I felt a bit sorry for him in the first half. Some of the passes he received from Hennessy were pretty bad and he had no other option than to pass it back or hoof it up the pitch (which begs the question of why Hennessy can't just do it himself under less pressure). It was clearly part of the plan to play from the back but Hennessy has to get the ball out quicker and not try and force a short pass if there isn't one on.

The defending was collectively shocking in the first half. He was bad, particularly on their second, but was by no means the only one. Writing a 20-something year old off after his debut in a foreign league is daft though, let's give him until Christmas before deciding he's s***.

Don't have any ideas for a song and should probably try and learn to pronounce his name properly before starting to think of one.

Impressed you give me that credit, and would rather have eaten humble pie but yes I saw confirmed what I was worried about. Mind you PvA was absolutely woeful as well and only TFM came out with some credit on my compatriots side.
And yes, its early to judge but I am already sick of the new "system". The "Dutch disease of possession and control" without actually creating anything may have landed at Selhurst and I would love to have a coffee with FdB and tell him my thoughts and he may even learn from that. Ray in Houston's signature was on my mind most of the game yesterday........

That has to go down as being one of the greatest understatements I've ever seen on here...it's plainly ridiculous to boo a kid who is technically on the ball better than most in the squad.

I get that he needs to show more mettle and get up to speed quickly with the physicality of the game but our fans wont care about that if they can pin the blame on someone within 30mins of his debut.

The Voice of Reason In An Otherwise Mediocre World

I'm not a fan of booing at all, although the Sunderland game was an exception. The blokes in front of me booed at the end of the first half, and I don't like that. Its the first game of the season for god's sake.

I kinda feel bad for starting this thread now. I was being tongue in cheek to begin with. For anything negative I say on here, I want to assure you all that I keep all my negativity outside of Selhurst Park. I wasn't really condoning singing of a hurtful song after the guy's had one bad game or even 100 bad games. I have in the past applauded Wilbraham, Akinbiyi, Kuqi, Hennessey and Campbell. I applauded the whole team off at half time on Saturday as well as I was sat near the tunnel. I didn't feel like applauding them, but I did.

Zaha and Hennessey looked quite confused by the applause from the home fans though, I have to say!

There's always the league cup and the development squad
