I for one was very pleased to see Macca back in action today. It seems to me that his absence has coincided with a gradual decline in performances.

Even though they weren't playing, I thought the ref should have awarded a penalty to Liverpool. Why break the habit of a lifetime.

Schlupp yep shouldnt be starting and many people have stated this and Edouard what you expect from the guy he is not be played as a striker and you see him coming across to the wing doing a lot of defending the role Wilf should be doing also he is getting almost no service when he does manage to go up top. PV is showing he will play only one way Roy was the same the big difference is Roy setup to not lose also he didnt have the quality we now have yet still managed to do better job. You really talk nonsense. Zaha’s goal a fluke! Zaha did a lot of defending today. He didn’t say Mateta started, he did come on though, if you watched Edited by Spiderman (12 Feb 2022 7.50pm)

I only saw the first half , fell asleep for the second (true story). Take conors goals and assists away and we’d be bottom 3. I’ve thought the same about Gallagher for some time and is why I find the “work in progress” type comments hard to accept.

Very frustrating performance overall. Passing and decision making in final third today was very poor. Zaha and Ayew guilty of killing many attacks in promising positions by misplacing a pass or losing possession. Bad day at the office and another opportunity gone where we could have collected 3pts. Clutching at straws for positives but it was good to see MacArthur back, another good game from Mitchell and the two CBs looking very assured. Next up an easy 3pts against Chelsea and then the Roy derby! I wonder how much longer it will take Ayew and Zaha to "transition" into players that pass well and don't lose possession, or for our 'fun boy three' strikers to become effective strikers (etc, etc).

Safe to say our game won't be the first on MOTD tonight!
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

I watched both games thanks. I meant none of the other attacking players over the last two games have offered much whether it was a start or from the bench. No fluke with Zaha’s goal against Norwich. It was a superb finish from a high quality player. It’s not the first time he’s scored from outside the box (Chelsea at home, Huddersfield away) which shows it was not a fluke. The penalty was a slip and could happen to anyone. Don’t see why Zaha wanting to play in CL annoys you so much? He’s probably missed the chance at this stage of the career but in his prime he would have been better than lots of players at that level.

We are poor away from home because of our slow build up. We have no counter attacking ability at all because we are too busy fannying about at the back I don't understand why PV persisted on his play from the back nonsense. same regardless of the opposition.

I dont think PV knows his best front three. In my opinion for what its worth it is Edouard Mateta and Olise but Olises flair is sacrificed because Joel needs too much cover these days. New RB is an urgent priority for us to progress

Well in my mind they may well not be starting by the time we've fully transitioned. After this summer's transfer window is when we'll really see what PV's CPFC looks like.
