Palace have lost one game in their last eight. That loss was a 1-0 defeat v Spurs at Wembley, where, among several (the majority) of chances, Wilf missed an open goal.
My desire? To want the next eight games to yield the same return. Maybe an extra win here or there, but a missed penalty is evidence of nothing.
Find a team who can achieve my desire...oh already in place, Rejects and all. Difficult to understand the point of this thread.
If Palace hired a new manager who could do what Woy has achieved I would ask why? This post is a little like love: we don't know what we have 'til its gone. Not a bad synopsis...we all love Palace, though some have an odd way of showing this. COYP

The difference is our team is set up to let the player with the ball do it on his own too much with little or no support and their's and other teams are set up to always have an option available.

When we haven't got the result we need we start going for it after 80 mins.

Id Iike to see just a bit of full back overlapping of these predictable inside out wide midfielders. This is a big reason why Andros can't build on anything and Cheek is easily kept quiet. And all whilst there's Benteke stood in the box. Crosses 25 yards from the by line are pointless and predictable again.

We're predictable and quite easy to defend for 80 mins. Quite a fair thing to say and we won't keep winning CRUCIAL games in a few minutes.

Who's old enough to remember the inside right and inside left positions, because that is really how we are playing at the moment and by definition, there is no width because that used to be supplied by the wingers under the old 2,3,5 system.

A few thoughts...
As others have said, Zaha should be on the wing where he can cause damage (as in the last 5 mins last night). Sako would be a better option alongside Benteke if Roy insists on a 442. Loftus-Cheek should be in the centre as he showed for England not wasted out wide where he is anonymous. The problem then is who does he play instead of - we're already not playing Jimmy Mac in the middle who is our best box-to-box midfielder. Schlupp in not a left-back - not sure what he really is as he seems unwilling to attack defenders when he does get forward. PVA makes too many errors there and there's talk about Souare being loaned out in January. Perhaps we could try Riedewald at left-back - he has played there for Ajax?

Also, when we get free-kicks in the middle of the pitch, we just take them quickly with a short pass and then usually lose it again. What happened to lumping the ball into the box? Surely more chance of scoring with Benteke, Dann, Tomkins?

Haha, sort of tells you what sort of players we should be signing then. Liverpool and Man City aren't doing too bad with that "little fast" approach.

I think Silva and Mane would tell you its a little more complicated in the modern game :-)
