This paints a grim picture and I am fairly certain that these are questions raised by many of our supporters.
In terms of Camarasa, I suspect he is asking the question "Why on earth did I come here" ?

Before the season stated I believe I mentioned on HOL, and definitely outside HOL, that this would be another season of struggle with entertainment at a premium and this is how the season is shaping up.Lack of creativity,lack of goals and a hard watch.I believe many,many supporters do not look forward to a visit to Selhurst Park.

In all fairness youd be saying this if we were top with a 20 point lead

With respect I made my feelings known before the season was underway, besides I cannot envisage a scenario whereby we will be 20 pts clear of the pack.

Having seen how pedestrian we were, how little creativity and our unerring ability to lose the ball I begin to wonder what Schulpp, Kouyate and Milosevic bring to the team. How can we play the captain just in case we get a penalty? His free kicks and corners are woeful and he is always likely to get cards. He is not a good leader. All 3 are destroyers, not creators.

I think it is now or never for Benteke - play him from the start for 60 minutes then bring on Ayew.

Meyer was often bundled off the ball, yet most of the others were too. Only McArthur puts in a full stint.

Time to play McCarthy and if Camarassa was good enough for La Liga and the Premier League last season surely he should be given a chance?

Even if we get Batshuayi (or even Gayle) in January they will struggle until we get the supply department sorted.

I'm so fed up with our home form and with this thread that I've been reduced to correcting spelling mistakes - it's Milivojevic!

Seems the HF are going to cost CPFC again & besmirch the good name of the club(if proven/true).

IMHO, yet again embarrassing!

 


This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

I see that the Leicestershire paper are referring to the rolled up paper balls as "missiles" which gives totally the wrong impression.

Even the Sky commentator referred to bits of paper thrown on to the pitch

I’m not sure we learned anything new from the game.
We know that Schlupp is not a central midfield player, that we are quite good from a defensive and organisational standpoint and that we carry little threat going forward.
Because of our limited threat in open play, a big bugbear of mine is that we don’t seek to capitalise on our set pieces.
I’m fed up of witnessing PVA and Luka chipping the ball for the opposing keeper to catch the ball and launch counter attacks.
Leicester yesterday hit corners to the near post, far post , used dummy runs and cut backs.
Lots of variety and threat.
Our corners and set pieces have no variety and are so easy to read.
For a coach of Hodgson’s renown this is a surprise, in particular since we lack threat from open play and set pieces should be a big part of our armoury.

Spot on. We are crying out for an attacking midfield dead ball specialist which the manager is willing to play. Maddisson is a good focal point. Sunday was a return to the bad old days of some home games last season. Fear we will be seeing the same again, against even lowlier oppo than Leicester, starting a midfield with zero attacking threat, waiting for a defensive error from us and playing catch up.

This with bells on. Unless we can accommodate at least 1 attacking mid any striker will struggle.

Although we've got a good record in recent seasons against Leicester, yesterday's game looked like a tough match, and so it proved. They're a good side in fine, confident form and currently look a good bet for a top 6 place. Whether or not they can sustain that form remains to be seen.

Defensively, I thought we were just as good as they were. As always, Roy had us defensively well organised, sold and resilient (although conceding a third goal from corners in two games is a little worrying).

As every Palace fan knows, our weakness is our attacking and offensive play, and that certainly showed yesterday. That's not surprising given that our offensive midfield of McArthur, Kouyate, Schlupp, and Wilf were offensively matched against Barnes, Maddison, Tielemans and Perez. A midfield that must be worth in the region of £150m. And currently, Vardy is on a hot streak of form and we can only dream of having a striker with his scoring record and capability.

Were were beaten by the better team yesterday but gave them a tough game. We can only imagine how things might have turned out of Ayew had converted his chance early in the second half after what I thought was the best attacking move in the match.

Yes, it's frustrating watching a limited attack struggle against top 10 opponents, but Roy will consistently get the best out of the resources available to him which I'm confident will be good enough to keep us in the Prem. I do, though, look forward to when we are able to invest in some more effective attackers, and hope that won't be too far away.

Frustratingly though we have 2 attacking mids already at the club, Meyer and Camarasa who aren't really getting a sniff between them. Giving them a go might actually spread some confidence to our present strikeforce if they can build a partnership with them.

As long as it isn’t at the expense of Schlupp.

As I’m worried the world will stop turning on it’s axis, the four horsemen will appear and JC will get elected if he is dropped.

This is a joke right? The same Gayle that can't get into the Newcastle team who, I believe, may have scored less goals than us
