Rick Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Hickey got a yellow for him blocking Pope, Almiron does even worse and nothing. Craig Pawson is easily the worst ref in the country, and that’s saying something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 This has been a poor game overall, we started well and got worse. Newcastle have been average throughout, gifted the game to them. They might get 3 points today but this is a worrying performance for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeKhrush Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 It is 3 points but the squad management leads much to be desired, giving Howe more players has been the worst thing for him as he seems to have no faith in making changes or makes rudimentary changes.

Unfortunately once theyre 1-0 up they dont need to push so high. Henry is a massive loss too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted September 16, 2023 Author Administrator Share Posted September 16, 2023 1 hour ago, The Palace Fan said: Its the lack of consistency i find jarring. They spent ages at the monitor to see whether something that was supposed to be 'clear and obvious' was a penalty, and then missed the blatant encroachment. I thought encroachment didn't matter if the penalty was scored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't read it that way yet because we were under huge pressure to win and this looked just like those occasions last season. A couple of bad results stifles the ability to play free flowing football and you find yourself just having to grind out a result at home. A huge part of football is psychological. Our mentality has been sliding so this is massive to start moving forward again. We haven't found the form working 11 yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our mentality has been sliding so this is massive to start moving forward again. We haven't found the form working 11 yet. I was wondering if this was going to be a game where we rested some players and maybe went with more energy and youth. While Burn had one massive defensive play, his inclusion at left back is questionable and teams pin us back because Burn can't play out and he offers nothing going forward. I thought we may have at least seen Lewis Hall play if not Livramento as well. Burn and Trippier look old and leggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burn is out of form at the minute. It's more than just his limitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the attacking team commit the encroachment and score then the penalty should be retaken. If the defending team do it then the goal stands.

Dave Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Overall it looked like a good performance from us. We are getting the maximum out of our thin squad. We got tired at the end and im more frustrated we didnt have options on the bench than the 50/50 penalty call. The big concern is the situation every Palace fan saw happening is happening. Olise, Franca, Guehi, Lerma, Tomkins, Ferguson all already out and now concerns for Ayew and Johnstone. We are not prepared, we don't have the numbers and were dropping points because weve got no game changers on the bench. The board have once again failed Roy and we're going to be leaning on his experience heavily until at least Christmas but most likely until he retires.

Reluctant Striker Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I think the general media narrative of Chelsea players downed tools last season needs to reassessed. Yes, there is an injury crisis. Yes, it's only Aston Villa next. There will be goals in that match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted September 17, 2023 Author Administrator Share Posted September 17, 2023 Whether it looks offside or not from VAR's angle, I'd have thought it'd be irrelevant because of Beto going to intercept Gabriel's pass, which to me looked like a deliberate touch?

Administrator Stan Posted September 17, 2023 Author Administrator Share Posted September 17, 2023 About 5 players surround the ref there and not one of them booked. I would say the lack of consistency is bizarre but it's just so unsurprising. The game itself remains an absolute borefest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
