His free kicks were rubbish today aswell. The midfield of today is fine when away but Kouyate or Meyer MUST start at home. As I keep saying Hodgson is an absolute master as long as we are away. Hate to use this word but frankly his tactics and selections have been exposed in home fixtures this season. How many more times does the Selhurst faithful have to watch a defeat for it to register with some people on here that Hodgson’s approach is not working at home this year. As he seems unwilling or incapable of changing said approach, expect more disappointing defeats at home. Wasn’t it Einstein who said something about doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different outcomes? Roy’s stubbornness and rigidity is an asset in this game but also a drawback. I wonder how good you would be at kicking a ball with force and accuracy, even 70 minutes after taking a boot and set of studs at full force, to your crotch?

Love Lukka and his committed displays but his corners are at times woeful we never look like scoring Coppell was at the game today might be worth having a chat with him as we used to be really good in the early 90s at corners.The art of the near post flick on seems to have disappeared from the game.Also gutted about today but we will beat the Weed at Wembley this is our year come on you Palace Brighty was good in the air, as well as the centre backs. Wrighty would do the rest in the box if it fell anywhere near him. Like a lot of skills, it takes practice to deliver a decent corner. Does Luka visit Selhurst to practice taking corners from the 4 corner flags ? You might laugh at that but Glenn Hoddle use to spend hours with a tennis ball on a piece string kicking it against his garage when he was a youngster.

Pretty good, Becky, if I was a professional footballer who was the designated set piece taker at a premier league club. Not having a go at Luka, he is doing as he is told. It is up to the manager to recognize we have a problem with creating goal chances from corners and set pieces this season.

Its taken me until now to recover from today’s abject performance and comment on it. Brighton were poor today, 3 shots, 2 goals. Us, 15 shots no goals from open play. It’s the same old story I’m afraid. Yes we are unlucky to be on the wrong end of that result but when you continually have the same results at home you have to ask yourself the question whether you are doing something wrong. Clearly we are. Roy sort it out ffs. No more comment. Going to bed pissed and even more pissed off.

The lad takes a good pen but for the love of god Roy is as inactive as a sloth on these things. The midfield of today is fine when away but Kouyate or Meyer MUST start at home.

Yes, Roy really should stop taking them.

Good points well put. I think the question is why Roy doesn't change the team at home with what he has ? Does he genuinely believe it will all turn good sometime soon ? Is he fearful that it will effect our away form ? Is he happy with trying to scrape a point at home and get the wins away ? Does he worry about the sack ? 5 questions just there, probably others have far more. The thing is he did change the team today from the one which I saw at Burnley last weekend. The midfield changed and the goalkeeper.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'We are much too nice' by Midlands Eagle The Knockaert challenge ....... he was clearly the designated player to ’do a number’ on Luka by Mr Houghton and escaped wrongly with a yellow. No one returned the compliment and in my opinion this is et another example of our softness. Especially today given the fact that it was a derby against bitter rivals we did not possess that nasty side that you need and as i have said in another blog, this match was tailor made for Kouyate, In years gone by we had the players who would sort matters out, alas now I can online think of CK and perhaps Meyer. We are far too nice and suffer as a result particuarly providing protection to the likes of Zaha.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'We are much too nice' by Midlands Eagle Brilliant post. I've long thought Luka isn't captain material on the basis that he leaves Zaha out to dry by not absolutely crippling people for kicking him about, he doesn't even get at the ref, which as Captain he's allowed to do with a level of protection: captain's privilege. Roy Keane he is not. Knockheart and the black fella, number 8 ran that midfield kicking everyone (especially Zaha) about and we totally melted. The ref wasn't interested in enforcing the rules properly as demonstrated by Brighton still having 11 on the pitch at half time. Any good captain would have instructed his team to get in on them hard. Murray had a naughty kick at one of our boys too, there should have been a f***ing melee for that. We are too nice, bollockless in fact. Embarrassing. Edited by ChrisGC (10 Mar 2019 6.50am)
