Totally agree with you. We are paying good money watching a lot of overpaid players under perform.
Then we have an ex England manager that can't discern when substitutions are required!
Then we have those responsible for buying (forwards) which were absolutely vital for this current season. This bunch of so called strikers can't score goals and we can't even score a penalty when it's put on the plate for us.
There is something drastically wrong somewhere and if we don't sought it out soon, we are going to be bottom of the league in 5/6 weeks and in 5/6 months relegation!
If the ordinary guy on the terrace can see it, what is happening with those who are paid a lot of dosh to get it right. I've lost my mojo too. Come on CPFC, get it right now otherwise we will pay later! Someone bite the bullet and make some drastic changes, not a few superficial ones. WE ARE IN BIG TROUBLE, it's called freefall! It's now or never, January will be too late!
PLEASE GIVE US SOMETHING TO SHOUT ABOUT and bring in some players who will show some fight on the field. Make substitutions a lot quicker not when the players are half dead with 4 minutes to go! WAKE UP PALACE!

Who knows what would have happened had he reacted earlier or even been proactive. But doing nothing? He's starting to lose supporters because of it. If I were Parish I'd have my eyes on Benitez.

I have just spoken to a Fulham supporter of many years who watched our game against Everton.He recognised our tactics as the same as those employed by Hodgson at Fulham with the shape,organisation, spaces between the back four and midfield etc etc. He confirmed that even at Fulham, Hodgson was a manager who stuck with his starting eleven as much as possible, depending of course on the circumstances in the game.

Good managers like Roy set their teams up very well and live or die on that .The great ones also set their teams up very well but adapt change and respond during the course of the game . Roy though a good manager is not a great one
Its not as if we have the luxury of game changers on the bench and it wasn't that long ago some on here were having a fit when Pardew made changes in attempt to win games (granted he then lost most of them) the point being our bench has been weak for some years .

I don't think you'll see Benitez take another job from a chairman who backs his managers only when there's a massive emergency, and then hopes they'll get by with what they've got when things look okay.

This would suggest he's open to changing things based on how a game is going...which he clearly isnt

Is that the same Benitez that sold Gayle and Mitrovic, they now can’t score a goal as well. He plays strikers with a maximum height of 5ft7in and plays from the wing to cross into the box.

Well only one of those appears to be a clearly bad decision - and I think he was promised funds for players which never turned up.

Every manager makes “mistakes” of this kind. The question is whether - if Roy can’t turn this around - would you turn down Benitez?

Benitez isn’t the answer. Look how bad Toon have been this season. You think Roy is negative? Watch how unambitious Rafa is when trying to win games.

Roy needs to turn it around or he needs to retire. The lack of subs is inexcusable now. It’s cost us too many points. We looked tired and leggy, yes the bench isn’t good enough, but we were under the kosh and it was painfully obvious.

Hodgson has now switched firmly into Hodgson mode, which is to defend a 0-0. Don't get men forward, you don't score, easy as that.

Couple of weeks and some will be putting Colin W up for manager given his team scored more than 50% of our seasons total last Saturday !!!!!

Thing I dont get though is that if he WAS trying to defend the 0-0 why didnt he throw on Kelly? especially as Tomkins had had a whack to the head and was dazed. Surely if you are settling for a 0-0 it would be better to put some fresh legs into defence/midfield? Thats what I dont get...was he defending the 0-0 or still trying to hit on the break?
