Crystal Palace v AFC Bournemouth

Defensive coach with PL experience. We have been crying out for one for four years. Our level of understanding defending is embarrassing.

How many other teams would score three or more goals in three successive away games and win only one of them....

He sticks out in the memory as being a particularly bad referee; can't remember why though (they all just start to blend in to one amorphous blob of incompetence).

I heard it was his last EPL game. at 54 years of age he has retired.
How the EPL still has refs at that age amazes me.

Ibe is frustrating tbf....i've defended him but i can't see it working for him in any position.....certainly not a 10 as has been suggested on here as he just doesn't seem to be able think fast enough to release the ball....doesn't make use of his pace as every run he makes is stop....start ...stop ...start...stop ....start....no striker can time a run off him......think we may have seen the last of him....championship beckons.

Interesting, but I reckon Ibe was head and shoulders above any of his team mates today. He looked threatening every time he went forward today and his end product was quite uncharacteristically good. He MIGHT have just saved himself for another season.
 
We have a Serious problem with Mentality !

5 goals conceded at mid- table Palace !

ManeffingChester City could not even manage that at Brighton ....Brighton and Hove Albeing ..not even after knowing we did!

i just dont know how to view this League !
 
Just glad season is over, been quite depressing tbh considering we stayed up.
Some really dog defending today as per, Clyne (2nd goal) back to Liverpool useless, Simpson (1st) & Cook in particular who looks uncomfortable without Ake next to him. Alot of players slipping aswell summed it up. Please make that the last game Ake plays in CM he's obviously uncomfortable aswell and our best CB. A big window for EH, I do think we will lose 1 or 2 and he's going to have to get the replacements correct because his track record on transfers has been more dross than good. Hopefully he can get rid of alot of this dross in the squad and get a few young uns out on a decent loan (Simpson, Travers, Mousset) as they really need it. As it stands we're slowly doing what Swansea did, going down few places each season and then eventually it catches you.
 
Loans out no good.....its about NOW and keeping in a safe mid-table position next season.......the infatuation with loans is a false dawn....claptrap ! The players themselves are mainly concerned about their wages and are fed Sh#t by Agents while they are away.....they dont think about doing well for Afcb or its fortunes in season 21-22 ! Two years time...if results are the same and no progress made the fan who pinned hopes on Loans is left hanging Judas!
Ive just come off the phone after a lengthy conversation about loans with a Swansea fan....he shares my view on the effect of them overall !
Clyne ffs ! Get off the roof with that one!

Well done for pointing out the 5 games we showed up in. I could list 20 we didn't turn up in. 7-1 Burnley agg, all those 2-0's at newcastle, leicester, cardiff, wolves, everton and fulham saints hom etc and that's not even bringing up the top 6.

What on earth were we thinking of when we had Ake on loan ?

Right ! Defoe was another awful loan .....right Bill? , or is it only loaning players out you have a problem with... bit of a billy big bo*locks PL attitude that isn’t it ?
 
Ake was a loan...Yes we got lucky with that one. Chelsea tend to loan out large numbers so someone will get lucky eventually! Atsu didnt work out though....hardly played one game did he ? And Clyne is not up to the hype is he ?
