Thing is, we can’t have him thinking that way or else we won’t get anything out of him between now and the m end of the season.

"We love you Palace, we f@cking hate Man U, We love you Palace, we hate the brighton too, We love you Palace we play in red 'n' blue, so f@ck you, and you ...

Parish has stated that Pardew persuaded him to spend all that money on Bentake by asserting that he would score 15-20 goals a season which would go a good way to ensuring safety.
The problem is that when he Benteke does not achieve that sort of return who is going to make up the shortfall of goals?
You may be able to nick a few 1-0 wins but keeping clean sheets has not been a recent Palace strongpoint.
I don’t expect Benteke to necessarily run the channels or score from 30 yards but he should have scored at least 10 goals this season from presentable chances.
This can be the difference between staying up and going down.

Our defence was looking solid don't you think until we started to get the whole raft of injuries. One player after another being replaced, never the same back four together and as good as some of our defenders are, it must be very hard to have continual changes of team mates. Most successful teams are built around a solid and consistently available back four such as Chelsea in their dominant period.

I agree with you that trying to nick a game 1-0 is not our forte, exacerbated by the above, therefore a lack of goals at the other end is always going to cause us trouble. Should Benteke have scored a lot more goals this year? Definitely he should, but no competition for that spot has been an issue.

all right pal i drive myself crazy when you see some of other posters when they think that sun shines out of his arse and he does this and that he's not trying hard enough if he was then it would at least be like what he got last season 15 goals he could have been on 20 if not more if he put away chances he's had this season wouldn't he though

it can be hard work trying to be funny on here sometimes

EverybodyDannsNow fair enough pal no one's came out and said in a post that the "sun shines out of his arse"in so many other words the minority of his supporters would stay loyal towards him by stating with numbers and assists that he's playing well enough to keep with him in confidence that things would change if he was selected for all the games remaining im just saying that he's not going to get any better i think he's had his chance to win in past 4-5 matches and that's religation form if they was competition for his place he would have been dropped way before now but as with all the problems with injuries that's not happened he's lost his hunger to put ball away and he's not going to get it back no matter how hard he tries i hope for the rest of the team he proves me wrong until then if they was cover I'd drop him
