Speaking ahead of Palace's match with West Brom in Hong Kong today (Saturday), de Boer said: "I am very fond of 4-3-3 which I have played in all my life, but on the other side you have to look at your squad and I think that right now 3-4-3 is the best system."

Which strikes me as complete and utter bollocks. What has always always happened when we've played with wingbacks? What formation did we play when we turned over the bin dippers? Chelsea? Arsenal?

If he thinks 3-4-3 is the best system for us right now without a transfer budget of about £100m then IMHO he has been taking some pretty reality-bending narcotics. Longer term, maybe, but FFS we all saw how well it worked on Saturday. Utter toilet.

He has won 4 titles, more than any other Palace manager.
All this hysteria because we have lost one game in which we had more chances, but strikers didn't convert. He can't be blamed if a striker misses surely.

The four titles were a bit like saying that Celtic is a great team because of all the titles they have won.

No-one is complaining about the lack of goals from us but it's the three that we conceded that is causing concern

Does that mean that we won't lose to Liverpool because we never do?

Schteve McLaren won the title there. What matters is here and the jury is out, which is why his changes shouldn't be so dramatic.

'Respect the point' is Pulis and Sam's mantra. 'Respect any point' might end up being our's for Frank.

We didn't have more chances. They scored 3, had the 2nd minute shot 12 yards out from the cross on our left where there wasn't a left back and the two one on ones they should've scored. To say se had more chances is taking clutching at straws to an extreme.

But it's just one game. However, a lot of us are laying out these issues where we see this might be going and end up after 5 games and 4 winnable ones, and then 3 vs the top 4.

If we win or courageously draw on Saturday, many will change their opinion.

It was one game people, if he does that for 3/4 games consecutively then your groans are well placed, it will prove he doesn't learn, but for one game.


get a life.

People seem to be proclaiming that he's completely inflexible, and will persist with this system even if we're heading for relegation. I've got no idea where this perception comes from and fully expect the system to change if it doesn't work out.

That has as much meaning as checking the Lottery's six most produced numbers and expecting to win the jackpot on Saturday by doing all six. Football fixtures, like lottery balls, don't have a 'memory'.

It stems from the fact he said 3-4-3 suits us more which it very obviously did not. He brought in 3 players and it still didn't. It's still at least 3 players short. To do what he would like to do would cost £100 mil to do it properly and safely right now.

He wants to play 3-4-3 because that's the trend and is what the top 7 managers are playing. Well we're not top 7 but bottom 7. Either it's ignoring what squad are and aren't capable of or it's a very poor appraisal. More the former than the latter with the haste Frank decided on committing to 3-4-3.

This is where the perception of stubbornness has come from.
