Just switched on... watched 60 seconds and Palace should have had three. It's as if this eleven know they aren't playing in Bilbao and as such couldn't give a fuck...

"Brilliant" squad management by Ange yet again if he's told them that A: this game doesn't matter, and/or B: that they don't have much of a chance of starting in the final.

I hate the "some games are unimportant" narrative. Yes, the EL final is more important. But all competitive games should be important because surely it is important to go into the final in good form?
 
It's so funny to me that the whole narrative around Ange was his revolutionary style of all-out attacking football.

You score 4 we'll score 5.

Look at the shit we've been served up all season. We can't string a pass together. I don't understand how it can all go to shit so dramatically. I guess it's as simple as higher level managers in the PL finding it very easy to nullify Angeball and Fatman is too stubborn/dumb to counter.
 
Palace are playing an experienced squad who have playing together all season with their youngest being 25.

We have 6 players under 22, inc 2 teenagers.
 
I went to Chesham FC yesterday to watch a comedy football match between Chicken City and Egg United, where the players were mostly unfit stand-up comedians from TV panel shows.

The standard was higher than we've shown today.

I wouldn't start him, just like I wouldn't start - or have started - Kulu.

And can we stop talking about him like he has dinner in a kiddies chair.

The boy is a very good, technical player and very mature for his age, who can come off the bench and have actual impact and enhance our attacking play.

Totally mismanaged by fat cunt.
 
Angela had been all about the players looking to move the ball forward quickly and aggressively. As that back pass by Odobert showed, this is anything but.

Incredible we’re still level.
 
Good news, after 40 minutes we finally decided to cover the left side of the pitch taking away 80% of Palace's attacking threat this half.
