Interviewer: Well Roy, your boys took one hell of a beating. Do you think the 0-5 scoreline reflects the actual game?
Roy: Well no, not really. We'd set out our stall to go in 0-0 at half time but when they scored first after 90 seconds that was plan A out of the window. Not having a plan B, I think our overall possession stats of 17% means we did well given the circumstances.

3-0 Chelsea

I’d be happy with two meaningful efforts on goal in a game which would be a 100% improvement.
To stretch the ambition further would a second goal by us from more than 150 corners this season be too much of an ask?
That’s assuming we get enough players forward to win a corner.
Remember the anguished debate as to whether we actually managed a single touch in the Liverpool penalty area in the recent game?
The Hodgson fans insisted we did get a touch as a vindication of his tactics and to prove his attacking tactical prowess.

Not sure I am going to watch it. Unfortunately Roy has made me hate watching the team love. Sitting back, parking the bus for the first half and hope to nick a goal in the second. If they score first, which they will, game over.

No midfield, no creativity, no youth, no subs.

Would rather watch Pierrick, Mitchell and Scott Banks and get drubbed 6-0, then the total rubbish served up since the restart.

Tactical nous of Harry Kane taking corners and no Plan B. It’s like watching England v Iceland on a continuous loop.

"We missed the crowd"

Roy, your team is still $hit when you do play in front of a packed Selhurst.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt

Can we bet on the odds being favourable ? My half prediction will be Palace won't score. Full prediction 0-1.
