Other teams change and bring on subs when clearly things aren't working. It was clear nothing was working early in the first half. The rhetorical question is when were our changes. There isn't a question mark. I'm tired of the team not responding when necessary. Around half of our performances so far this season have been poor; Villa was a decent performance. Man U was lucky. Everton solid.
You are right we can't score. God forbid we practice set pieces or something as innovative as that. If you can't score change something. We have who we have - do something different with them. Catch an opponent out. We are far too predictable and we have been worked out.

We are a poor team.

We have a poor keeper who lets any shot in that goes at his near post. We have two full-backs who cannot defend and criminally we have no backup for either position. Our centre-halves are slow and ageing. Our midfielders have no creativity in them (indeed thay can barely pass to their own team) - yet we have two creative midfielders on the bench every week. Our wide players seem to have forgotten how to take people on and cross the ball, and out forward's main talent is that he's good at running about.

I've followed Palace for over 50 years and have been a season ticket holder for 35, yet I cannot remember a time when I've been less enthusiastic about going to watch them play. Even in the dark days of the mid-80s there were players at the club I wanted to see play. Hodgson has sucked the life out of the players he has and has just one method of playing. How often do we score an early goal? We must be the lowest first-half scorers in recent years. Football is meant to be entertainment - if this is the best we can expect from Hodgson then it is time he went and took his overdue retirement. Not all his fault of course - the appalling transfer policy in recent times has left him with an expensive, ageing squad of players that are not going to get any better. Rather than risk signing youngsters from the Championship, we go for expensive PL castoffs or foreign players who rarely seem to make the grade for us.

If we are poor as you keep bleating on about, how are we third on current form this calendar year?

Poor keeper? Lets bring back Hennessey then he lets them in near post far post, high, low, all over.......wonder why you bother going at all??..Our lack of goalscorers is much more important than the keeper!
