Even though we shouldn't expect to beat the big teams do you think that was a satisfactory performance today? Surely we should expect a better performance than that.

weve already beaten the so called big 6.why can't we after 7 years in the Premier league believe that we are better than just surviving

Please no! Both are worse than Hodgson. At least chuck in an unrealistic name! Poch maybe?

Systematically dragged down by the lawmakers

Down on the South Coast today,a local fortune teller told me that unless we belatedly make one or two signings before the window closes,that we have become just too complacent,and will fail badly this season believing in our early season optimism,that we will be very successful for once.
Cannot argue with her prophesy.

We just lost to a team who’ve spent over 100+ million on attacking players because Sakho made 3 costly errors that Roy can’t legislate for. Before then we didn’t look in any danger.

Where were you lot when we beat United? 2 years in a row by the way. Something NO manager has ever done with Palace in the Prem. Not to mention the wins against City and Arsenal. Do you think he set the team out today any differently to those games?

We can’t celebrate Roys tactics when we beat the ‘Top 6’ and then bemoan them when we don’t. We’re a mid table side, with inconsistent players (which is why they’re at palace), sometimes we’ll get surprise wins, most of the time we won’t and it will look comfortable for big sides. That’s football.

Actually yes I do. I think he told them to play deep and narrow and stay in the game as long as possible. Back to the tactics from last season. Trouble is we went a goal down and game over. Didn't start off like that against utd...plus it was obvious very early that we were being overrun in midfield and playing 442 wasnt working, did he change it in any way?
