With no Solanke on the bench I've got no suggestions what to do 2nd half

AndyMuller · « **Reply #201 on:** March 31, 2018, 01:30:20 pm »

Still think we will get a couple of goals here, they will just park the big double decker coach for the 2nd half now.

It's us against the FA. What is a penalty in this league? Lamela yes, Calvinklein yes, Mané no? FFS!

disappointing but typical intl break hangover, we had better wake up in the second half. they are very clearly there for the taking.

That's a pen. If he goes down less theatrically. Var gives that.

It’s a foul and a dive.

Clear contact on him... but he dives afterwards...

If it were the other way round the pundits would be outraged...

I dont understand why Milner isnt playing Right back. I REALLY hope he hasnt had any assurances about playing there.

I really don’t understand why Milner is in the first team

You won't have a bad word said about the captain will you? He's stunk the gaff out two games in a row now.

He stunk the gaff out against Watford?

WE CAN STILL WIN IT!
Provided Wijnadun is hooked and Ox comes in.

Yes he does. He backs himself to come out and win balls like that.

You get 'keepers who are aggressive and 'keepers who aren't. There's no such thing as an aggressive 'keeper who doesn't occasionally get caught out like that.

Caught out, in this case, by what looked very much like a high boot and the ball shanking off his shin.

He shouldn't back himself that far out of his goal. And if he does then he simply needs to get better at executing it. This isn't occasional. It's regular errors.

Yeah the 19yr old who is fast,good in the challenge and is a demon at free kicks should be binned.

Fuck me.

About 14 months ago, might be more but someone said Trent won't stay a full back, his attributes are suited more as a midfielder

Totally agree - Milner is tailor made for a right back role

Actually Henderson is. Milner doesn't have the mobility any more.

Ravishing Rick Dude · « **Reply #211 on:** March 31, 2018, 01:31:30 pm »

Shame that Gomez is injured. TAA isn't ready yet. Not as a fullback anyway.

John C · « **Reply #212 on:** March 31, 2018, 01:31:33 pm »

We can still win this 3-1, we just can't continue without a change imo.

We have 75% of possession so it is hardly pointless. They are clearly dominating and forcing Palace back, just not doing enough with it currently.

If you know a midfield consists of players who can create little with possession then you can sit off and allow them to play whilst taking care of the real danger, the front 3.

how many times is trent going to be caught with the same ball, happened so many times this season.

TAAs having a poor game so far - lets hope it's a game of two half's

T.Mills · « **Reply #216 on:** March 31, 2018, 01:31:39 pm »

Turning on the ball is the absolute basics for a midfielf player, something thats drilled into you from youth level. So why the fck cant any of ours do it???

Can we please stop with the Everton-level bullshit, please? We get penalties, Mane made too much of a meal of it and therefore didn't get it.

So when does he start learning from his mistakes?

It's not enough to say he is young and will learn, his defending is costing us points now.

I think Matip challenged Benteke and Zaha made the run into the space he vacated. It was a carbon copy mate. Should have adapted from the United game and put Van Dijk on Benteke from the get go.

Matip follows Benteke but doesn’t challenge him, he does fuck all really.

He doesn't get the penalty because he's kicked, thinks about, then decides to get himself booked by being theatrical.

He also wouldn't get a pen if he stayed on his feet, its shite reffing yet again against us

Say what you want abut Milner, he's putting himself about and being brave. Wijnaldum has way more talent than him and he is literally hiding.

Henderson's inability to turn on the ball is a bigger problem but there's not much he can do about it really.

Spot on mate.

You can critique hendo and Milner all you want but they don't hide. Technical limitations absolutely but they always seem busier.

He was misplacing passes most of the game or making the safe sideways pass especially when it was such an easy game.

Standard Henderson game to be fair.

Ox and Lallana need to come on.

Don't embarrass yourself man.
If it was given against us, with the way Mane exaggerated his delayed dive - we would rightly be fuming to high heaven.

Referee made one big mistake - when he denied us advantage late on, that's it.

No it's not.

Give it a rest.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #227 on:** March 31, 2018, 01:32:39 pm »

We looked loads better after the first 25 minutes and we’ve tested the keeper a few times..

We need to up the tempo again, pressure them... United showed that they don’t like it up ‘em

Zaha was very dangerous for them, hopefully he won’t last much longer as he’s been out for yonks

SteveZissou · « **Reply #228 on:** March 31, 2018, 01:32:40 pm »

We talk about Trent learning, but he got caught out earlier in the game, then it happened again a few minutes later for the penalty move.
Basically, the same move ManUtd used twice in the last game we recently lost.

Steep learning curve...

The most frustrating thing about that first half is it will be unrecognizable from how well play in the first half on Wednesday

Milner against Zaha? Are you mad?

Yeah cos TAA has been boss. However it was a general thing for the season.
Milner is a better FB than Gomez and TAA at this stage.

Should have just stayed on his feet and crossed the ball. It was a great position and Kelly had been sat down
