Crystal Palace - v - Leeds United *** Matchday Thread ***

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

I'll give Marsch the benefit of the doubt for a while longer but seen as we now basically have a fully fit squad (he CHOSE not to sign a replacement for Firpo so as far as I'm concerned we are fully fit) it is worrying how **** we look. Even when we look good it isn't loads of good play it is just hit it long, press them and hope we can force an error or catch them out when they're not set up. The rare bits of quality genuinely just look like hangovers from Bielsa coaching.

What was more concerning was how cluelessly bad we looked once they went 2-1 up, we never looked like getting the ball never mind actually threatening their goal.

I'll back the guy as he is here and seems a good bloke but honestly, I am just waiting for the inevitable day he is gone so that we can get someone who can progress the team properly because this hump it long and hope we can press them to win it back tactic is so mind numbingly crap, it will work every now and then but generally we will have performances like last 3

Sinisterra can’t come back into the side quick enough.

Heard a few people make the Bielsa comment too. Defensively Marsch is supposed to set up better but we have conceded some soft goals and suspect we will continue to do so.

Joffy needs more than 6 minutes to make an impact.

With Sinisterra back then maybe Rodrigo drops to the bench and we have Harrison, Aaronson and Sinisterra behind Bambi.

Bambi is so irritating as when on form he is excellent but when he isn’t ….
