Howmanheyman 33821 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) Well whoever was backing palace's penalty taker for an anytime goal was onto a pretty good/safe bet. We'll stay up and that's what's making me shrug my shoulders rather than getting worked up but this is fucking shite tbh. A draw or a narrow win when we're likely to stay up wouldn't have been as celebrated as it would've been a few weeks ago. Modern football brought to you by Mike Ashley, eh? Absolute shite.

Noelie 103 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 SHITE......FOR FUCKS SAKE. Should have known this would happen, we don't win winnable games. I AM REALLY PISSED OFF. Another weekend ruined, I'm too old for this depression and frustration thrust upon me. C'mon Rafa, GET IT FUCKING RIGHT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isegrim 9896 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 If we were half as good at shooting into the goal as ourselves into the foot we would long be safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I have to say that Almiron isn't affecting games as much as Rafa hoped, no assists and no goals yet. He shows glimpses of what he can do but he hasn't had a solid impact in recent games where we need him to step up. One bit of magic yesterday would have swayed a tight game.

wykikitoon 20712 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I think that's a little harsh on him. It will take some time to settle from the MLS. He is having an effect in other area's. Teams are clearly shit scared of his pace so are putting more focus on him which is giving Rondon and Perez more time on the ball. Yesterday he was a little quieter than normal but still made some great runs. At the end of the season we need a massive clearout, but in all honesty, we won't as that means a big recruitment drive and we know the SP there. I like Ritchie and he's been an honest player for us and grafted but he's not cutting the mustard anymore. If Almiron had better quality than him I think he would flower better.

Perez is poor aswell, yes he's scored important goals in the past but in the main he just floats through games looking for soft free-kicks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed right off his game and not happy at being benched in the first place. He needs to be playing from the start or not at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7169 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) He was misplacing 10 yard passes. Hasn't started the last 26 games apparently. Wouldn't be surprised to see him gone in the summer. And if Perez is itching to leave id sell him too. He scores a few goals but flatters to deceive most matches for me. The squad needs an overhaul unfortunately. GK and CBs are sorted. Every other position is short on quality Edited April 8, 2019 by Kid Dynamite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 20712 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Perez has picked his game up since Almiron has come, but is still weak as cat's piss. Problem is, like most know, the squad needs an overhaul, that's not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego21 2138 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Perez recently said in spanish press he want to comeback to Spain in the future. But I think he is not thinking for this summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 22142 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I was disappointed with Almiron the other night against Arsenal. But then we were pretty awful from 1-11 so perhaps harsh to single him out. I watched him closely for glimpses of magic but he didn’t do much when he did manage to get on the ball. Early days obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1260 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Thought Almiron was better than he'd been in a few weeks on Saturday. At the end of the day, we did more than enough to win that game comfortably. But if you don't put your chances away you'll get punished more often than not at this level. Nothing to be concerned or particularly excited about though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7169 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) I think Almiron is class personally. Works hard, fast as fuck, skillful, good shot. He started well, then had a long international break, then has played in 2 poor games against Arsenal and Palace. A full pre season and some better players around him and I reckon he will have a very good 2nd season Edited April 8, 2019 by Kid Dynamite 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Like I posted in here at half time, we were the dominant side and just needed extra quality in and around the box. That carried onto the second half but we lost shape when Lejeune went off. They capitalised on the one opening they had and it was a smash and grab, one shot one goal. Poor Lejeune has no luck, that's his season over with the other knee this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7169 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 That was the killer. I think we had 18 shots. They had 1 on target, gifted to them by Yedlin, and fucking scored. We had this issue in the first half of the season. We have one of the best defences in the league and would rarely concede more than 1 goal a game. Except we were toothless up front so seemed to lose a ton of games 1-0, usually due to the 1 defensive lapse we had in the full 90 mins. Our Summer transfers need to be able to provide some creativity. A CM to play alongside Longstaff/Hayden, 2 new wing backs, a replacement for Perez. Although we've been saying this for years.
