It is definitely time to haul Benteke off at half time. I am sick and tired of defending him. There is no way he coukd be tired because he ran less than everyone else against City. Indeed. This is a job for Sako, surely? Won't be knackered, will only have to do 45 minutes, wants to work and score. Get him on.

He came out for a ball which was his but our man (?) took the ball away from him. If he stays on his line he's criticised. Why don't you lay off him FFS. If he balls up a shot and let's it go through his legs for a goal fair enough I won't defend him. He's done nothing wrong and made a good save from the long range shot. Twice he came out for the ball, got it first time, the second, TFM I think, cleared it. Awful conditions for any keeper.

Benteke really is a waste of space. Positional sense I think being one of his worst attributes. Hate to say he actually looks dumb when he plays. Townsend a real underachiever in this team and I don't think he's actually much better now than he was when he first came to palace, I remember there was a time where he was the main receiver of abuse on this forum for not showing up. How can you perform so well against a team like city and put so much effort in and then perform like this and loose focus against Southampton. I know the games are close together but these are professional athletes. Dig in. The amount of time zaha plays a great ball into the box and no one is supporting him. Christ it gets on my tits. Edited by Jaha (02 Jan 2018 8.40pm) Yes, yes and yes. Please someone don't come on here telling us he wins balls in the air from goal kicks. Flicked on to whom? You may as well have the best corner kicker flying them in to a front line of midgets.

Top condition or not to play arsenal thursday, city sunday and the effort put into those games, I think to expect them not to be 100% 2 days later is very harsh.
the conditions they play in as well are not as good so it's harder on the legs. no one expects them to be 100% but as i said that is why you have 25 man squad you dont keep plying the same people all the time also City appear to be doing fine. We don't perform against the smaller teams it's a problem we have

You realise that the teams in the lower leagues are not as good, right? Just because they play more games doesn't mean they play at the same standard and of course they have the same issue. They also start their season earlier, typically don't have long cup runs, almost never have European duty and few (if any) of their players get called up for internationals.
We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football. |

WE do not apppear to have any energy or creativity in midfield tonight which means that Wilf Andros and Benteke have had no service at all. Problem is we have nothing on the bench to energise it. Could be a long night .

Players very tired, Benteke not good, Schlupp should be subbed with PVA.

Given that it takes three days before the time between matches is ceases ca level playing field why is it beyond the wit of man to fix it so that matches are at least that far apart for each team? A 50% differential in recovery time < 3 days is hardly fair.
Football, eh?

I’d roll the dice and stick big damo on up top instead of benteke.
