our last five games has at least given us a chance & hope of staying in the PL.

[Rook]

If we aren't in the bottom three by the time the Brighton match rolls around, i'll eat my hat.

That match last night was rank. And so was our attacking play.

I'm curious, how many goals have we scored this season that have come from our strikers?

[Kennyb41]

Since Marsch took over? I agree

Yes, i cannot see anything attacking wise that is gonna trouble teams, and if we're gonna play like last night when that was probably the best side is could put out we're gonna be heavily dependent on luck, Palace could and should've won that game and we were never at the races even after the rest we've had and the time together.

We haven't a cat in hells chance of beating Citeh and if they score early ( which i want) and we have to then start looking for a goal, they will put us to the sword.

So are all you Bert outers gonna get your wish and hope he sets up to try and get a draw and not concede goals, because i hope they score early and we get fcking trounced, which will happen as soon as they score and we have to come out

And i wanna see when you get your wish how this bunch of now shite try and shore up the defence, coz i will 100% guarantee that these lot will not be able to do a Everton v Liverpool first 70 mins before Liverpool eventually scored.

They will score earlier than that and we're fcked.

[CHAPELALLMAN]

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.

That's called game management, which is a skill which Bielsa often lacked.

[CHAPELALLMAN]

You mean like when they thrashed us 7-0 under your idol ?

[CHAPELALLMAN]

I asked that question a while back - bear in mind that we haven't signed a striker since 2018 if you believe that Rodrigo was signed as a no 10 and JKA was not really a signing.

[Kennyb41]

You mean like when they thrashed us 7-0 under your idol ?

Yep, and you can keep going on and on and on and on about that because there was many a reason for it including Berts refusal ( fcking good on him) to park the bus.

Now after our thrashing by Citeh on Saturday i want you to come on here and tell us why we got thrashed again when he has a virtual full squad available where only PB is missing.

Because with what's available atm Bert would take that game to Citeh like last year, we'd probably lose, but this Saturady we are definitely gonna lose and the scoreline doesn't matter jackshit to me.....So go on Big Jesse shore up the defence and show the loonies why this shower of shite can't keep Citeh at bay, and open the fcking floodgates ......PLEASE!

[Rook]

I asked that question a while back - bear in mind that we haven't signed a striker since 2018 if you believe that Rodrigo was signed as a no 10 and JKA was not really a signing.

Let's try to work it out.

Bamford's got 2
Gelhardt's got 2 ( Was he playing as a striker when he got them though? )
James has 4 ( Again, how many of those did he score whilst playing as our striker? )
Rodrigo has 6 ( Has he played as a lone striker this season, i don't recall in all honesty )

No wonder we're in a relegation dogfight.

Our strikers never score any goals.

[Kennyb41]

Yee ha, i've just listened to Big Jesse after match on the BBC, ' we're gonna go after Citeh and won't sit back '

Fcking good luck with that Jess.
We're gonna get pummeled

[Changnoy]

jansson, poveda, summerville - to name a few who fell out with Bielsa

And we've been paying the price of losing Jansson ever since

[Rook]

Yee ha, i've just listened to Big Jesse after match on the BBC, ' we're gonna go after Citeh and won't sit back '

City will have an absolute field day, and tear us to shreds.

I've no doubt that we'll need to beat Brighton and Brentford to stay up .

I would like us to win every game we play from now until the end of the season, whether it’s against Citeh or whoever. It would seem some clown on this forum will be crying with laughter to see us lose (nay, be pummelled).

I can only assume that’s either because he’s desperate for his own skewed perspective to be justified and his futile agenda vindicated, or perhaps it’s because he’s a troll and not a proper fan.

Cheers from Eastern Europe.

Just think that the City game is all about competing and not getting trashed like we did in the last bout. I always hope we can nick something from a game but for the Man C and Arsenal games I can only hope for a miracle.

Not sure why, but I keep thinking we can get a point from Chelsea and Klich gets to laugh at Rudiger this time around.

We'll see.
